Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Glad I Chose Dr. Cheng

I know the best reviews have photos but I'm a private person so forgive the lack of photographs. But I wanted to come on here because I am happy with Dr. Cheng's work. I had lipo 360 and fat transfer to buttocks (BBL). When I had my initial consultation, Dr. Cheng's staff asked me what I was looking for in terms of results. I really think this is important because what I was looking for was my figure to be balanced as I am top heavy. They made it clear, however, that if I wanted a larger backside that this wasn't something they advised. So if this is something you want (a big booty!), make sure you tell them this to see if this is possible.
As for the day of the surgery, everyone was really kind. From the nurses, to the anestheologist, to Dr. Cheng, they really try to make you as comfortable as possible. I was there in the morning until early afternoon. I have to admit I have a low pain threshold so post-op was grueling for me. I also had a slight complication in that the pain meds prevented me from urinating so I had to get a catheter a couple days later. Ever try to walk around w/ a catheter? It sucks. I decided to stop taking the pain meds just so I could remove the catheter (remember, I have a real low tolerance for pain so that should tell you how much I hated having a catheter.) After a couple of days, I added back the pain meds but took them twice a day rather than every 4-6 hours and I was able to go to the bathroom.
I'm now 17 days post op and appreciate Dr. Cheng's work. Many others said they experience leakage so I had liners on my bed and disposable underwear (think Depends) ready to use. But I had very little leakage, just some spotting from my arms and underneath my breasts and that was only one night. Maybe it's because he put 600 cc in each buttock versus what some others receive which is a lot more. But that's why Dr. Chester wanted to know what my expectations were because he said the body rejects fat after a certain amount and that my skin could only stretch to a certain amount. In any case, I had very little leakage which I was pleased with. Also my incisions were clean and healing quite nicely. It's been just two and half weeks so I know I'll need to revisit this review to give an update. But I felt like I had to write because Dr. Cheng doesn't have many BBL reviews yet I know he does A LOT of them so I suppose his patients are very much like me and want to be private. The reason I decided on Dr. Cheng was because of a couple personal recommendations people gave me. If not for that, I don't think I would have gone with him based on the reviews here. As someone who did a lot of research, I would have loved to read recent (and good) reviews for him so I'm adding mine.
