Dr. Chiu Transformed My Silhouette

WORTH IT
Treatments: Liposuction of the thighs, waist, back, and chin
Consultation
I began my journey with Dr. Chiu in June 2020, during the pandemic. His office took extra precautions including temperature checks at the door, masks, etc. to ensure that Covid would not get in the way of my dreams of a new body.
Dr. Chiu's consultation was top notch. He spent time answering all of my questions thoroughly. He even allowed me to FaceTime my mom in another state to see if she had any questions about the procedure. He took his time and never made me feel rushed. Dr. Chiu showed me many different potential outcomes to help me decide which areas to target with lipo. His bedside manner was exceptional and I felt very comfortable in his knowledge and skill as a surgeon.
Pre-Op
My pre-op appointment was just as comprehensive as my initial consult. I was provided with a packet of instructions for how to prepare my body a few weeks before surgery. Instructions included adding supplements and dietary changes for a few weeks prior to the big day.
Before surgery, Dr. Chiu's staff and anesthesiologist followed up with me to ensure I was clear on the directions. The anesthesiologist answered all of my last-minute questions, informed me of his very impressive educational and professional background, and assuaged all of my jitters about undergoing the procedure.
The Surgery
The facility in which Dr. Chiu performed my surgery was clean, technologically advanced, and discreet (if that matters to you).
Dr. Chiu and I had one final conversation about my exact goals. He confirmed what work would be done and allowed me to pray over all of the staff. I fell asleep comfortably and woke up what seemed like moments later in my compression garments. Ladies, it does hurt, but beauty is pain and the results are so worth it.
Results
I saw immediate results within a day or two of surgery, losing 3 inches from my tummy even with all of the swelling. It's now been almost 5 weeks since surgery. As my swelling continues to go down, I'm noticing I have lost more inches (plural), found abs (I didn't know I had them), and a nice line leading into my pelvis (that "V" we all dream of). My thighs look great as well. Dr. Chiu sculpted them to look more shapely and proportionate to the rest of my body. My chin is still pretty swollen, but I can already see a significant change in my facial structure. I look more almond-shaped than round, which is exactly what I wanted. Also, when I say swollen, my face is no puffier than pre-op, but I can feel the swelling in my neck and cheeks. Most people don't notice. My entire silhouette has been completely transformed and I feel like a new person.
After Care
I've had 3 post-op appointments. Nurse Jocelyn (who is AMAZING btw) and I are on a texting basis to discuss things like changes to my compression garments and fluid intake. During each in-office appointment, Dr. Chiu has spent ample time with me, never rushing me.
I've had 4 post-op massages with Dr. Chiu's recommendation, Brenda. She is fabulous. She does in-home appointments and although the treatments are painful, I can feel the difference in my recovery right after our sessions.
Conclusion
In summation, Dr. Chiu is the clear choice in plastic surgeons in LA. You will be in wonderful hands.
