WORTH IT
Excellent and exceptional. Dr. Chen is a true professional and excellent surgeon with a fine sense of aesthetics. I had corrective breast implants, a tummy tuck, and a mini facelift.

He did the implants about 20 years ago; other local surgeons wanted to do reconstructive surgery including lifting which would product very visible scarring for my hypoplastic tuberous chest, but Dr. Chen said it wasn't necessary; it was all in his expertise. My chest looks totally natural, 34C. He just replaced the saline implants with silicone and did a crescent lift, after I breast fed within the last 20 years (yes, I was able to breast feed!)

He also did a mini lift and under the chin lipo. The last 5 years have been very hard and my face and jowls were showing it, I inherited jowls and chin and I was looking my age. He did a mini lift and chin lipo and took 15 years off my face (I have very good skin to begin with).

Finally he did a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck was truly masterful. I had severe diastis recti (I have always had it but it was very much worsened after having a child, and c section). I worried I would develop a hernia because I lift heavy weights. I now actually have not only a flat stomach, it is slightly concave, and it goes in at the sides, and I'm only at 3 weeks out. His tummy tuck technique is part of the mastery - recovery for me is estimated at a month or so, because of his superior drainless tummy tuck method.

Last, Dr. Chen is truly kind and wants to help his patients. I appreciate him.

I won't recommend anyone else in Albuquerque except for his practice, Plastic Surgery Institute of New Mexico.
