How We Do It:
WHAT TO EXPECT

Undergoing any facial plastic procedure can be nerve-wracking, especially if you’re new to plastic surgery.  Don’t worry, Our compassionate and knowledgeable team will make you feel at home. Here’s how our team at Chen Facial Plastic Surgery will ensure your safety, comfort, and satisfaction throughout the process:

STEP 01

Inquiry & Scheduling

After your inquiry, Meghan, our front office coordinator, will call you to discuss your appointment schedule.

STEP 02

Welcome Email

You will then receive a welcome email introducing you to our practice, staff, and what makes us unique.

STEP 03

Pre-Consultation Call

Before your appointment, Emmy, our patient care coordinator, will call you for a pre-consultation.

She’ll assist you through every step, from the consultation to the surgery and beyond.

STEP 04

Meet Dr. Chen

During the consultation, you’ll meet with Dr. Chen and discuss your concerns and goals with him.

Our team will then take photos of you. We typically use computer software to morph these images and demonstrate potential outcomes.

We also examine before-and-after photos of other patients.

STEP 05

Plan & Book Your Surgery

Dr. Chen will recommend the best treatment for your case and take the time to answer all their questions. Emmy will then discuss finances and scheduling. The surgery is then booked.

STEP 06

Preoperative Appointment

You’ll visit the clinic for a preoperative appointment before the scheduled procedure to ensure you’re ready for surgery and recovery.

During this phase, we’ll continue to address your concerns and questions. We want you to be well-informed and feel confident about your upcoming surgery.

Dr. Chen typically opts for sedation over general anesthesia for cosmetic surgeries. This preferred technique helps patients to wake up quicker and recover more comfortably.

After SURGERY CARE

Dr. Chen will see you the following day in the office or when he visits the aftercare facility where you stay to check on you.

We’ll give you the option to go to an aftercare facility after surgery to help you have the best possible recovery.

During the first week, Emmy will maintain close contact with you to monitor your progress.

Then, a week after surgery, you will have a post-op in-office appointment for suture removal and wound check.

But our dedication to comprehensive care doesn’t end there. We’ll keep in touch with you regularly — typically at intervals of one, three, six, and 12 months post-surgery.

During your recovery, you can discuss any concerns or questions with Dr. Chen anytime by calling or texting him at his phone number.

If any issues come up, Dr. Chen can immediately see, evaluate, and manage them.

FEATURED PROCEDURES

Facial
REJUVENATION

Facial rejuvenation covers various procedures that aim to correct or reverse the signs of aging.

With aging, three things happen: 

  • Gravitational descent of tissues
  • Volume loss
  • Skin changes

Dr. Chen’s in-depth expertise ensures you achieve the best results by maintaining the delicate balance of correcting those three aspects. He does so through lifting, volume restoration, and skin resurfacing.

He aims for a natural, youthful look so no one can tell you “did something” to your face.

Each facial rejuvenation procedure should be tailored to your anatomy and goals.

That’s why this procedure requires an intricate understanding of facial anatomy and the aging process that only a uniquely qualified surgeon like Dr. Chen can accomplish.

Ready to turn back the clock and let your inner youth shine through?  Book an appointment with Dr. Chen today, and begin your journey to a revitalized, confident you.

FEATURED PROCEDURES

Rhinoplasty and
REVISION RHINOPLASTY

Nose jobs (rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty) are the pinnacle of plastic surgery. They’re complex and require years of dedicated study and practice to master.

During a rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon manages three types of tissue that are structured differently in ever person:

  • Bone
  • Cartilage
  • Skin or soft organ tissue

These considerations make the procedure exceptionally challenging. No wonder rhinoplasty has high revision rates (5% to 15%).

Dr. Chen’s expertise, experience, and precision make him the perfect choice for your rhinoplasty. Sculpting the nose isn’t just about looks—it’s also about improving breathing too.

And since the nose is front and center, every detail counts, and there’s no room for error.

Consistent, lasting results in rhinoplasty are tough to achieve, but when everything clicks, it’s incredibly rewarding for both you and Dr. Chen.

Ready to let your true beauty shine? Trust Dr. Chen to craft a nose that’s both beautiful and functional.

FEATURED PROCEDURES

Facial Feminization
SURGERY

FFS (facial feminization surgery) covers various procedures aimed at softening masculine-looking features. These techniques can help you achieve a more feminine, elegant appearance that aligns with your gender identity.

Dr. Chen specialized in FFS to be a beacon of hope for the transgender community.

He recognizes the profound hardships and discrimination this marginalized group endures, compounded by the scarcity of skilled and qualified providers.

Too often, transgender patients are left with no choice but to seek risky, unlicensed procedures abroad or in backrooms, thus risking their health and safety.

Driven by a mission to relieve this unfortunate condition, Dr. Chen provides compassionate, quality FFS treatment.

Just as he has committed himself to annual medical missions, he has dedicated his professional career to reducing the stigma associated with gender dysphoria.

As such, he is uniquely qualified to match how you look with who you really are and feel inside.

For Dr. Chen, FFS is not just a technical procedure but an art form, sculpting feminine features with precision and care.

His deep understanding of facial anatomy and his artistic touch ensure a safe and beautiful transformation.

Ready to see your true self in the mirror? Let Dr. Chen guide you. Schedule an appointment now and take the first step towards a more confident and authentic life.

Out of Town
PATIENTS

We offer the same services to both local and out-of-town patients.

Emmy, our patient care coordinator, will help you schedule your surgery and plan your post-operative care, including helping you with travel arrangements if needed.

Typically, our out-of-town patients stay a few days at an aftercare facility before transitioning to a hotel.

You’ll usually spend about a week in town after surgery, with a follow-up appointment scheduled one week later before you head home.
