ABOUT CHAO PLASTIC SURGERY
THE CHAO APPROACH
The Chao Plastic Surgery team provides a welcoming, professional environment where you, the patient, are our top priority. We value all of your unique traits—what makes you, you—and our treatment reflects just that. The success of our practice is dependent on our ability to build a foundation of trust with our patients, which we accomplish by treating every person as an individual.
Education and experience are key ingredients to our team’s success. We pride ourselves on keeping current on the latest techniques and standards in cosmetic procedures in order to provide our patients with the safest treatments and the most optimal results. By providing comprehensive treatment planning and adhering to strict standards, we ensure that treatments go smoothly and patients achieve the results they desire.
At Chao Plastic Surgery, we understand how big of a decision cosmetic procedures are and how many emotions are in play. We don’t take this lightly and strive to make your treatment an emotionally positive experience. We are devoted to providing you with excellent, personalized care to make your consultation and surgery as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
Each of our procedures is customized to help you achieve your personal aesthetic goals, and our experienced team is committed to helping you improve your appearance and self-confidence. By combining cutting-edge techniques with board-certified cosmetic surgeons and unparalleled quality of care, Chao Plastic Surgery delivers extraordinary results.
CONSULTATIONS
We all know the power of a first impression…
Your consultation is a crucial moment for you and for team Chao. It gives us the chance to get to know each other and discuss which specific procedures would provide the best results for your unique goals, as well as go over the ins and outs of our practice and our team’s approach to treatment. After we’ve covered all your questions, we’ll decide what comes next—together.
