From the reviews
Dr Chen was amazing! Breast cancer and a gene mutation gave me no choice but to have a double mastectomy. My experience couldn’t have been better. My breasts look like mine but better. I was fortunately able to do nipple sparing, direct to implant with nerve grafting. Surgery was a success and recovery went great.
On June 26/2025 life as I knew has changed forever. Diagnosis: invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer! No pain, no symptoms, no family history yet, here we are. The initial treatment plan was a lumpectomy, followed by radiation therapy, and then 5-10 years of endocrine therapy.
As a trans guy who decided to go with Dr. Elaina Chen for my top surgery, I was unsure when picking a surgeon because the ones who were more well known for gender affirming top surgery in the Chicago area were so expensive and unable to work with my insurance. Luckily, I found Dr. Chen and her amazing team!
Where do I even start? I highly recommend Dr. Chen and her team! I’ve met with many doctors for my FTM Top Surgery, it was not the best experience, but once I met Dr. Chen I knew she was gonna make my dream into a reality. Dr. Chen and her team are the absolute best!
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
