From the reviews
Dr. Chu takes the time to answer questions thoroughly and completely. I felt fortunate to have been referred to her for my surgery as I had complete confidence in her ability. She communicated everything I needed to know and followed up with me after surgery.
I’m 5 years out from being diagnosed with breast cancer. Dr. Chu saved my life. She is very efficient, effective, skilled and compassionate. I am very grateful for her help.
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2020. The middle of Covid! Everyone at Tahoe Forest recommended Dr. Chu to conduct the mastectomy. I was lucky enough to be taken on by Dr. Chu as a patient as TFH was absolutely right. I live an active life and I was worried about how the surgery would affect me.
Getting a diagnosis of breast cancer was devastating and frightening. Dr. Chu was recommended to me and from the first contact with her amazing staff, I felt comfortable and calmer. Dr. Chu explained everything so clearly that I never felt the need for a second opinion.
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.
