From the reviews

Dr. Chen was the plastic surgeon on call when I went to the ER with an infection of my right breast implant that was placed over 30 years ago. She took care of me and took care of the infection. I was in so much pain, and she took me to surgery at night to remove the implant and wash out the infection.

★★★★★ — Bet, May 2025

I’ve worked in plastic surgery and with many surgeons for many years. I was very impressed with Dr. Chen! You spend the majority of your consultation time speaking with her versus a staff member, you have direct contact with her at all times, she gives out an emergency cell number for questions after a procedure, her…

My Fiance had an Abdominoplasty and liposuction with Dr. Joyce Chen about 4 weeks ago. The results are amazing! First off, her stomach looks perfectly fit and natural. Aside from the scar, which is still healing you would never know that she had this procedure done.

★★★★★ — Mark, Sep 2024

I was googling abdominal plasty surgeons and came across Dr Chens website. I liked the fact that Dr Chen is a reconstruction plastic surgeon and works with babies who have cleft palate issues. For me that was the reason I chose to have a consultation with her and not some cosmetic dr advertising for really cheap.

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.
