From the reviews

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Chen and his team of nurses and anesthesiologist. I received a mini facelift; it took years of contemplation and worry to make the leap, and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner with this team! The entire process went literally perfectly, from beginning to end!

★★★★★ — Nancy, Mar 2026

Where do I start? Dr. Knotts has preformed 4 surgeries on me to date, the most recent 6 weeks ago. Dr. Knotts is one of the few people in this town that I respect.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Jan 2026

I would highly recommend Dr. Chen. It’s only been two weeks and I love the amazing results. He is very understanding and takes his time to analyze what he is going to do for you has an individual. He is very knowledgeable in his field of practice. Thank you so much for all you did for me.

★★★★★ — Mrs., Aug 2025

Having had a mini facelift and upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Chen was nothing short of wonderful. My result is spectacular. I am so pleased. His expertise and that of his staff made my experience a great one. They work in excellence from beginning to end.

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.
