Success Stories

"It is funny no matter how much older I got I still felt like the same person I was in my early 20's. However, as I passed a mirror it was as if someone else was looking back a me. Finally, after being asked "Are you tired? You look like it." I knew it was time to take action, the sooner the better. After careful research making sure the plastic surgeon was board certified and properly trained, I mad an appointment with Dr. Chin.

I understood surgery would not make me look 20 again but after meeting with Dr. Chin and discussing the different options available to me, I had faith that the changes would be a step in the right direction.

It's funny how we perceive ourselves. I though just a little work around the eyes would make the difference and my jawline needed a little definition. When Dr Chin explained to me the concerns I had about my eyes were indeed valid. But what I needed for the proper look was a browlift. The chin definition could best be achieved by a facelift. I had to give it some thought. This was more surgery that I had anticipated. But to get my eyes and face to balance made sense. At the consultation I was shown pictures of some of Dr. Chin's patients and noticed how natural they looked, unlike some of the people I had seen in magazines that had that "surprised look" or "too tight." I decided to go ahead and take Dr. Chin's advice. He had taken time to explain my options in detail and I felt very comfortable with him.

On the day of the surgery I was nervous but Dr. Chin and the staff were very reassuring. Everything was so confidential. The operating room was AAAHC accredited and on site. One of the concerns I had was anesthesia. But everyone was wonderful. Everything went just as planned.

The recovery was pretty much as expected except that I really thought there would be more pain. I was back to work in about 10 days. I am so delighted with the results. My family, friends, and co-workers have all commented on how rested and happy I look. Looking in the mirror now is a lot more fun.

It has been 2 years since my surgery and many of my friends and family have become patients of Dr. Chin. I am always happy to refer someone to Dr. Chin knowing they will be taken care of just as well as I was." ..... V.A.
