Lavinia K Chong MD Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Chong is in her own league. She is incredibly thorough with her explanations. She is honest and forthright with you about her procedures. I've met other Doctors who are so arrogant and make you feel less than but Dr. Chong is kind friendly and so down to earth. Her staff is friendly and professional. I highly recommend going to her. You wont be disappointed.

Phenomenal experience. I had my breast implants removed. Dr. Chong recommended the bare minimum (she doesnt push unnecessary procedures) and it worked great. She is a super loving, caring doctor. My experience was above and beyond my expectations. The results I got were better than expected. My breasts look natural, I feel great, energized and happy to have an authentic body. At first I was scared how they would look like but after 4-6 weeks my body was able to heal even more and looked completely different- better! I was referred by a friend that also had the same procedure with Dr Chong and had a fantastic experience. I have no words to express how grateful I feel to have found Dr Chong. She empowered me and made me feel safe. My natural breasts look so much better in my body. You have to be very patient with the process and your body will heal perfectly. After the surgery I had only 1 Tylenol - I wasnt in pain and could go for a long walk 1 week after the surgery. It was a easy recovery. 10.000.000 stars to Dr. Chong.

Just saw that an angry lady gave Dr. Chong one star, NONSENSE! She is the most compassionate, talented, and professional surgeon you will meet. All of the people I have referred to her, loved her. I have been her patient since early 2000. She even took care of redoing my son's scar after he split his head open. She has her patients best interests at heart, and guess what? She really cares about providing the best results possible. She is very respectful, and honest too. She gives her patients one thing that few doctors give anymore, and that is time! She is at the top of her industry and her reputation is impeccable. So please, ignore that stupid review, and ask around instead. You will find countless people that love her not only for her fine skills as a surgeon, but also for the wonderful woman she is.

I'm so happy to have found Dr. Chong and her wonderful team for my surgery! I met with several surgeons in the San Diego area before Dr. Chong was recommended to me by another doctor in Orange County. It is great having a female surgeon who understands women. She is extremely professional, skilled, caring and will go above and beyond to take care of you and achieve your desired result without over-promising. One of the reasons I chose Dr. Chong was because she offered a solution to my surgical issue that no other doctor had suggested, and she delivered. All of her nursing staff are absolutely wonderful as well! Nicole, Taylor and Taryn took excellent care of me and are all so compassionate. Erika and Nancy in the front office are extremely capable, responsive, helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Chong and her staff to anyone considering plastic surgery.

Never have I thought Id be leaving a review for a doctors office, but my experience has been so incredible that I had to. My decision to come to Dr. Chong for my first breast augmentation has been one of the best decisions Ive made in my life - she is so sweet, trustworthy, and is truly amazing at what she does. She made me feel safe despite how terrified I was feeling to be going under a major surgery like this. I wanted to look natural more than anything and she gave me suggestions as she would if I were her own daughter, and I really appreciated that. Three years later and Im still loving how they turned out! Not to mention I referred a friend to get her procedure done here and she absolutely loved her new look as well. Ive also met the staff (Nancy, Erika, Taylor, and the anesthesiologist whose name I forgot) and they are all so kind, caring, thorough with what they do, and just genuine good people. Im so grateful to have had such a great experience because I know not everyone does unfortunately. I highly recommend Dr. Chong to everyone. I promise you wont regret it!
