Dr. Chang is already widely known for her phenomenal work in plastic surgery, but I felt it necessary to mention how incredible my experience was working with her and her fantastic team in this particular regard. I recently had to have a small double-hernia repair and (minor) foot surgery. There are always risks with surgery, and even under the care of an expert things can still go wrong. It's ridiculously important to choose a surgeon who can give you the best shot at ideal results despite the risks. I knew that in working with Dr. Chang I would have the best chance of recovering well, without a gnarly scar (important to me), and I am beyond thrilled with the results. She is a true surgical artist. The surgery and recovery was absolutely seamless. I had surprisingly little pain throughout the process, and I can safely say that there is zero indication to the untrained eye that I've had any surgery at all. I'm four weeks out, but legitimately looked quite normal at the two week mark--No one would ever suspect that I just had surgery. Her entire team is impeccably professional and I felt as cared for as one should when undergoing such an endeavor. I highly recommend her in the same way she was highly recommended to me as I believe her surgical expertise vastly exceeds all expectations. Thank you again Dr. Chang and team! read more

I'm only reviewing the initial call I received from this office because it was so disappointing, I decided not to pursue working with them. The man on the call immediately laid out the fees for the consultation ($500 non refundable - par for BH surgeons) and the cost for a facelift ($80,000 - pricy but I hear she's worth it.) Okay fine, the man was passively snobby but this is Beverly Hills so again, par for the course. However, when I asked him about other less invasive procedures, he told me I was too old and wouldn't give me any more information on them, cost or otherwise. When I asked him why (my research indicated I was well within the suitable age range) he flailed and couldn't answer the question. It was clear he knew nothing beyond the price list he was parroting. I understand he's not the doctor but that's exactly why he shouldn't be making medically based judgments on what cost information he will and will not release. Needless to say, this shook my confidence in her staff and it doesn't matter how good the doctor is, at her prices, the staff needs to be top notch too. Will be looking elsewhere. read more

Stay as far away from Dr. Catherine Chang's office as possible! The quality of care was terrible. The results minimal, horrendous bedside manner, upselling procedures to apparently help with the minimal result. Not taking responsibility. Proposed charging fees to remedy. Altering medical records once they realized I had filed a claim with the Medical Board of California. Inept staff taking months to answer phone calls and emails. Caught them in many lies in writing. All proven as I had a witness. Stay away! read more

I cannot give Dr Chang enough stars! She is such an incredible talent with an aesthetic eye and a gentle hand that created the most beautiful and natural work. I am 43 and one month out from a facelift, upper eye bleph and gland resectioning with Dr Chang and choosing her and her team was the best decision I've ever made. I look like a beautiful refreshed version of myself. She is such an incredible talent and her after care team (especially Susan) took the best care of me post surgery while I recovered. Again, I could give this doctor a million more stars. She is worth every penny and after a couple of plastic surgery experiences that weren't so great, her work in revising and making things perfect was absolute art. I am so thankful to have found her! read more

Dr. Chang was one of a handful of plastic surgeons I had a consultation with to inquire about a lower face and neck lift. She spent very little time discussing that procedure with me (risks, recovery, my expectations - all the things other plastic surgeons I've met with talked to me about). Instead, she focused on the additional procedures she thought I needed, totaling around $40,000 on top of the face and neck lift fee. One of her suggestions was upper eyelid surgery but when she tried to find an example of how I had "hooded eyelids" in my consultation photos she could not, and she told me that was because I must be raising my eyebrows all the time to overcompensate. I asked her approximately how many face/neck lifts she performed a year and her response was, "I did one yesterday." When I booked the consultation, I was told the $500 fee could be used towards any procedure. Since I didn't want to lose that money I asked the patient coordinator about botox. She quoted me a total price of $600 for the area I wanted. However, when I called Dr. Chang's office to schedule an appointment I was informed she charges a minimum of $1200 for botox. I waited over three months to see Dr. Chang and had high hopes for the consultation. I was disappointed in the outcome and left feeling much worse about myself than when I went in. read more

Dr Chang is the BEST ! I was searching for over a year to find a surgeon that I could feel safe with and a surgeon who was in the know of all the new technology . I am so happy with my results & excited to get other areas done . I'm older and wanted a natural look and that's what I got!! She is so caring and I truly felt so safe The results are Amazing . !! Upper eye lid surgery & CO 2 Lazor . I recovered, so so fast . Excited to do more! Love her ! read more

I've written less than a handful of reviews in my lifetime, but I feel Dr. Chang and her team deserve and earned some first hand recognition by a very happy patient. If anyone is having doubts or concerns about cosmetic surgery and selecting a doctor, I am writing this in hopes to provide some unincentivized clarity to those scanning reviews and Instagram (as I once did). As a beautiful woman herself, I feel Dr. Chang understands our insecurities and focuses on natural results. From day one, she and her team were beyond understanding and accommodating. I moved out of state and could have more easily went to a surgeon close by in NY, but I knew it would be worth the travel to continue with Dr Chang. I can honestly say I have zero regrets. Dr. Chang recommended her special Bijoux lift to help with my skin laxity and small chin implant. The recovery and post care was actually way less difficult than I expected. When I saw my results after one week, my jaw dropped. AMAZING! I could not believe how improved my jawline was. My heart shaped face from 10 years ago was back! Only a few weeks out and I feel so great! I also want to mention how much I loved and appreciate the pre surgical visit the day before the actual surgery with Dr Chang herself. I don't know many cosmetic surgeons who not only take the time to have a detailed initial consult, but then also meet with you one day before and the same day of the procedure. These additional pre op visits really put me at ease. It showed me how invested Dr Chang is in each and every patient. A quick shout out to one of her assistants Victoria. She was so responsive with any questions and concerns I had before and after the surgery. She gives a very detailed pre-op surgical call, and a direct messaging line to reach her. The entire process felt so organized and comfortable during a fairly nerve wracking and scary time from a patient's perspective. All the ladies at the office seem so genuine and knowledgeable. Truly, the entire team works so well together. Prive will be my place for any and everything cosmetic moving forward! read more

I have done so many procedures at Dr. Chang's office because I only trust her!!! From fillers to face PRP micro needling to PRP scalp micro needling. Everything is top notch! What impressed me most is PRP scalp micro needling. My initial experience with the PRP scalp micro needling treatment proved to be exceptional, thanks to Dr. Chang and his dedicated team. The outcome was noticeably superior, leading me to contemplate engaging in an additional one to two sessions, given the evident high-quality results already achieved. The professionalism exhibited by Dr. Chang and his entire staff, from the receptionist to the Nurse Practitioner, was unparalleled. Their hands-on approach and their unwavering commitment to patient care greatly enhanced the overall experience. Given the impressive outcome already evident from the initial treatment, I fully intend to pursue an additional one to two sessions. Thank you Dr. Chang and the team! read more

Dr. Chang is absolutely amazing! I can't say enough about her work, her bedside manner and her follow up. She sets the bar way high. She delivers natural results and I was most impressed with the lack of bruising and healing time. She's the best! She's kind, genuine and beautiful as well! And a boss in the surgery room! I recommend her for all of your beauty/surgery needs! read more

I'm so thrilled with Dr Chang and my surgery. I almost never write Yelp reviews but am so happy that I wanted to write one. I was very nervous about surgery even before covid. During covid, my anxiety about surgery was off the charts. Dr. Chang is the sweetest , kindest person. AND a FABULOUS doctor. I met with 5 or 6 surgeons before Dr. Chang. All top notch doctors, and really nice people. I just didn't LOVE them for the surgery. From the first meeting with Dr. Chang, I knew if I was going to do the surgery, it would be with her. Whenever I was in her presence, I felt so relaxed. Whatever fears I had (and believe me the list of fears was long and excessive... even before covid), just went away when I was with her. She even met with me the day before surgery just as a calming thing for me. I've had surgeries before where I was so nervous that I cancelled the day of surgery. So to do this surgery, with out my friends and family bc of covid, was probably one of the top 10 most nerve racking things I've ever done as an adult. I still questioned whether I would end up following through the day of. Going under is extremely scary for me, because I was traumatized by a bad Anesthesia experience as a kid. Her OR staff was beyond amazing. I'm still in shock that I hopped up on the table and was like ok when do we start?! My results are phenomenal. I really worried would I regret it? It was something I needed medically and wanted cosmetically, but fear of the unknown is pretty powerful. I'm in love with the results. My only regret is not doing it sooner. read more

I am 11 days out of a neck, deep plane lift and upper eye lift. I could not be happier and more excited to share my experience. Dr. Chang is a master at her craft. She is immaculate with her words and actions and I have never felt better about any cosmetic decision. Her staff are professional as well as comforting. I am proud of myself to finally have this procedure and even more proud of committing to becoming one of Dr. Chang's patients. This is one of the best things I have ever done. I recommend anyone interested in cosmetic enhancement to visit Dr. Chang. She is a supernova of a surgeon. Thank you read more

Dr. Chang is a truly gifted bio sculptural restoration artist. The woman has Angels at the tips of her fingers. I was first impressed with the work she did on a friend and immediately made a consultation appointment. What sold me were the before and after photo's of the other women. I am now a truly more confident woman who looks NATURALLY years younger. I feel so much better, I look so much better. read more

I cannot say enough good about Dr Chang and her staff of lovely ladies! Dr Chang performed a facelift, upper/lower bleph, platysmaplasty, fat transfer and CO2 laser as part of my customized procedure. My husband & I did months of research to help narrow down who we thought was the best fit for the surgery. It's a decision not to be taken lightly! We chose wisely!!! The attention to detail was incredible & 8 weeks post op, I'm looking improved daily with a very natural "better version of myself" result. Not only am I super happy with my outcome..I'm so appreciative of the attention I received before & after surgery. That part is sometimes overlooked but in my opinion is a critical step in your recovery process. It's a lot of time selecting, investment made & trust given to one person so important to feel taken care of along the way. I feel SO cared for...and have gained new found confidence in myself. You can't put a price tag on that! Thanks Dr Chang, Tania, Yvette & Desiree Love you guys read more

I had a neck and lower facelift by Dr Chang 3 1/2 months ago. I expressed that I wanted to look natural and like myself, just a bit more pulled together. She listened and did amazing work. I am so impressed with her surgical skills and artistry. No visible scars around the front of my ears. My recovery was beyond what I expected. Post op was a breeze. So easy if you follow her protocols. Dr Chang's team is incredible. Tania is always available and great support. I am so happy with my results and happily recommend Dr Chang and her team. read more

I have never written a review in my life but I really wanted to for this. I had surgery a little over 2 weeks ago with Dr Chang. She did a face lift, neck lift, lateral brow lift, upper and lower eyes and mini fat transfer plus an old chin implant removed and replaced with a new custom one. I cannot begin to express how ecstatic I am with my results so far and I know this is such early days and it will only continue to get better and better as the days and weeks go on. Every single thing about my experience with Dr Chang and her entire team was flawless. They made it all so easy and so seamless for me. Including my aftercare with hyperbaric chamber appts and nurse care and recommending an amazing lymphatic drainage masseuse to help with my healing. Dr Chang is truly a rare talent and such a calm and beautiful energy. She's so smart it's crazy and her eye and aesthetic is on point. My biggest concern was that I didn't want to look done or like someone else. I wanted to look like me but refreshed and younger and natural. That's exactly what she achieved for me. I am 47 which is probably on the younger side for a face lift but for me it was the perfect time to do it. I met with 7 surgeons in the Beverly Hills and Los Angeles area and once I met Catt Chang, I knew instantly she was the one. I felt so calm on the morning of the surgery. I felt zero pain. I didn't even take one pain killer the entire recovery. Only Tylenol! Considering all I had done... that's pretty incredible. Also my incisions are pretty much invisible already and they're so precise and neat and perfectly done. Dr Chang, Yvette , Kristiana, and Victoria. Thank you all so much for truly making me feel and look my best self and for taking such great care of me. You answered all of my questions and I never felt any anxiety or worry because you all just took care of everything and I didn't really have to worry about anything. Just follow Dr Chang's protocols and leave the rest to her and you will be so happy! I would never ever let anyone else touch my face. Ever . read more

Dr. Chang is a gifted surgeon, and just as important, a genuinely nice person. I'm thrilled with the procedures she performed. I look totally natural and 20 (OK, maybe 15) years younger. I always felt heard and supported by Dr. Chang and her incredible team, from the initial interviews to post-surgical care. My concerns were always addressed thoughtfully and patiently, and I felt comfortable asking questions and requesting help, no matter how minor the issue. I knew the moment I met Dr. Chang that I could trust her. She is caring, attentive, skillful, truthful, and delivers the results she promised. read more

I had my surgery last year in March with Dr. Chang. IN LOVE with my results! She listened to exactly what I wanted and was attentive to every detail. I would recommend anyone to her. I feel SNATCHED! read more

I couldn't have chosen a better doctor than Dr. Catherine Chang. Out of all surgeons I interviewed, I chose Dr. Catherine Chang and THANK GOD I did. I sincerely feel that if I had gone with anyone less passionate, creative and experienced with revision surgury I would've be sitting here feeling and looking as good as I do right right now. I feel so so lucky to have been able to work with her. Let me explain: I suffered a serious assault in my early 20's that required a number of facial procedures to repair the damage to my mid-face. My surgeon at the time repaired the tip and set the bridge - letting me know that due to the trauma to the tissues and bone I needed to let the nose heal for a few years before considering any other surgical intervention for cosmetic reasons. It was pretty bad, but I did my part letting myself heal and moving on with my life. I was left with a bulbous nose tip and a slightly twisted septum. And even though I was unhappy with my repaired nose's cosmetic appearance "looks aren't everything", everyone told me, "you're lucky to be alive." Flash forward to six years ago-- I'm stuck by an out of control truck on the 5 going into work one more rainy LA morning. Waking up, I've got a concussion, a real nasty case of whiplash and my septum has broke AGAIN, after having it set it heals again this time even MORE skewed to the left than before. Once again, heal, be grateful, move on. What I didn't know was how much that ill healed septum was blocking my airflow. I had no idea how much it was affecting my ability to concentrate and sleep through the night. Turns outs, it had A LOT to do with it. Thanks to the inherited attitude of "looks aren't everything and your lucky to be alive" I didn't consider another surgury to repair the damage for six years-- finally I came to a breaking point when I noticed my right nostril (the side I could still breath out of) had started to collapse, closing up each time I inhaled. Oh boy. Dr. Change inspired the confidence I needed to take the plunge and commit to another surgury. First, Dr. Change put me at ease as a person, she's so easy to talk to and it's obvious when you talk to her indepth that she LOVES what she does. It's not just a paycheck for her-- it's a joy. THAT'S the kind of surgeon. I remember thinking to myself after my consult: I want someone with that level of passion for her craft working on me. She's an artist with a passion for the process. Second she literally WROTE a chapter in the book on facial surgury and taught facial surgury at her alma mater Harvard. I felt SO confident when we started to talk about the asethetics of my "new" nose I told her: I trust you, your an artist and an expert, give me the most beautiful nose that will best suit my face. THAT'S crazy trust-- and I don't trust easily. I can tell you from my experience you can absolutely trust Dr. Chang to steer you right. Through the entire process from consult to three months after my (very successful) surgury Dr. Chang and her team have been available to me, making me feel supported every step. My recovery was surprisingly easy (thanks to being well prepared by Dr. Chang for what to expect, getting my post-op supplies in advance and following all of the easy to understand pre-and post-op intructions she gave me-- and BIOTENE for the dry mouth-- seriously, get two bottles before your surgury. Dry mouth was my only post surgury struggle and swishing with biotene takes care of it by coating the inside of your mouth making all that post-op mouth breathing comfortable). Once the wonkiness that comes with being under anesthesia wore off (around day three) I was back to feeling like myself, and I was able to work at my laptop by the sixth day post op. Rest, hydrate, be patient with yours body as it heals and all will be well. I sit here today 3 1/2 months post-op SO SO HAPPY with my results so far-- as with all revision rhinoplasty I'll still be swollen for a few more months but the improvement is already visible. My septum is straight, I can BREATH again, I'm sleeping through the night, my ability to focus has returned, and despite all the swelling I LOVE how I look now. I mean, I feel so blessed to have had her as my surgeon-- I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone interested in a revision surgury. read more

Dr Chang and Prive came highly recommended through a friend of a friend ... I was told she is the best in Beverly Hills and that she is "the doctor's doctor". At our first appointment, I was immediately impressed with her staff and office. Everyone was calm, kind and helpful and Dr Chang is one of the cutest and sweetest doctors I've ever had. For me, surgery was a complicated decision to wrap my mind around, and I went from "do I really need this?" to "should I do this to my body?". I did lots of soul searching and therapy to be clear I was going to be ok with my decision. I was taking it seriously but what really helped was that I could tell Dr Chang my concerns, and she also took them seriously. She makes sure all details are covered with the utmost of attention.I was willing to travel far from my home to work with Prive because I wanted the best and that is what I got. My surgery was a total success, healing was not painful, maybe just awkward and uncomfortable for a few days. I did 7 days of hyperbaric, didn't really mind drinking meals through a big straw - I made stewed fruits added to protein smoothies (not too cold), and Thai chicken curry was the most satisfying to me. The after care nurses were awesome, I had them for an extra day or more even though my helper friend who was with me was more than able to care for me. No one notices that I've had anything done, my closest friends say I just look like me but fresher. My regular medical doctors are super impressed with the work, hairdressers are SHOCKED, they've said they'd never know I had anything done because I am mostly scarless. I had face, neck, eyebrow, co2. Thank you forever to Dr Chang and Prive! read more

Dr. Chang is AMAZING. I'd had incredibly severe breathing issues my whole life--I'm talking sinus headaches, blurry vision, absolutely *no* airflow through one side of my nose--all from an extremely deviated septum. On top of everything else, the septum issue created a huge bump in my nose that proved to be very problematic for my career as a performer. As a woman of color, finding a doctor who could improve my quality of life, adjust my profile, but simultaneously honor my heritage and my ethnicity was a terrifying thought. I wanted to solve my problem, but I wanted to come out looking like me. I was overwhelmed by the fear of not being heard--as I'd had many other experiences where my dignity as a patient was clearly not the priority. Enter: Dr. Catherine Chang. She is the most intelligent, most capable, most *loving* surgeon. She is with you, on your side, through every step of the process. She listens to every concern and maps out a comprehensive strategy without missing a single detail. Your satisfaction, your comfort, your improved sense of self, and your feeling of empowerment are all at the center of her absolute focus. There really are no words to describe just how much she has changed my life; but I promise you: if you choose to work with her, Dr. Chang will absolutely change yours, too. read more

Loved working with Dr. Chang. Did a major redo - breasts, tummy, hernia, diastase....as much as could be done in one surgery! So happy with the results and follow ups. Dr. Chang and nurses reply promptly when I had questions, always made me feel great about my body while remaining honest about what to expect with surgery. Office fully supportive too!! Would definitely recommend. read more

I did the CO2 laser resurfacing on my face with Dr Chang. I loved the results. It was everything she said it would be and more. I could not recommend Dr Chang enough as she is a kind, trustworthy and beautiful woman working in an inspiring environment with other intelligent and inspiring women. I will trust them with any work I do in the future. read more

She's ok, not much difference and some parts worse after surgery. My unrealistic expectations per dr. because 16 mos later, I'm not patient enough to see desired results? If you're in your 40s, she's fine, if over 60, I'd recommend someone with more experience. Very sweet person and staff. read more

Dr. Chang and her staff couldn't have been more amazing! I was very, very nervous to have a neck lift and eyelift. Luckily, my very good friend had used Dr. Chang and I was able to see firsthand her experience before I went in. Her healing was nothing short of amazing, minimal bruising and truly no pain! Dr. Chang is highly educated, triple Ivy League. Her techniques are up to date and state of the art. You get a very different experience with her. She is gentle in surgery therefore you experience minimal bruising and in my case NO pain. Her team of nurses are on call 24/7 before and & after. Dr. Chang enforces a strict regime before and after surgery to ensure optimal healing, I followed her instructions to a tee and it is very thorough. Her team arranges everything for you from medicines to post surgery recovery, nurses, transport, etc. In addition, Dr. Chang strongly suggests you do Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments immediately post surgery, her office arranges it all for you. It is a true game changer as your body is flooded with pure oxygen and your healing time is greatly reduced! My results one week post surgery were nothing short of miraculous. Dr. Chang is known for very natural results and I truly look years younger and refreshed now just 3 weeks out. Most importantly I do not look different or like I had plastic surgery. Dr. Chang is a very dedicated and brilliant young Surgeon. read more

Dr. Chang did the most amazing job on my face. I had some work done. Not only does Dr. Chang know her surgical technique but she's also an artist with an eye for beauty, which makes her not just unique, but the best. read more

I wish there were more stars available. WOW. WOW. WOW. Dr Chang is a true genius and superhuman. She is not only incredibly warm and approachable, but her skills are unparalleled. I got the bijoux lift and was terrified because I had very little that needed to be done (at 34) and was worried that I would end up looking fake or with skin that was overly pulled back. I also had a lot of outside people telling me I was crazy for doing a procedure at my age, but Dr Chang created the Bijoux Lift specifically for people like me who want to address first signs of aging. I'm one month out and I look like myself, but more refreshed, well-rested and vibrant like I did in my 20's. She listened to everything I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. She's extremely detail-oriented and no stone--or stitch ;)-- is left unturned. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, she's the one. I can't stop telling everyone about her and will continue to go to her for years to come. I'm just over the moon happy! read more

I'm 35 and had an upper blepharoplasty and bijoux lift with Dr. Chang in October. It's now a full six months post op and I just saw my before and after photos. I'm stunned. Beyond stunned, I'm shocked. I look SO MUCH BETTER but in the most subtle, natural, refreshed way, so much so that I didn't even really notice the difference myself until I saw the pictures. This is a gift - I look like myself, only younger and prettier. For years I'd played with filler, which was expensive, temporary and delivered nothing close to the results I see from my surgical procedures with Dr. Chang. On a personal note, Dr. Chang is so charming and sweet, her office is chill and I've never waited longer than ten minutes for my appointment (a vast difference from some of the other popular LA plastic surgeons I've been to where I kid you not I've waited three to four hours for my appointment) and most importantly, she's a highly skilled artist. I will be seeing Dr. Chang for tweaks and graceful aging adjustments for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Dr. Chang you are an absolute genius angel! -- read more

Dr. Catherine Chang changed my life. At 43, I, unfortunately, had aged prematurely in my lower face and neck and was so unhappy with my changing appearance. I had met with a couple of other surgeons but was too scared to trust them with such a big surgery. After a 30 minute consultation and seeing examples of her beautiful work I booked a lower facelift and neck lift without one ounce of hesitation. She is a true artist and I trusted her expertise immediately. It is now almost a year later and I feel so happy every time I look in the mirror! Many of my friends have scheduled consultations with Dr. Chang based on my results and cannot believe how refreshed and natural I look. My hairdresser commented on my incisions 8 weeks after my surgery saying they were the most meticulous and well-hidden he had ever seen! Even he got her number! Also, after my surgery, Dr. Chang and her staff were so attentive and I felt beyond taken care of. Day or night they were there for me. I loved my results so much I booked the rhinoplasty I had always thought about with her 10 months later and once again the results are incredible! I am in awe at how natural Dr. Chang's results are and how I still look like myself, only better! My recent treatment was Morpheus8 and I am loving how great my skin is looking. Not only is Dr. Chang professionally incredible but she is also cool and sweet as can be and every office visit is a joy. I am so grateful I found Dr. Catherine Chang! read more

Age/Sex: 36/M Month of surgery: 06/2020 After having researched what ended up being literally dozens of surgeons using a multitude of resources, including Google, Vitals, RealSelf, Instagram, etc., I decided to contact Dr. Chang after having viewed the impressive results of her work and seeing her approach and disposition in an Instagram Live she did with "beautybroker", i.e. Melinda Farina. (I'd recommend following both Dr. Chang and beautybroker on Instagram.) Due to COVID-19, our initial contact was made during a Facetime call. Simply put, Dr. Chang displayed all of those traits you wish and hope for in someone to whom you are trusting your face: She was direct, honest, extremely knowledgeable, warm, understanding, approachable, and, most importantly, genuine. Furthermore, Dr. Chang is one of those rare individuals for whom that unique combination of artistic eye and scientific aptitude are both abundant and thus able to be drawn upon in equal parts throughout the surgical decision making process. My area of concern was primarily the chin, as it seemed weak and recessed and did not align with the lower lip in the vertical plane. After assessing my facial features and degree of harmonization, Dr. Chang concluded that a combination of chin implant (5 mm), platysmaplasty, neck and jawline liposuction, and fat transfer from the lower abdomen to the upper cheeks would provide the best results. Surgery day was smooth and without incident. Post-surgery was also fairly straightforward. There was certainly swelling, but overall there was minimal pain and discomfort. You will be numb, the compression band you have to wear around your head is inconvenient, and your smile will be "off" for 3-4 weeks, but I was soon able to return to work (COVID required masks helped!) and thus resume normal activities fairly quickly. The primary feedback I received from close acquaintances who did not know of the surgery was an inquiry into whether I recently lost weight. Those who did know I had surgery, but not the nature of the surgery, said I looked better and that something was different, but they couldn't identify explicitly what that difference once. This seems to me the ideal result - looking like a better version of myself, with results that are natural and subtle, yet powerful with the end result being a harmonization of facial proportions and overall aesthetics. I am beyond pleased with the results, and could not recommend Dr. Chang and her staff in any greater capacity than I already do. It is always a pleasure seeing her during each of my follow up visits, and I have already inquired with her regarding future work - and it is this wish to continue working with her that, I feel, speaks the most regarding my appreciation for, and respect of, her work. read more

Excellent surgeon! Love the natural results of my facelift. From consult, to day of, to followup it has been a great experience. Dr.Chang is a highly skilled artist of a plastic surgeon. She is also kind and warm and really cares. I would not go to any other plastic surgeon, so happy that I found Dr.Chang. read more

I'm so grateful to have found Dr. Chang. She is such a talent as well as lovely person who gave me amazing results. I couldn't recommend her enough. Do whatever procedure she suggests...she won't steer you wrong. You'll be in great hands. read more

Making the decision to have cosmetic surgery is a deeply personal one. You need your physician to understand your goals and explain your options clearly and realistically. Dr. Catherine Chang and her staff not only did that, but post-surgically, cared for me and helped me to navigate my self-care to achieve the best results possible. I felt completely supported and looked after is a way that those with a true interest in your recovery, health and happiness do! Dr. Chang is a stellar surgeon and a wonderful healthcare advocate. I am entirely happy with my surgery and post-op care. Highly recommend!! read more

Dr. Chang is the best!! I've been getting preventative botox with Dr. Chang for the past 6 months. She has the lightest touch and has never given me a bruise (I've gotten bruises around my eyes from all other injectors). She is so kind and answered all of my questions. I have complete confidence in her abilities and can not recommend her enough! read more

I never thought I would get a facelift (but at some point fillers and botox just don't have the impact and natural results they once did), so three months ago Dr. Chang did my lower face and upper lids. Needless to say it can be a scary, daunting experience to undergo surgery. However, the entire experience: pre and post op were amazing. I found absolute comfort in Dr. Chang, the entire staff, and the experience as a whole. Everyone at the practice, while very professional are also very friendly and approachable. No question or concern was too little. I am beyond pleased with the results. I'm so happy I went with her suggestions for my face. Dr. Chang's suggestions felt genuine and never pushy. She took into account me as a person and my look when she made suggestions that were appropriate for my skin type, age and a natural appearance. She has an eye for detail and hands for the smallest stitches I have ever seen. I can't rave enough about the lack of any visible of scarring. I was in public, wearing my hair pulled back fairly soon after surgery. Friends who knew I had this done loved the results and said how natural and refreshed I looked. I never felt self-consciences in front of people who knew me well, but didn't know I had work done. It all looks like a natural rejuvenation.
