Very caring. Clear instructions. Skill is great. Answer questions patiently and give patient enough time to explain the procedures

Dr. Charles Tseng of UCLA Health is an exceptional plastic surgeon and a truly compassionate professional. Throughout my breast cancer journey, he performed over five reconstructive surgeries over three years, each with remarkable precision, care, and dedication. His expertise, paired with the high standards of UCLA Health, gave me confidence and comfort during every step of the process. From our very first meeting, Dr. Tseng treated me with empathy and respect, taking the time to explain every procedure thoroughly and ensuring I felt heard and supported. His calm demeanor and reassuring presence brought peace during one of the most difficult times in my life. Dr. Tseng's skillful hands and kind heart played a vital role in my healing--both physically and emotionally. I am beyond grateful for the outstanding care he provided and feel incredibly fortunate to have had him and the UCLA Health team by my side throughout this journey. Anyone would be so lucky to have you as their plastic surgeon. Thank you Dr. Tseng! You rock! C. Garcia read more

Incredibly talented, empathetic, knowledgeable doctor. It is hard to put into words how I feel about Dr. Tseng because there are no words powerful enough to express my gratitude for what he's done for me in the last couple of months since my Breast Cancer diagnosis. I was referred to Dr. Tseng by my Oncologist. My husband and I met him 2 weeks before my double mastectomy I automatically knew he was the perfect doctor for my reconstruction, he answered all of our questions and concerns in detail and was very thorough with the entire process and expectations. The big day came 08/03 I was nervous about the procedure he came to talk to us and prepped me for surgery, he was courteous and showed empathy. Fast fwd. to my replacement surgery 10/26 3 months after my DMS my boobs are wonderful and glorious no bruising and minimal pain, he is truly and artist. I can't thank him enough for turning a tragedy into something beautiful, he definitely helped me get my confidence back something I was sure was gone after loosing my breast to Cancer. 10/10 I highly recommend Dr. Tseng for breast reconstruction! read more

Dr. Tseng is an excellent breast reconstruction surgeon. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was referred to the UCLA Women's Breast Center where patients are provided with a comprehensive visit with an oncologist, radiologist, oncology surgeon, plastic surgeon and social worker. Dr. Tseng went through all the options given my diagnosis and answered all my questions. When I chose to have a mastectomy and reconstruction, he met with me more than once (at my request because I had a lot of questions) and referred me to other specialists to help me feel comfortable that all of my health conditions would be managed during this big surgery (he set me up with anesthesia to manage my type 1 diabetes and help develop a plan for my oxycodone allergy). He was also flexible and adjusted to the recommendation for my diabetes management during surgery -which I really appreciated. It was a tough surgery, but he and his team were attentive and responsive. He is supported by an awesome assistant, Analy, who answered a lot of my questions, helped me with disability insurance and came in to see me at all of my visits with him to make sure i was good to go. While in the hospital, he came to see me, as did his team of residents each day. My surgery is supposed to be a multi-stage, but I look so good after just the 1 surgery, I don't know that I need anything else! I look fantastic! I'm about a cup smaller, had no complications and feel really good a month out of surgery. Other things I will comment on is that he's friendly and easy to speak with. He and his team work well together and I felt well-cared for. read more

Update: Dr. Tseng performed nipple reconstruction on me three weeks ago, and I am blown away by how natural my breasts look. After the stress of everything I have gone through, my mental health has been helped so much by feeling like I look better than I did before. I cannot recommend Dr. Tseng enough. read more

After interviewing 8 Surgeons up and down California to potentially perform my DIEP Flap breast reconstruction, I decided to go with Dr. Tseng not only for his solid reputation and educational/professional background but because of his kind and calming demeanor. Dr. Tseng exudes a quiet confidence without being pretentious. He's patient and easy to talk with. I have not regretted my decision since. Dr. Tseng was able to restore what cancer took away. I was astounded by his work - the right balance of science and art. He is meticulous. And, I like my new foobs better than before. Through his work, Dr. Tseng also restored my sense of self and confidence. I am forever grateful to Dr. Tseng. He is the silver lining in all this breast cancer madness. read more

I am very happy with my results for a saline implant breast augmentation! I was looking for something very natural, and Dr. Tseng very much fulfilled this. My healing process was very smooth and easy- within a few days I was off pain medication and feeling good. I definitely recommend Dr. Tseng! read more

Dr Tseng did my Diep mastectomy and I am so happy I went to him. He is extremely talented. I wouldn't have been so upset when I found out I needed a mastectomy if I had known how good it would look. He is like an artist. He is great at communicating what he will do and the outcome. I couldn't be happier. Thank you for your excellent work. I highly recommend him!l! read more

DR Tseng is extremely kind, caring, he listens and hears what you say and want, he made me feel safe all the way from my radical bilateral mastectomy to my finish reconstructed chest wall and breasts. The journey with him through out my 4 surgeries felt safe and comfortable I did not have to worry. He helped make what I had the idea I needed and I look so natural. I feel In my life him and his office have had a major impact on helping me heal through my cancer removal to recovery and being rebuilt into a non deformed person. I feel he is one of the few people who improved my life forever along with the support from his staff. I was very lucky my other Doctor mentioned his name as one that people love because I did ask who was popular. I was beyond blessed and am forever grateful. read more

Hi all, Just want to share my experience with you. I had a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction done by Dr. Tseng on July 7, 2021. My experience with his office and staff was great. Everyone has been courteous and helpful. Fast informative responses. Danica his assistant is amazing! She's extremely nice, very knowledgeable, and on top of it! They are a great team! Dr. Tseng is an amazing, talented plastic surgeon. He went above and beyond to make sure my surgery was a success!! He is very informative, caring and such a sweet soul. His work speaks for itself. I am so happy that I did research and found him. I live in Fresno and traveled to Santa Monica to meet him, best decision ever! Thank you Dr.Tseng! read more

Dr. Tseng was recommended by my GP. When I called his office and asked if he has any photos showing his work, I was told that he doesn't. I was nervous moving forward with the procedure, with little to no information about him. He was upfront with me from the get-go, telling me that he is not sure what the condition of my tissues would be and that he would only know, once he cuts me open. I really didn't know what to expect, but decided to trust my GP's recommendation. Needless to say, I was thrilled with the outcome. Dr. Tseng is a true artist of the woman's body. I can't speak for any other specialties of Dr. Tseng, but if you need to reconstruct your breast, Dr. Tseng is your doctor. read more

2-year update - the scarring emerged at about 9 months after the procedure but he treated it and it flattened out.

I really hate having to do this, because I thought I'd found my plastic surgeon in Dr. Tseng, but I unfortunately had to find a new surgeon because the level of care I received when one of my tissue expanders began leaking, was less than stellar. I had to have one of my expanders significantly deflated for radiation, and because of which (I later found out from my new surgeon that expanders often rupture when they have been deflated then re-inflated), a tear in that expander occurred upon re-inflation, meaning that the saline would not stay in the expander for more than two weeks at a time. I called Dr. Tseng's attention to this, and the only solution he had was to keep inflating the ruptured expander. He wasn't concerned about my skin and muscle not stretching like it was supposed to, he actually wasn't concerned in the slightest. I flat out asked him how the situation could be rectified, and he simply said "there's nothing that can be done." I later found out that wasn't the case, he just didn't want to do another procedure or at least put together a plan for regular fills to fix it. The final straw was when I called and left a very detailed message with his patient coordinator, Danica, one evening when the problem expander was causing a TON of pain, making it hard to drive home from work. It was well after 6p, so I figured I'd just hear back the next day with Dr. Tseng's recommendation for pain relief. NOTHING.She never returned my call. I sent her an email as well. STILL NOTHING. I was a CASH paying patient last year, as I had no insurance. So this treatment, which may have been BECAUSE I didn't have any insurance, was especially insulting. UPDATE: My new plastic surgeon took video footage of the expander after she removed it to see what happened, and lo and behold, Dr. Tseng actually popped my expander during the re-inflation process. There was a needle sized hole in the expander, near the port. So, he actually created the problem, then gave me the Kanye Shrug afterwards. read more

My first surgery with Dr. Tseng was in July 2019. I'm a five year breast cancer survivor. After a double mastectomy and several deformed implants, I wanted to have them removed and replaced with a DIEP surgery. I interviewed more doctors than I can count. The moment I met Dr Tseng, I felt it. He was the one. I could not be happier with the results of my DIEP with Dr Tseng. I had no complications, he was in contact with my family throughout my surgeries, and the aesthetics are more than I could of imagined. Not only did Dr Tseng exceed my expectations, but his surgical coordinator, Danica, is amazing as well. She stays in constant communication and is extremely knowledgeable. I could not have asked for a better team. read more

Dr Tseng peformed a tummy tuck and a boob job on me about 2 months ago. The BOOBs: are wonderful and glorious. He cut the scars out from my previous jacked up boob job, increased the cc'es from 240 to 415 and made them look all perfect like beautiful tear drops. Can't even see a scar now. VERY HAPPY WITH THE BOOB JOB!!! :-). And the recovery was so EASY. My boob's barely even hurt. The TUMMY TUCK: I basically pad 20K for them to put a scar all the way across my stomach. Not happy. The drain tube leaked and came un-sewed on day one. I immediatly messaged them to see what I should do. When the thing was leaking it got the thread wet and broke the thread and thus since the top thread broke the bottom one was the only one holding the tube into me and was pulling my stomach skin into the threading. Worst pain ever. Very painful! Nobody bothered messaging me back so I could barely move for two days in pain. When I finally realized that nobody was going to care, I had to cut the thing lose and pull it out myself. That's how the world works folks. Thank you and have a nice day. We live in a world full of hate and sin and evil. Liars with no morals or values. I've seen it all my life. BUT.....I will give him props for a good boob job. I would not recommend for a tummy tuck under any circumstances. Very unhappy with my even worse belly. BLOWS!~ read more

I got my breast reduction surgery because I suffered from upper back pain due to Size DDD breasts on my 4'11 body. After surgery, I ended up with DD on one side and D on the other. I don't want to go back to DR. Tseng since I don't trust his ability to fix the problem. Now I am suffering from severely uneven look on my chest. read more

Dr. Tseng performed my breast reduction surgery on March 26, 2019 and he did an exceptional job! He's equal parts surgeon and artist. I've had no complications and I've been healing up very nicely. My scarring has been minimal thus far and I've had zero pain. That said, I have been sore, very sore, but considering all that was done, that's completely normal. I look balanced and proportionate and truly couldn't be happier with the results! Update: July 23, 2019 - I'm nearly 4 months post-op and am 100% back to all my normal routines, actually have been for a couple months now. I feel great and everything still looks good. My scarring will be moderate, at worst, but that's not of concern to me. I have some minor numbness in a small portion of both breasts, but Dr. Tseng told me that that could take a very long time to go away, if at all. Again, not a major concern and all part of the process. I'm still very pleased with my decision to move forward with the surgery and for selecting Dr. Tseng. read more

Dr. Tseng is AMAZING!!! I recently was diagnosed with breast cancer again and chose to have a mastectomy with reconstruction. My breast surgeon recommended Dr. Tseng to perform the DIEP flap and reconstruction. Dr. Tseng took his time and answered ALL of my questions in person and when I reached out to him via messages in the patient portal. And to ensure I fully understood the procedure and could share the information with my family, he sent me a video of him explaining his work step by step and in great detail. Because of his patience, knowledge, and confidence in his work, I decided to proceed with him. His bedside manners are impeccable! During recovery, he came in to see me. I asked him if he would be stopping by again or if this were the last time I would see him while in the hospital. He said this was it. I know he's a busy man with many patients to tend to, so I wasn't upset. A few days later, he visited me BEFORE his early morning surgery! He has no idea how much that impacted me! At that moment, I felt like a person being seen and heard. He let me know right then how much he cares for his patients. I am not sure if you read these reviews, but Dr. Tseng, I can't thank you enough! I am so happy with my new breast and tummy tuck (so is my husband, by the way). Dr. Tseng was the BEST recommendation ever! I highly recommend Dr. Tseng...he is the BEST! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Tseng, his scheduler Danica, and his entire staff. I consulted with several PS's after having a double mastectomy with implants, using another OC surgeon who should have never given me the options he did.........Dr. Tseng 'fixed' me and after an 11 hour surgery, I finally felt whole again. I still have a few touch up surgeries to go, but I go in with confidence that Dr. Tseng will do his magic once again. At 60 years old, breast cancer survivor of 12 years, BRCA2+, I'm so glad to have taken Dr. Tseng with me on this journey!!! read more

Dr. Tseng has been my surgeon for a couple months and it's been a positive experience. During our first appointment, he went through a presentation outlining different options with images showing results. It helped me visualize and process everything during an overwhelming time. I feel comfortable to verbalize what my questions/concerns are and he makes himself available to answer and provide his professional opinion on what is realistic. The UCLA Health network is great and everyone in Dr. Tseng's office is extremely nice and helpful from check-in, to Danica (his surgical coordinator), to Dr. Tseng himself. There's comfort in knowing you have a good team looking after you along the way. read more

Incredibly talented, empathetic, knowledgeable doctor. It is hard to put into words how I feel about Dr. Tseng because there are no words powerful enough to express my gratitude. (Warning - long review ahead. For me, long medical reviews were the most helpful so here you go.) I was diagnosed with breast cancer Dec. 2019 and had a double mastectomy in Feb. 2020 (by Dr. Maggie DiNome). Dr. Tseng managed my reconstruction. During our first meeting, he reviewed in detail using a PowerPoint presentation, my options. This helped me visualize the process, understand what to expect and put me at ease after I saw the true artist Dr. Tseng is. Honestly, I expected to have botched breasts the rest of my life after having a double mastectomy. I had seen way too many terrible reconstruction pictures pre-surgery. With Dr. Tseng's talent, I have beautiful new breasts. I didn't need any fat grafting, which another doctor told me I would. Because of his expert guidance after he took time to learn about my lifestyle, I have over-the-muscle silicone implants and they look great! I still have to get used to them emotionally but physically they look better than I imagined. During my recovery after my double mastectomy, I experienced a hematoma, which of course was not expected, especially since it happened two weeks post-surgery (very rare). It occurred round 5pm so I needed to contact Dr. Tseng's after-hours line. Dr. Tseng's resident consulted with him and together they recommended I go to the hospital. On my way to the hospital, Dr. Tseng personally called to check in on me. That level of care goes a long way and eased a lot of my anxiety. He took time to explain what was happening and that I was going to need surgery. Once at the hospital, it was very disorganized and the hospital admissions didn't understand what needed to happen with me. What I needed was to be admitted so I could have surgery with Dr. Tseng the next day. As my husband worked with Dr. Tseng's resident, I called Dr. Tseng. I wish I had his resident's name to give her a well-deserved shout out. We had been texting her earlier in the evening to share pictures and updates so we had a contact number for her. Despite her being done with her shift, she continued to offer assistance even at 10pm after a long shift! I explained to Dr. Tseng how unhelpful and confused the hospital admissions team was and he was not pleased with their lack of empathy and care. He worked his magic and soon after my call with him I was admitted. Dr. Tseng checked on me the next morning. He had a surgery already scheduled that day so since my status wasn't threatening, my surgery followed. During surgery, he was able to quickly find the source of the bleeding and fix the hematoma. This was a scary experience but Dr. Tseng made it easier, helped me understand my situation, and calmed my nerves. Press fast forward. I saw Dr. Tseng the same day I found out I was going to need chemo for a follow-up visit. This was a big shock for me because of my initial stage 0 status. I was very emotional and he took time to actively listen to me. We chatted about chemo and he offered me words of encouragement that I held onto during my treatment. I have completed 3 surgeries with Dr. Tseng: 1) reconstruction 2) hematoma 3) implant exchange. I am still considering my 4th (nipple reconstruction), but honestly, I'm feeling surgery fatigue and have postponed. The only reason I'm even considering this surgery is because of Dr. Tseng and his talent and level of care. Prior to my first surgery, I had visited the dermatologist and learned I needed 3 moles removed. I spoke to Dr. Tseng about it and he offered to do it for me while I was already under anesthesia. That was so helpful! I will have my port in for a year and will be ready to remove it in April 2021. I will work with Dr. Tseng for that too because the doctor who installed the port did a terrible job closing. While talking about Dr. Tseng, it would be remiss of me to not mention his coordinator, Danica. She is kind, very responsive, organized, knowledgeable and patient. She makes everything easier on the patient. I appreciate how she would take time to talk with me and put me at ease by answering all of my questions, handling my LOA from work and staying on top of all my appointments. She is a true gem! Dr. Tseng turned a tragic and very emotional journey into something that was manageable with amazing outcomes. He truly cares for his patients. He chose reconstruction as his emphasis because he wants to help women, who have already endured so much, feel confident and make a positive difference in their lives. He successfully has done that for me. I will forever be grateful for him - not only for his talent and expertise but for his genuine care and concern for my wellbeing. He is a one-of-a-kind doctor and a real gift to the medical profession. Thank you, Dr. Tseng! I will always cherish you. read more

In 2022, I had a double masectomy, DIEP flap surgery and nipple reconstruction. Dr. Tseng's experience and attention to detail definitely showed in the results. Minimal bruising and very natural results... even the recovery felt like it went smoothly. I would highly recommend Dr. Tseng to anyone going through breast cancer reconstruction! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Charles Tseng. He is simply-Amazing. When choosing a surgeon, it can be very difficult to know what to look for. I had read his reviews and knew he was highly recommend on multiple web sites. Now having worked with him, I know Dr. Tseng is a highly skilled micro surgeon who is very knowledgeable of options and procedures. He beyond exceeded my expectations. Simply put, he is an expert in his craft. I would recommend him to friends and family. read more

Dr. Tseng is awesome! He really helped turn a horrible situation - breast cancer - into something pretty positive! There are so many great things about this surgeon (and the whole breast team at UCLA), so hopefully I won't forget anything here: In no particular order: 1). He is super calm and just has a great demeanor with patients. He gives you options and carefully explains the pros and cons of breast reconstruction (I had a double mastectomy, and you can reconstruct with implants or through flap surgery, which I opted for), with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation/visual aids. He visited me after surgery at the hospital, and called me when I was home, giving me his personal number in case I had any concerns or questions. It was such an awesome surprise that he has such concern for his patients! 2). His work is great! The day after surgery, when i saw my new boobs for the first time, I had no clue what to expect. I thought they'd be swollen blobs stuck to my chest. To my surprise, I looked down and saw I had actual boobs! That were half the size of my old ones (which is what I wanted) and much perkier too! Everyone who has seen them - from family, to all my other doctors and the nursing staff at the UCLA Westwood flap ward, said they looked amazing, but that's kind of his deal and amazing results are what he is known for. And my stomach is so flat, and all my incisions have healed really nicely! Bonus!!!! 3.). Dr. Tseng is also very detail oriented. He is known for taking his time and being very thorough in surgery. Mine was pretty long (approx 13 hrs) BECAUSE he is very careful and as a result, the finished product is so good! What does it matter anyway, you're sleeping the whole time . 4.) As I mentioned before, he makes the process almost kind of exciting. I went from being convinced I was dying and that my days were numbered, to actually being psyched about basically customizing my new boobs and the bonus tummy tuck (in the kind of flap surgery he does, belly flat is transferred to the boob area and lots of blood vessels are reconnected so that the tissue is living). And even now that I'm 4 weeks past surgery, we are still having ongoing conversations about finishing touches and tweaks. Dr. Tseng told me he loves his job because he gets to put a positive spin on the situation and do the more exciting finishing touches that make women feel good about themselves after the horror of breast cancer, and I wholeheartedly believe it! 5.) He has an awesome office staff (including his coordinator, Danica, who is very quick to respond to questions and is also super nice). The office looks new and very clean, and I've never had to wait long or have had any billing issues (knock on wood). So yeah, love Dr. Tseng! Happy to also answer any questions anyone might have :). read more

Dr. Tseng is an absolute marvel. He performed a bilateral DIEP flap procedure on me eight years after diagnosis, with great results. I would describe him as both an artist and a perfectionist, a fantastic combination in a surgeon. In addition to extremely skilled hands, he has outstanding bedside manner, calling his patients several times after a procedure to check in. I would recommend him any time, any place, to any woman who is considering a DIEP flap procedure. Go for it and make sure to do so with him at the helm. He is brilliant, kind and gifted. read more

I recently had by implants replaced due to encapsulation of my right implant. Dr Tseng was extremely kind, knowledgeable and very professional. The entire experience was great. Danica, his Office Administrator was also very professional. I would highly recommend Dr Tseng. I am very happy with the results. read more

If anyone is in the Southern California area consider going to Dr. Tseng for your breast reconstruction. I had the DIEP flap procedure and the shape, size and overall feel is very similar to before, just better. My stomach looks amazing. I feel like my 'before' self to a degree I didn't think was possible. He is compassionate, caring and highly skilled! read more

My wife came here after a recommendation from a doctor friend. She had a double mastectomy from early stage breast cancer. We know the whole UCLA breast center was one of the country's best, but Dr.Tseng is one of the best on the country plastic surgeons. They provided guidance along the whole process. The surgery went perfectly. His office visits are always quick, friendly, clean. They always accommodate our schedule. It's been approximately 3 years and the new breasts look fantastic, realistic and healthy. Dr.Tseng has excellent bedside manor, professional and a gifted surgeon. read more

A fantastic and comprehensive surgical experience. I want to tread lightly, since I don't know how much info should be divulged, but my wife required the work of Dr. Tseng due to a medical situation, not elective. Not sure if that matters in the context of Yelp, but I felt it was relevant. Dr. Tseng is thorough, friendly, and, arguably, most importantly, he is very, very good at his job. He is part of a team of tremendous doctors in the UCLA Santa Monica medical complex just off Wilshire, and despite initially being a second opinion, he immediately became our first choice. Charlie is engaging, answers all your questions, and takes the time to make you feel comfortable. He is knowledgeable and utilizes the newest techniques to help with results, which is comforting for the pysche. He balances that line between friendliness and professionalism that makes you feel at ease, yet confident. In a bad time of our lives, we could not have asked for a better squad of doctors than Tseng and the rest of the team. read more

It's been one year and five days since my mastectomy (Dr. Dinome) and reconstruction (Dr. Tseng), and I could not be happier with my decision to do the prophylactic mastectomy, nor with the results. Dr. Tseng is an artist and I'm so thankful he's been with me every step of the way this last year. He's continued to be patient and gracious with my many questions and very receptive to requests I've made. Thank you Dr. Tseng!! read more

Breast Cancer Reconstruction. I found Dr. Tseng to be a phenomenal micro-vascular/reconstructive/plastic surgeon. After going through treatment for breast cancer, I cannot express enough the importance of finding the right surgeon for the job. I still count my lucky stars to have found such an amazing team at the Santa Monica UCLA Breast Center, with enormous thanks to my breast surgeon, Dr. Nova Foster who highly recommended Dr. Tseng as she has witnessed his immaculate results repetitively. Genuine, seasoned, engaging, impeccable bed side manner and incredible results. read more

Dr.Charles he's my angel. I found out that my cancer came back again breast cancer on my left breast. I was told by my doctor that I couldn't get chemo again or radiation on the same area where I got radiated before so I had to have a mastectomy done. That's when my doctor Recommended me Dr. Charles. Dr. Charles gave me a new beautiful breast!!! He gave me two options, the first one was if I wanted to get silicone or do a flap , he gave me so much information about both procedures. I've never liked fake boobs because thr to obvious so I chose the flap. A flap is more natural looking and beautiful. That procedure was eight hours long. Why it took that long?? Well you see they had to remove my real breast then they had to do a tummy tuck which they remove fat from my lower stomach to make my new breast. I HOPE I MAKE SENSE... What I'm trying to say to everyone is that if you're in the same situation that I was with my cancer and you have to have a mastectomy then I say to do a flap because it's more natural looking healthier and beautiful and Dr. Charles is the best doctor to go to! I'm happy with my results n I love my new breast. Dr. Charles Thank you for everything!!! You totally ROCK!!!!!! read more

Do not use Dr. Tseng for your plastic surgery. Dr. Tsenf will not listen to what you are saying. Dr. Tseng makes cosmetic decisions without your input and then leaves you stranded he botches your surgery. read more

Dr. Tseng is AWESOME. He did the reconstruction for my prophylactic double mastectomy and I couldn't be happier. He is an excellent doctor who truly cares with a great bedside manner. I had my surgery back in 2016 and the results were great from day 1 and 5 years later everything is perfect. I highly recommend Dr. Tseng and am so grateful! read more

I sought out the expertise of Dr. Charles Tseng after suffering a painful and disastrous botched reconstruction surgery that made a mess of my breast by my previous surgeon. As if a breast cancer diagnosis wasn't devastating enough, I now needed the skills of a microsurgeon to fix this disaster. Dr. Tseng is nothing short of an amazing surgeon. He removed the expanders and the infected breast tissue and performed a DIEP flap surgery, including a skin graft without any complications. He turned a horrible, stressful and painful situation into something far better than I expected. My new breasts are warm, soft and natural feeling. They truly are a living part of me. My tummy area is smaller and flatter, a very pleasant surprise! Cancer is a long, tough journey and I have a few minor surgeries to go. Finding the right doctor can affect your quality of life. If something does not feel right, get a second opinion. I'm so glad I did. I highly recommend the extraordinarily proficient skills of Dr. Tseng to anyone seeking a breast specialist. read more

Dr. Tseng took care of my best friend during her breast cancer and reconstructive surgery. He spent 13 hours caring for her. We are so impressed with the care she received. He is knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. Thank you to Dr. Tseng for making a very difficult situation better! read more

For context I'm a single female in my 30s with a rare gene mutation that put me at extreme risk for breast cancer. In 2019 I was diagnosed with uterine cancer and had a hysterectomy. This made the decision to have a preventative mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction and add to scars on my body all the more difficult. Talking to surgeons is never the easiest. It's hard to judge and gauge what you think of them based on one conversation. Dr. Tseng is very professional but what I found after choosing him is that he was highly personable, very kind, easy to communicate with, and never made me feel rushed. He always answered my emails with random questions in a timely manner and even stopped to show me pictures of his baby the morning of surgery. More importantly his work speaks volumes for itself. There really is a power in plastic surgery that reduces the trauma of a mastectomy. 3 people who have seen the post surgical me have marveled at how good everything looks. Yes the tummy scar is long but it's crazy thin!! A nurse friend said "That is really going to look incredible as it fades with time." I had heard people say he was an artist and I see now how true that is. My recovery has gone better than expected all around with zero complications. I really was afraid this experience would make me feel broken, particularly at my age and after the few years I've had. Thanks to Dr. Tseng that just hasn't been the case. read more

I found out that I had breast cancer in December. My breast surgeon wanted me to see a plastic surgeon due to the tissue that would need to be removed. I told her no men. She was sorry but all they had was men. Dr. Tsang walked in and I immediately liked this team that was in front of me. I ended up having a mastectomy and flap reconstruction surgery. I was very excited about the tummy tuck but still nervous about the procedure. I had to see Dr. Tsang a week before and he was so encouraging and calm it gave me the strength to keep going. I am now 3 weeks out and I have been able to walk around 3 blocks and climb 3 flights of stairs. Dr. Tsang is truly a great surgeon and doctor. read more

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and to be honest all of it seemed nothing less than scary. When I met my team of doctors, I became relieved. One of those doctors is Dr. Charles Tseng, he truly is nothing less than AMAZING! Dr. Tseng impressed me on our first introduction with his thoroughness and attention to detail. When he was done I truly understood all my choices and options available to me. I was able to make an educated and confident decision. I received a full mastectomy on one of my breasts with full reconstruction with a DIEP flap. Dr. Tseng made my breast look so great that even the nurses during my hospital stay kept complementing, and asking who did your surgery? I thought it was really cute. One nurse asked and I replied Dr. Tseng, she said "Yes, that makes sense, everything he does is to perfection." I smiled. I am truly pleased, and HAPPY with the work Dr. Tseng has already done. I still have a couple of phases to go, but I am excited about the rest to come. Dr.Tseng is professional, and his work speaks for itself. The one other thing that I truly appreciate about him is he is a doctor, but he has this ability to make you feel comfortable, safe and confident that everything will be alright. I highly recommend Dr. Tseng as an "A" surgery,and plastic reconstructive surgeon. You will not be disappointed! read more
