La Jolla Facial Plastic Surgery: Victor Chung, MD

Best of the best - Dr Victor Chung really surpasses those in his field. I've encountered a number of different experts in the beauty field of dermatologists, surgeons, advanced injectors, and Dr Chung is head and shoulders above anyone I've encountered: - His responsiveness is fast, efficient, timely - His processes for patient paperwork are streamlined to be electronic - saving trees is always a win - Thorough! Where do I even begin with this?! I've never met someone as thorough as Dr Chung. He has an extensive camera setup with all sorts of equipment and lighting, so he can take the necessary detailed angles of the contour and shadows of your face. He also has a high-tech 3D camera which he uses in addition to the other cameras. Note: It is Dr Chung himself who takes these pictures, not an admin staff member - he's focused on obtaining the best and necessary pictures possible to study in detail the specific contours of your face. I've never seen any professional in this field who is as extensive as Dr Chung with regard to this, and was nothing short of impressed with how beneficial the photos Dr Chung took, would be with regard to referencing together in a detailed discussion. - Another elaboration of the above point. Following the pictures taken with Dr Chung, he goes through a virtual mock-up with you (from the 3D camera pictures he just took), and discusses in depth your concerns, and meticulously explains available options and solutions. He also then revisits this as you hold a mirror up and point to the specific areas you're talking about - as further confirmation that you're both understanding each other about what/where specifically, right down to the millimeter specs. I appreciated the attentiveness and thoroughness, of being able to point out and discuss areas of concern on the 3D virtual mock-up, as well as doing the same with holding a mirror to my face, ensuring the congruency of what is being discussed. - Bedside manner: again, another rave point. I haven't met another another practitioner who comes across as professional, attentive, diligent and dedicated as Dr Chung. I was really blown away from start to finish with Dr Chung, and found myself realizing how lacking other (previous)practitioners have been with regards to such detailed attentiveness, in contrast. - Follow-up: within 24 hours of seeing Dr Chung, I received a follow-up phone call from him personally. Again, something I've never encountered before with any other practitioner. Needless to say, my entire experience with Dr Chung has been staggeringly impressive. He really elevates what can and should be done, with regard to patient experience, and also surgical skill. I feel very lucky to have found him, and my experience with him has really put into perspective how lackluster other practitioners/centers have been. I also think that Dr Chung is poised to become hugely in demand (and appropriately so) considering that his skill and service is unparalleled. In short - best practitioner I've seen, ever, and I highly encourage anyone who is considering Dr Chung, to follow through with seeing him.

Dr. Chung is the BEST choice I could have made for a plastic surgeon! He is not only immensely talented but he treats you as if you are his only patient, answering all your questions and following up long after to make sure you are taken care of. His credentials are impressive, couldn't be happier!

BEST EVER!!!! Dr.Chung is the Best in the San Diego area! I had my lips done with the Rejuvaderm XC filler and I am absolutely over the moon happy with the results. Dr.Chung explained everything to me before starting the procedure and it was exactly as expected. His eye for a natural looking enhancement is Amazing! I'm so thrilled and highly encourage everyone to trust him with all of your Facial enhancement needs.

I wanted an unbiased analysis from Dr. Chung regarding the aging of my face and advice on repairs and preventative measure. He performed the 3D Vectra computer simulation, which involved taken dozens of photos of my face from various angles and created a 3D model of my face and skin. Using this he was able to analyze the condition of my facial muscles, my skin, and the surface of my skin. He took great care to be educational and personable. I found him to be very trustworthy in not over-prescribing and only recommending only what is truly good for my skin. Based on his recommendation, I've decided to start a 6 month program using ZO skin health products. The office itself was beautiful, quiet and immaculately clean. It felt more like a spa than a doctor's office. I will continue to consult with Dr. Chung on an annual basis. Should I ever decide to try out other products or procedures I will definitely return to him. I would recommend him to my friends and family.
