Lavinia K Chong MD Plastic Surgeon

Dr. Chong is wonderful! I had my breast implants removed (explant) back in 2013, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! Dr. Chong made the experience very comfortable, and she did a great job with my explant surgery! We were able to remove the implants via local anesthesia, so it was nice to be awake and not have to deal with going under general anesthesia. I highly recommend Dr. Chong if you are looking to get your implants removed! :) Thank you to all of the kind staff as well!

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 I’d be leaving a review for a doctor’s 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 I’ve 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 I’m 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. I’ve 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. I’m 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 won’t regret it!

Phenomenal experience. I had my breast implants removed. Dr. Chong recommended the bare minimum (she doesn’t 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 wasn’t 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. 🥳❤️🙏

Dr. Chong is BY FAR not only one of the best surgeons out there but the most kind and genuine doctor I’ve ever met. If you are on the fence about your surgery, go meet her and she (as well as her staff) will put your mind at ease! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of me all these years!!
