We're absolutely overwhelmed reading Jenny and Nurse Ryan's testimonials! From post-surgery support to life-changing transformations, these stories remind us why we're so passionate about what we do every single day. Thank you for trusting us with your care! 🙏✨

⭐️ "My experience so far a week post surgery has been incredible! Dr. Chao and his staff are so incredibly welcoming, walk you through everything, and are in constant contact (even evenings and weekends). I had a minor setback from anesthesia and I was in contact with Dr. Chao, Beckie and Paula. They took the time to check in on me and help me get through. The actual surgical site I had done looks amazing!! In just 2 days the swelling is basically nothing, I'm sore, but in a good workout sore, not pain. I know I have a few more months of recovery, but I'm so glad I went with this group, they are AMAZING. So personable and down to earth, as well as straight forward which I appreciate. Strongly recommend Dr. Chao and his Team!" — Jenny Vidoni

⭐️ "Tears of absolute joy was my response the day Dr. Chao removed my surgical dressings. When I saw my face, I looked 20 years younger, more importantly, not fake. The professionalism, kindness and care shown to me by this office, is beyond compare. Follow up appointments for fillers and Botox with Beckie have rounded out my look. This is a team I would most highly highly recommend." — Nurse Ryan

"Tears of absolute joy" - Nurse Ryan, there wasn't a dry eye in the office when we read this! 😭 And Jenny, we're so glad we could support you through that setback - that's what we're here for! Your success and happiness mean everything to us! 💕

You might notice we don't offer Groupon deals or deep discount promotions on our surgical procedures - and there's a very important reason for that! At Chao Plastic Surgery, we believe in transparency about our pricing and the value you receive. Let us explain why this actually benefits you! 💕

Quality never goes on sale:
🏆 Board-certified surgeon expertise
🏆 State-of-the-art facility and equipment
🏆 Experienced, dedicated surgical team
🏆 Comprehensive pre and post-operative care
🏆 Premium materials and techniques
🏆 Long-term follow-up and support

The reality: When practices deeply discount surgical procedures, something has to give - whether it's experience level, facility quality, aftercare support, or rushing through more procedures per day. Your safety and results are too important to compromise!

We DO offer:
✅ Transparent, competitive pricing
✅ Flexible financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi
✅ Payment plans that fit your budget
✅ Occasional special offers on select non-surgical treatments at Vigour

Your transformation deserves the best, and we're committed to providing that value every single time! 🌟
