Patient Testimonials
Sometimes it’s most helpful to hear from those who came before you. Read what Dr. Chang’s patients have to say about his service and results.
"I have never felt so confident. Dr. Chang completely changed how I saw myself in the mirror. I was terribly self conscious of my nose from my youth and finally decided to go through with the surgery. Not only was it inexpensive compared to the other three doctors I contacted, the before and after pictures of patients were also much better looking than the others! The whole process of surgery and recovery was quick and pretty much painless. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting cosmetic surgery. It really made me a happier person."

"My son was in a terrible accident with most of the bones in his face and skull broken... I don't know what I would have done without Dr Chang!! My son is fully recovered and back to his old self again. I love Dr Chang, he will be in my prayers for the rest of my life. Thank you!"

"I cannot say enough about my surgery with Dr. Chang! I had full facial Rejuvenation including a facelift brow lift and upper eyelids done 4 months ago. I also had a chemical peel to my lower eyelids and mouth. They was barely any pain and I was back to work the next week! I am so thrilled and my friends are so impressed. I cannot say enough about my experience! He is both caring and an amazing surgeon! Thank you so much!"

"Dr. Chang did my rhinoplasty about 8 weeks ago and he was brilliant. I was an incredibly nervous patient who contemplated a rhinoplasty for 10 years and decided to take the leap after much thought and many consultations. I was looking for the following criteria: 1) To still look like myself; 2) Find a skilled surgeon with the vision to reshape my nose appropriately to fit my face; and 3) Find a surgeon who heard me. Dr. Chang impressed me out of the gate. He listened to all of my concerns and spent so much time with my during the consultation process. It is clear that he takes great pride in making his patients happy and seeing great outcomes! The surgery felt super quick and was a good experience overall. The nurses at the outpatient center were top notch and made me feel completely comfortable. Dr. Chang spent time talking with my husband following the surgery, checked in with me, and made himself available to answer any questions following surgery. The recovery was also relatively painless. I had essentially no pain and while bruising peaked within 24 hours, it improved drastically each day. I was back to work (from home and off video) within 4 days and was able to cover bruises easily with makeup 9 days after the surgery. Bruising was totally gone within 2 weeks. Like other patients, I had a lot of anxiety about what people would think - too vain, frivolous expense, etc. I’m happy to say that the results are beautiful, completely natural and not a single person has said anything to me about it. I was very private about having the surgery because I only did it for myself, so a natural result was my ultimate goal. The entire experience and outcome was everything I hoped for and I cannot thank Dr. Chang enough! He is a true pro and I recommend 100% without reservation!"

"I went to Dr. Chang to correct the damage done to my breasts from pregnancy and breastfeeding. He went above and beyond to make me comfortable and to explain exactly what the procedures (lift + implants) would entail. He was extremely responsive and truly understood the look that I was trying to achieve - full, natural for my frame, and with minimal scarring. I'm only two days out from surgery and I'm already loving my results. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Chang to restore my chest to its pre-baby appearance. I actually think they are going to be better than they ever were before I had kids!"

"Amazing practice; Great physician; Great staff; Initial consult was great, Dr. answered all my questions and spent lots of time with me. He gave me alternatives to surgery and other items. Prior to procedure, nurses and hospital called and gave me good instructions on what to do. Day of - Innova hospital was great. Dr. Chang came to talk to me before and explained again everything and we talked. Always made me feel comfortable. He even went above and beyond and did slightly more work. COST was amazing and well-priced with other procedures. VS. other practices, much better: Made alternative suggestions, cost was better, Physician just seemed more knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and friendly."

"I was referred to Dr. Chang by my Mohs surgeon who had to perform a radical excision of tissue from my nose due to an aggressive squamous cell carcinoma invasion. It left me with a significant wound extending from the dorsum to the tip and partial sidewalls of the nose that had to be closed as soon as possible. Besides the extensive loss of tissue, my case was made more complicated by my having CLL--reduced immune system, myelodysplastic syndrome--severe anemia, and low platelet count--thrombocytopenia. I was fortunate to have Dr. Chang take on my challenging case. At my pre op, Dr. Chang explained carefully what he planned to do. He described the methodology to me and answered all my questions (and I ask a lot of questions!). åI have had two surgeries to date, one to perform the paramedian flap procedure, and the second to sever the flap and accomplish some additional sculpting. The results to date are amazing; it is difficult to tell that my forehead had been cut open to obtain the necessary tissue to cover the extensive nose wound. My nose will require additional surgeries to achieve satisfactory form, fit and function partly due to the fact that Dr. Chang had to leave some excess tissue in the event that I require any radiation oncology procedures which shrinks tissue. Fortunately, I will not require the radiation treatment due to the outstanding work of the Moh's surgeon to remove all the invasive cancer cells and leave clean margins. Dr. Chang verified this result by excising several tissue samples from the lateral margins for pathological analysis during my first surgery . I really appreciated this double check which put my mind at ease that there were no remaining cancer cells in the operative area. åI am very confident that Dr. Chang will leave me with a reconstructed nose that will be functionally sound and aesthetically pleasing and difficult to discern from my original nose--very impressive indeed! I expect people will not even know that I had undergone such a major nose reconstruction due to the work of Dr. Chang. åMy overall evaluation of Dr. Chang is that he is an outstanding surgeon with a great future. He was educated in some of the premier medical institutions in the country; he is well organized, fully competent, thorough, pays attention to detail, and has an extremely pleasant manner that promotes confidence in his patients. I am also impressed that Dr. Chang finds the time to perform charitable work by correcting facial/cranial deformities of children in poor and underdeveloped countries. My family, friends, former colleagues, and my physicians (I see a lot of doctors due to my numerous medical problems) all are following my progress and are quite impressed with what Dr. Chang has accomplished. Superb work Dr. Chang! åA word too about the staff and facility. All of the personnel in this office are outstanding--courteous, and professional, from the receptionists who schedule appointments and welcome you upon arrival, to the outstanding nurses who assist Dr. Chang. I am even impressed with the dress code required of the staff. The facility is bright, roomy, and kept to very high cleanliness standards--so important to a medical office. åIn summary, I would recommend anyone who requires major reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery to go to this office."

"I had a consultation with two other surgeons before I met Dr. Chang. I always wanted a breast augmentation done but didn't want to rush so I took my time finding the best doctor in this area. Some doctors will put in whatever cc's you ask for just to please you and that's exactly what my second doctor wanted to do. I am very petite and the size I thought I wanted would have been too extreme for my figure. Dr. Chang and his nurse Kelly not only made me feel extremely comfortable but they listened to what I wanted and explained every single step. Dr. Chang has his 24 hour recovery program which definitely helped me tremendously. I got my surgery on Thursday and was back to my normal routine by Saturday. If you do what he says, you will see the results. I thought my boobs were going to be up extremely high the first week but mine looked perfect and now that it dropped a bit, no one can tell I got a boob job... I mean my boobs definitely went from 32A to 32DD but because i healed so quickly and my boobs were not up to my chin, they just looked like my real boobs. It still looks so natural and I love it! My friends sister also got hers done somewhere else and even after a month, her boobs are still up very high. I knew Dr. Chang was my doctor after my first consultation and I booked my surgery after a week. I am extremely happy with the results and thankful for Dr. Chang and his crew! His nurse, Kelly was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process, calling to check on me after my surgery and answering all of my questions! A huge thank you to Dr. Chang and Kelly!!!"

"I am so grateful that I chose Dr. Chang to perform my rhinoplasty in September. Dr. Chang uses a perfect balance of professionalism, talent, compassion, and humor to help patients feel comfortable and confident in the weeks leading up to surgery. Most impressively, Dr. Chang remained extremely available and responsive to all of my questions in the days and weeks following my surgery. It is rare to find such a committed physician, and he never made me feel like my questions were insignificant.
Most importantly, I'm beyond happy with my end results. I am 1 month post surgery, and I can see a significant change in the look of my nose, and it's getting better each day. It has been easy to schedule follow up visits with the doctor and his nursing team has also been a great support. I would 100% recommend Dr. Chang to friends, family, and anyone looking for an excellent plastic surgeon. I plan to see Dr. Chang for any other cosmetic procedures I pursue in the future."
- Katie C.
"Our recent experience with Dr. Chang was outstanding. He performed an otoplasty on our 6 year old son and exceeded our expectations professionally and personally. Upon meeting Dr. Chang we immediately felt at easy about making what, we felt like, was a very difficult decision. He was attentive, informative, and never made us feel rushed during our consultation with detailed explanation of the procedure and levels of healing. At the hospital Dr. Chang made all of us feel calm and comfortable before surgery. We were updated during the 2 hour procedure. Immediately following the surgery, Dr. Chang summarized the surgical procedure and showed us pictures of the results (that would be bandaged when we saw our son in recovery). Recovery was a bit difficult for my son and although Dr. Chang had already left the hospital, he came back just to check on him and assess the situation. Dr. Chang was accessible during the entire recovery time. The first night home we spoke on the phone several times (even in the middle of the night). We had never encountered a doctor with such an attentive bedside manner. The entire experience provided excellent surgical results for my son, boosting his confidence. Dr. Chang was always supportive and gave us immediate feedback. We are truly grateful for his expertise and demeanor."

"If more stars could be given, I would have no hesitation in making sure that everyone thinking about surgery with Dr. Chang will be confident of an excellent result that clearly exceeded my expectations. Pictures speak a thousand words but everything on my "wish" list (keep it natural, raise the brow in select areas, achieve a clearly visible improvement) was easily met and the result is a very happy patient that is happy to strongly recommend Dr. Chang. In fact, I have to say that in his care, I felt that his scrupulous attention to detail, his surgical approach and comprehensive answers meant that I had full confidence in his abilities. Dr. Chang made it a thoroughly enjoyable procedure and from the moment I entered the office (to a very warm and welcoming receptionist) through procedure planning, the actual operation and then the follow-up care demonstrated a true dedication to patient care and satisfaction. I honestly did not think (given my age and a previous surgery) that I could realistically get my ideal result - but Dr. Chang delivered a result that blew past every possible and hoped-for outcome. Every question was answered, the instructions before and after surgery were easy to follow and explained fully, and I benefited from and greatly appreciated his superlative surgical skill-set. Dr. Chang always took the time that the patient needed to understand all aspects of the procedure and I will enjoy the benefits of his work in the years to come. I have told all my friends, so I do hope others will consider and meet with Dr. Chang. He was in fact the only surgeon recommended by my dermatologist of many years and she was 100% correct in directing me to his door."

"THANK YOU DR CHANG AND STAFF: åAfter breastfeeding my second baby eighteen years ago, myself confidence hit an all time low because my breasts sagged badly. I no longer felt sexy and became very self conscious about my appearance and would only wear conservative, non sexy clothing. I weren't able to express myself through fashion as gravity often step in causing wardrobe malfunction as my breasts would often find themselves out of the bra. After years of contemplating breast augmentation and to remove the bags under my eyes. I final sermon the courage to do something about it and that's when my friend referred me to Dr Christopher Chang. åAs this was a big decision for me, I was very anxious but Dr Chang made me feel at ease with the decision, I was about to make. In doing so, he carried out a detailed assessment and enquired about my reasoning for wanting the surgery (making clear his ethical stance). At the end of my consultation, I felt I was making an informed decision and that Dr Chang was the person I would trust to carry out the procedure. He educated me of the pros and cons and of any possible risks involved. åThe office offered excellent pre and post surgery care and guidance. On the day of my surgery I was greeted by a very pleasant Dr Chang, who went over the final details of my procedure which was reassuring. åFollowing my procedure, Dr Chang kept in frequent contact to check on my progress/recovery and returned my calls immediately, if I had a question. This made my recovery after the procedure manageable. åWhen I first saw my 'identical twins', I almost dropped; the babies looked so beautiful and perfect. My confidence hit the roof; I felt like twenty one again"

"I want to give Dr. Chang and his staff a shout-out for the amazing work they have done for me. I was first referred to Dr. Chang by a good friend of mine as he was highly recommended. I had been considering having a breast augmentation for several years, so when I heard they were hosting a meet-and-greet with the doctors at their Fairfax office, I knew I had to attend. After meeting with Dr. Chang and the staff, I knew I was ready to set up an official consultation! At the consultation, both Dr. Chang and his nurse were a wealth of knowledge. They both made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt confident in their hands. When I decided to proceed, I came in for my pre-op appointment where I then tried on different implant sizes to determine what would be the best fit for my body. We decided that 275 ccs would be perfect for me since I am petite. The day of surgery, I was a little nervous but also very excited. Everyone at the hospital was very attentive and had remarkable bedside manners. When I came out of surgery, I had no pain and no discomfort. I felt slight pressure, which was to be expected, but overall I was surprisingly very comfortable. After surgery, I began my “24-hour recovery”. A few hours after being home and resting, Dr. Chang called to check up on me, which I thought, “wow what a thoughtful doctor!” The very next day I went out to lunch with my friend and walked around the mosaic without any discomfort. I never once had to take any pain medicine as I didn’t feel it was needed. The healing process took no time at all, and I was back to work within a few days. I am so in love with my results and my confidence has skyrocketed! My new breasts look and feel so natural, and they are exactly what I was hoping for! I am very pleased with my experience from start to finish and am absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much Dr. Chang, you have definitely boosted my confidence!"
- Kathrine G.
"Dr. Chang and his staff are amazing! Three years ago I considered getting a breast augmentation, however, 1 week before surgery, I canceled because I was entirely too nervous. Here I am now approximately 1 month post op and couldn't be happier. When I went in for my consultation with Dr. Chang, I felt extremely comfortable. He was very realistic, precise, and generally concerned/wanted the best for me. He and his staff are not only knowledgeable and skilled but also friendly and easy to talk to. On the day of my surgery, both Dr. Chang and his nurse called me to check how I was doing. I was offered the opportunity to be on the 24 hour recovery program and I don't regret a single painful minute of it. I highly recommend Dr. Chang and his staff. The people are wonderful and the office is well maintained."
- Avril G.
"Four weeks ago I had abdominoplasty and breast augmentation procedures with Dr. Chang. I am over the moon with the amazing natural and subtle results of his artistry. He is a gifted surgeon. He made the entire process from pre-op to recovery a very positive experience. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Chang. I unequivocally would recommend him for any cosmetic procedures you may be considering. He has a wonderful bedside manner very engaging and informative always. He makes you feel you are his only patient never rushed or hurried. His upbeat and positive outlook are so refreshing. It’s truly a pleasure to be his patient. Nurse Kelly is such an asset to the team. She thoroughly prepares you for each step of the surgical process. Her expertise is very helpful and appreciated. The office staff are friendly, caring and efficient. I wholeheartedly endorse the practice of Dr. Dufresne and Dr. Chang!!"

"I went to see Doctor Chang for a lip augmentation about a month ago. I have always had a really full bottom lip, but super thin upper lip with not much definition. Doctor Chang used Juvederm Ultra to make very subtle changes to my upper lip, making it more defined. My cupids bow is now visible! My lips look SO natural that many people do not even notice unless I tell them, which in my opinion is a good thing! Doctor Chang is amazing, he made the procedure painless and actually enjoyable/fun. Prior to this, I was very nervous to try lip fillers. After meeting with Doctor Chang I realized I was nervous over nothing! I honestly could not have had a better experience."
- Kelee L.
"I'm OBSESSED!!!! Obsessed with Dr Chang, nurse Kelly, all the office staff, but MY OH MY the RESULTS!!! Dr Chang is a true artist! I've been telling everyone I know about him and his awesome work. You won't find a better surgeon, even in Beverly Hills! He can literally give liquid facelifts with botox, does perfect contouring with filler, is very conservative with his approach. You know you are in the best hands with him and his caring staff. Nurse Kelly is always available to answer questions on recovery and you know she's seen it all so she will even give you sound advice on the latest and greatest in products and procedures. Let me also say that I am in pharmaceutical sales, I am in and out of every single plastic surgery office all over the DMV and this is the top practice in the entire area. The office is always busy, super high standards, only offers the best products, has best in class surgeons. They are THE BEST. I would only ever trust these doctors, and Dr Chang is "IT" for me!"
- Monica J.
"I was very fortunate to have Dr. Chang treat me at Suburban Hospital's ER. I arrived at the ER with a severe head laceration in the front forehead area. Immediately upon meeting Dr. Chang, my anxiety level dropped dramatically. He calmly explained the extent of my injury and what he was going to do with closing the wound. His skill and caring manner became apparent very quickly. After the procedure, I visited his office within a couple of days due to my concern that the wound was ok and not infected. He again demonstrated a great deal of concern and professionalism, which quickly reassured me everything was fine. Within a week, I again visited his office to have my sutures removed and again was very impressed with how caring and skillful he was. His office staff was also very patient friendly. This was a major laceration and I was very surprised and delighted with how well it has healed with very little scaring. I would greatly recommend Dr. Chang and I am sure his skill and caring as Plastic Surgeon is second to none."
- Charlie W.
"This is a rare pleasure for me to write a review that is 100% positive. My daughter had an accident which required stitches on her nose. Dr. Chang was at the hospital tending to his "smile" kids when he so graciously agreed to work on her. He turned out to be the "poster boy" for the perfect doctor! He demonstrated a gentle bedside manner and an unruffled composure in dealing with my daughter, the patient as well as that of her totally stressed out mother. His knowledge about the procedure was amazing, he put both of us quickly at ease by explaining in detail what he was going to do. After one week, the scar was barely visible and now after a few months...it is impossible to even detect where on her nose the stitches were. I simply can't praise Dr. Chang highly enough after seeing the results on my daughter. He absolutely, without a doubt did a perfect job...........THANK YOU DR. CHANG!!!!!!"
- Roberta V.
"My almost 6 month old daughter has plagiocephaly so we met with Dr. Chang for his opinion and expertise. He gave us his undivided attention during our consultation. After the consult, he gave me his business card and said I could contact him if I had further questions. Of course, I had more questions so I emailed him that night and he emailed me back within 45 minutes! I REALLY appreciate individuals who are responsive to my concerns and questions via email or phone. I have seen many different doctors over the year (ob-gyns, pediatricians, specialists, etc.) and I have never had such great follow-up as I did with Dr. Chang. When I had a question about insurance, he followed up with that issue immediately as well since his office manager was out of the office. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chang for a great bedside manner, expertise, professionalism, and responsiveness!"
- Jessica G.
"10 stars is not enough for Dr. Chang - he's off the charts. Dr. Chang fixed my broken nose and stitched my face up so well, no one can even see the scar only a few months later. Dr. Chang has a calming and confident demeanor, so despite being in the er with a bleeding head wound, I was able to relax knowing I was in the hands of an expert surgeon. He is truly a master at his job and I recommend him to everyone I know."
- Jennifer V.
"Dr. Chang came highly recommended- and did not disappoint! He was friendly, patient, took time to explain things, very responsive, and I felt really comfortable with him and his entire office. My procedure was pain free and I'm so happy with the results. I'll definitely be going back to Dr. Chang in the future!"
- Ava E.
"I had a consultation with Dr. Chang on Friday, March 11, 2016 for a breast augmentation. Dr. Chang was very attentive and heard out all of my questions and concerns. He asked what I wanted my breasts to look like post surgery which made me very comfortable. After analyzing my measurements we discussed the size of implants to be used. Dr. Chang explained the no-touch technique he uses, which reduces some of the risks associated with the surgery. He also said I would be a candidate for the 24 hr recovery process which is very appealing to me, given my busy schedule. I am confident that Dr. Chang will help me achieve the look that I've been dreaming of for years. This is my fourth consultation and I've finally found the doctor I trust to perform this surgery. All of my worries have been put to rest and I cannot wait to go ahead with the surgery with Dr. Chang."
- Maurey F.
"Dr. Chang is the best cosmetic surgeon I've come across. I thoroughly trust him and his work is absolutely impeccable. Besides being a talented and professional surgeon, he is so friendly with a great sense of humor, and no matter how small your concern is he takes it just as seriously, listens, and offers his advice. His office is the opposite of an intimidating plastic surgery practice- everyone is so friendly, easy going, and makes you feel very comfortable. I've recommended him to so many friends already!"
- Sanja B.
"I went to Dr. Chang to fix my ear lobe after an earring was ripped out. He was not only accommodating to my schedule but also highly skilled and diligent at what does. It's been 3 months since I've had it repaired and my ear looks amazing. When I tell people what happened, they can't even tell that I had any trauma to my ear. I work at a hospital and the doctors I work with all say he did a great job. I highly recommend going to Dr. Chang. You will be extremely satisfied with his work!!"
- Stephanie B.
"When calling for an appointment it's quick and efficient. The staff at the front desk always have a smile. Everyone in the clinical side makes us feel like family and Dr Chang has changed our lives with my daughters mandibular distraction and cleft palate surgery. My overall experience has been excellent and I'm happy that I found you guys"
- Marcos M.
"We loved your service a lot. You were all very helpful for us in our journey with the surgery. My daughter is doing great now after surgery."
- Sritara R.
"I received an injury to my face that left me heartbroken and desperate to find the best plastic surgeon to repair it with minimal long-term damage and scarring. I am so glad I found Dr. Chang. Because of the time-sensitivity to stitch up the wound, Dr. Chang and his staff stayed later than normal business hours and kept me calm, reassured, and positive the whole time (a level of service that remained consistent with all my following appointments). The wound required an extremely delicate attention to detail and expertise of facial nerves, and Dr. Chang exceeded my expectations on how well it could be repaired. Even all my family and friends in the medical field were amazed and impressed with the precision of his work! Dr. Chang is not only extremely skilled, but he is friendly, supportive, and very kind – all traits you want in a doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Chang and plan to continue going to him for any future needs. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Dr. Chang for working so hard to heal my injury and restore my confidence."
- Nicole B.
"Dr. Chang is a warm and highly capable doctor. I was very pleased with tha service I received and delighted with the results."
- Kate C.
"Love my lips! Dr. Chang was very attentive to what I wanted and made sure I was comfortable through the whole experience! His staff was welcoming and all around they took great care of me. I will definitely be coming back to get my lips touched up and recommend his practice to friends!"
- Alexandra R.
"I had a great experience with DR Chang. He was extremely friendly, made me feel so comfortable and calmed my nerves successfully, since I was naturally freaking out as a first timer. It didn't really hurt much at all! My lips are now the perfect size and I'm Extremely happy. It's been 5 days now so the bruising and discoloration is still very much visible, but with a little lipstick I've been totally fine. Definitely looking forward to when those symptoms dissipate but overall everything was amazing. Thanks Dr Chang!!"
- Caitlin R.
"My experience with Dr. Chang and his team was exemplary from start to finish. He ensured that I was informed and confident in every part of the process leading up to and following my procedure. His individual approach coupled with his welcoming staff and personality were the deciding factors in my choice to move forward with such a life changing experience. Thanks to Dr. Chang and his fantastic colleagues, I feel more beautiful than I thought possible. Excellent work from excellent people!! Thank you!!"
- Patricia M.
"My husband had a cyst that was supposed to be a simple removal procedure. It was very deep and much more complicated to remove than initially diagnosed by a dermatologist. Dr. Chang and his support staff spent much time and effort to safely remove the entire cyst intact. His care and concern for his patient's best interest and health are exceptional. This was our second experience with Dr. Chang after my husband had a skin graft. He is a consummate professional and his integrity and personal manner are outstanding."
- Ellen S.
"Dr. Chang was very helpful and made me feel very comfortable whenever I voiced a concern of mine. I know that I have found my doctor as any others I have gone to did not give me the sense of security that Dr.Chang provided for me."
- Shamla J.
"My team of doctors (Drs. Hafner, Chang, Jang, and Venna) from the Melanoma Center were FANTASTIC!! Each doctor took the time to carefully explain the necessary surgical procedures involved. They listened to my concerns and questions. I felt that I was in excellent hands and trusted their professional expertise. Dr. Chang was also very thoughtful in the attention and concern on my post-surgery progress. I highly recommend this team of doctors without question!!"
- Mary W.
"Went in for a consultation and felt Dr. Chang did an amazing job giving me a thorough explanation for my questions and options regarding surgery."
- Breanne G.
"Dr. Chang is simply the BEST!! Always there when you need him. Very professional, understanding, and caring! BEST doctor in the VA area!!"
- Harry C.
"I am very happy with my breast implant. Dr. Chang is AWESOME & very knowledgeable! He looks out what is best for his client. Office staffs are very helpful with follow-ups. Yes, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Chang. I can’t thank you enough for what he has done for me."
- V T.
"Dr. Chang was super professional and did an amazing job. My lips look fantastic!"
- Christin
"Dr. Chang used Voluma to augment my chin. The projection helped to harmonize my face and helped my side profile look even and natural. The filler was painless, chin was a bit tender for a day or so, but nothing after that. Best investment for my face so far. Dr. Chang was very professional and made the whole appointment very relaxing and fun. Would highly recommend!"
- Atilla H.
"I visited Dr. Chang to have my tear troughs (under eyes) filled. I was super scared of the potential bruising and that everyone would know I had “work done” because of it. Thanks to Dr. Chang’s gentle injections and use of numbing cream that also helped prevent bruising, I had only two little tiny dot bruises that were unnoticeable with makeup. I now look much more rested and I’m feeling so confident. Dr. Chang started slow with just one syringe of Volbella and two weeks later with a second. This allowed us to see where I needed more after some swelling went down, so as not to overdo it. I’m really happy with the results. I’ve also had Dr. Chang do some mid-cheek sculpting with filler and he’s done and amazing job keeping it natural but noticeable. It’s been a great experience working with him."
- Melanie C.
"I had an amazing experience with Dr. Chang! I came to his office wanting to have lip injections. Initially, I was very nervous to have this procedure done because I had a bad experience at a different clinic in the past. However, Dr. Chang was very patient and understanding and he didn't pressure me to do the procedure if I wasn't ready. I talked with him about my concerns and also about what results I wanted; he was very friendly, personable, and really listened to me. I ended up having 1ml of Juvederm injected into my top and bottom lips combined; the procedure felt very relaxed - Dr. Chang really took his time and made sure my lips looked great and that they were symmetrical (which I appreciated). Afterwards, he told me to email him the next day to let him know how I was feeling, which I thought was really kind. It's now been two weeks since having the lip injections and I really love the results! My lips look very natural, symmetrical, with just the right amount of plumpness. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Chang for any other cosmetic procedures. He and his office staff are great and I had a wonderful experience!"
- Jordan M.
"Highly recommend Dr. Christopher Chang. I had a relatively minor procedure, that nonetheless required an 'artist's eye', and I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Chang's manner will both put you at ease, and inspire your confidence in him. It is immediately obvious that he cares about and is dedicated to his work. The surgical facility was spotless, modern and comfortable. The after-care has been excellent, and his office staff (both locations I visited) were friendly and professional."
- Kevin R.
"I've been looking into getting a breast augmentation for years now. Like all others, I really made sure to do my research. Once I found Dr. Chang and met with him for my first consultation, I knew immediately he was the surgeon I wanted to do my procedure with! He was very easy to talk to and straight to the point with things. If you had any questions he/his staff were happy to answer them. His staff was extremely professional and I felt comfortable around them. Dr. Chang wants the best for you, especially if you are looking for a "natural look." He recommended what he thought would look best on me and we compromised with his recommendations and my expectations. I was really nervous a day or two before the surgery, thinking maybe it wouldn't turn out to be what I wanted to look like...but I think everyone goes through this. The day of the procedure was calming - everyone was a pleasure to speak to and after waking up from the surgery I felt a little delusional (from the anesthesia of course) but shortly after felt okay! Maybe it's because I have a higher pain tolerance, or Dr. Chang is THAT good (or both!) but I didn't need many drugs besides some ibuprofen for slight pain. I'm about one week post-op and am super happy with the results so far. Any unsure thought I had previously has been proved wrong, and I am ecstatic about that! I would 100000% recommend Dr. Chang - you are in great hands with him. I can't wait to see what my breasts look like when they fully heal and settle. Definitely one of the best decisions I've made for myself :) Thank you Dr. Chang!"

"I am very satisfied with my whole experience with Dr. Chang . I went in to get Botox, he was patient and explained in detail what would be done and how long it would take to take full effect. This wasn't my first experience with botox, but it was my first time in Dr. Chang office and I am thoroughly satisfied. I can see great difference from past experiences. I also inquired about a possible a facelift procedure and he was very detailed while explaining. Will definitely recommend to my friends and comeback."
- Hilma S.
"Dr. Chang did an excellent job with my botox treatment. I had previously had trouble with drooping eyebrows from a different physician, but Dr. Chang took his time to make sure it turned out perfectly. I will definitely return."
- Kerry M.
"I am so thankful that I found Dr. Chang through Yelp. His ratings were all outstanding, and now I know why. I was immediately greeted by smiling faces and a friendly gentleman at the front desk. After a short wait, I was escorted to my room by a nurse who was absolutely the sweetest! I felt so comfortable, and all of my nervous thoughts (first timer here) just went away. After a couple of minutes, Dr. Chang came in and we discussed what I wanted. Talk about professional and extremely personable, I cannot imagine a better experience. I'd like to point out that I didn't really have a specific look in mind - my only expectation was that I wanted to look natural - so left it with Dr. Chang to work his magic. He guided me through my Botox and Juvederm injections and never once left me wondering about the procedure, next steps, or how to care for my new "work". It has been two weeks since I was in the office and I cannot express my gratitude for Dr. Chang and all of his staff. It's amazing how such a minor procedure can boost your confidence. Even considering another Plastic Surgeon makes me fearful, Dr. Chang is the best of the best!"
- Devon D.
"Dr. Chang listened to my concerns today. He examined me and discussed what he saw and what his recommendations would be for me in the future. He is very nice, he spent a good amount of time with me and explained everything thoroughly. Because he does not participate with my insurance he sent a follow up email with dr.s that do. He was great and so is Dr. Dufresne! I give him 10 as well."
- Susan S.
"Great staff! Made my child comfortable for their procedure. Healing nicely. Definitely will refer people to Dr. Chang."
- Angela G.
"I got to see him even a few minutes before the appointment time . No waiting once I was called in. Doctor Chang was very thorough and answered all our questions."
- Dirk H.
"Best decision ever!!! I recently got Juvederm lip fillers for the first time 2 weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE them! Dr. Chang answered all my questions about the procedure during my consultation. Two days later I had my lip augmentation. I must admit the results were pretty AMAZING and I look forward in seeing Dr. Chang for my next procedure : )"
- London B.
"Very gentle! Will listen to your opinion & will make you feel comfortable throughout the process. Definitely the doctor to go to!"
- Nuha A.
"My review is about Dr. Chang! His bedside manner is the best! The treatment and explanation of procedures is excellent, this is the reason for my return to the office. I referred my niece to Dr. Chang and another plastic surgeon which I had used for procedures in the past, she chose Dr. Chang. Which I thought she might for the same reasons I have. My only compliant about the office is treatment from the receptionist. She could be a bit more friendly."
- Cathy L.
"For my first time experiencing Botox, I am extremely happy with it! I thought that Dr. Chang took the time to sit and discuss things with me to ensure I felt comfortable, as well as the fact that he did not push or pressure me into anything at all. The nurse, Kelly, got to know me and I felt genuinely comfortable in the office. I will definitely be back in a couple months as well as look into other fillers or peels. Thank you!"
- Hillary A.
"I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Chang and his staff. I was nervous about my first time getting Botox, but I immediately felt at ease upon entering the office and being greeted by the receptionist. She even accommodated me showing up on the wrong day for my follow up appointment with no questions asked. Dr. Chang answered all of my questions and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I am extremely happy with the results of my Botox in my forehead - smooth, but still natural looking. I would highly recommend Dr. Chang to anyone seeking similar services!"
- Jessica J.
"I got my lip augmentation done with Dr.Chang. It was an amazing experience, he has a very good attitude, was very nice to me, exactly explained the whole process, also was professional and opened for my questions. Beside that, the atmosphere in the entire office is very nice and pleasant. I recommend Dr. Chang !"
- Anna L.
"I have had a great experience with Dr. Chang so far. I went to a few different Drs for consults before ultimately choosing Dr. Chang to perform surgery on my forehead. My scar is very small and it's healing well. He's very nice, doesn't rush the appointments, and explains everything in a way that was easy to understand. I've already recommended him to several people who also love going to him as well."
- Julie U.
"Dr Chang is the best. I have had my botox and lip fillers done by him. I love the results because it looks natural. I feel beautiful every day. Thank you dr Chang ."

"When you want to shoot for the stars, you go elsewhere. When you want to shoot for the moon, you go to someone with ELITE credentials and that's Dr. Chang. He's not just a Plastic Surgeon but someone you can connect with on a human level. Check out some of the extraordinary work performed by him on missions to save children's lives. Impressive! With around thirty-two different face-lifting techniques currently in common practice Dr. Chang analyzes the scientific basis of each before altering his technique. Ultimately, the artistry comes from the hands of the Plastic Surgeon. Dr. Chang has no wand but hands that produce magical results. The aesthetics of facial beauty must be understood and followed as this becomes paramount in the creation of a naturally more attractive face. This is precisely why Dr. Chang is the very best choice for amazing results. There is no shortage of the "WOW FACTOR" I am grateful for such a wonderful experience. The office staff is well educated and serves every patient with an excellent attitude. Now my friend is booked for a face-lift. Is yours? CHOOSE DR.CHANG!!!!"
- Jennifer
"Dr. Chang removed two moles from my face and I could not be happier with the experience or the results. I am extremely fair skinned - small acne marks can last for years - but just a few months out from the procedure and I have to look closely to find the tiny scars. The front office is well-run and pleasant, and the nurses put everyone at ease. Dr. Chang himself is among the nicest doctors you will ever meet - confident in his perceptions and medical advice, but not the least bit egotistical. I wish I had come in years ago (and I will certainly be back)!"
- Erin T.
"From our first moment in Dr. Chang's office, we were assisted by professional, kind, and very capable staff. Dr. Chang is very relaxed, however, his professionalism, and knowledge of his specialty, are immediately apparent. He takes time to explain the treatment, procedure, and expectations for follow up care. I would not hesitate to recommend him, and his staff, to anyone looking for advice and help with plastic surgery. Grateful we were referred to him by our dermatologist."
- Natalie B.
"I was very nervous to have any kind of filler used on my face. Dr. Chang's office made this experience about as wonderful as it could be. When I emailed to make a consultation appointment, I was met with an immediate reply, which was quickly transferred into a consultation. Upon my visit, I was greeted immediately and waited hardly any time at all. Finally, Dr. Chang's demeanor and attitude while seeing me were absolutely awesome. He treated me very respectfully and had a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed visiting with him during my consultation. So I decided to go ahead and get my lips filled after my consult during the same visit. It was great that they scheduled enough time to do that. So far my lips are looking amazing and I could not be more thrilled with the result. I'm hooked. DC is a big, intimidating area... finding professionals you enjoy working with is a big deal... especially for someone from a small town like myself. There are dozens of plastic surgeons in the area... but I am so glad I found Dr. Chang. I'm happy to support his practice and will definitely be referring anyone and everyone who asks to him."
- Megan M.
"This is not my first experience with Dr Chang and certainly not my last. I wouldn't want anyone else to touch my lips. Dr. Chang has an impeccable eye for achieving the perfect aesthetic look. He takes into consideration my goals for the procedure and treats me with professionalism and respect. Dr. Chang used 2 syringes of Volbella. I experienced less swelling with this product compared to products I've used in the past. The product looks smooth and natural in my lips. I experienced minimal to no bruising and went to dinner the same day I had the procedure done. Dr Changs technique is almost painless, I only experienced some mild discomfort. I couldn't be happier with the end result. I love the way my lips look and I love Dr. Chang."
- Maurey F.
"I am so happy with Dr. Chang and his staff. Everyone was pleasant, knowledgeable, and had my best interests in mind. I can tell they truly care about their patients and all of the work they put in lead to an easy procedure and recovery. The entire process was better than imagined and my results look fantastic. I got my procedure done on a morning before a holiday and Dr. Chang still checked in with me to make sure everything was going well, which was greatly appreciated! The comfort level with my doctor was the most important factor for me, and Dr. Chang and his staff definitely provide that in every way."
- Kimberly C.
"I appreciated Dr. Chang's care and expertise in solving a rather difficult situation concerning skin grafting on a large section of my nose. This was necessary to repair an area of multiple surgeries performed by another surgeon in the excision of skin cancers. I thank Dr. Chang for his excellent work."
- Lark L.
"Awesome experence all the way from presurgery through follow up. Dr. Chang always takes time to answer my questions and I never sit in the waiting room past appointment time. I would highly recommend Dr. Chang"

"Dr. Chang and staff were great!" - Anon
"Dr Chang is amazing, it was my first time ever doing any procedure so i was very nervous about getting lip fillers but Dr. Chang made me feel very relaxed and took the time to explain everything to me. He was very patient with me since i did have a lot of questions and concerns. Even after the procedure i emailed him questions and he was always so quick to respond. I will definitely be back for fillers or any other procedures i need in the future, and will be recommending him to all my family and friends!"
- Dee L.
"Dr. Chang is the best! I went to his office yesterday for lip augmentation and I am very very happy with the results! I was nervous and panicked like everyone else for the first time, but Dr. Chang made sure he walked me through everything. He knows what he is doing and he is very knowledgeable. On top of that he will be honest with you, but will do exactly what you want. The nurse and the rest of his staff was professional, nice, polite and provided a great customer service. I love my lips, it was painless and I will definitely go back to visit Dr. Chang again."
- Blanka B.

"I was referred to Dr Chang by my dermatologist to do a surgery on my scalp. I was very impressed with him and his staff. They were personable and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him."
- Patrick S.
"I met Dr. Chris Chang in the ER on May 4, 2015. I had suffered a concussion, a broken nose, large gash across the forehead and a split upper lip! Dr. Chang was outstanding, kind and gentle as he repaired my face. I think the best statement I can make about his work is that 6 weeks later people were telling me that I looked like nothing had happened at all. That is a great testament to his skill. During follow-up visits I found him to be most informative, answering every question and even fitting me in for an unscheduled visit. His office staff was at all times helpful, friendly, pleasant and courteous."
- Kathryn W.
"Alicia the esthetician is AMAZING! She gave me hands down the best microdermabrasion treatment I've ever experienced! She's so knowledgable about anything skin related that it instantly puts you at ease. She gave me a regimen to follow after the treatment and a ton of information about my keeping my skin looking great :) Dr. Chang is also amazing, I felt very comfortable after the consultation and my new lips look INCREDIBLE! Cannot recommend this place enough!! If I could give 100 stars I would!!"
- Rhonda E.
"Dr. Chang was able to see me the day I called and he spent time and explained my situation in great detail. He was careful to show me what to use on my scraped up face, gave me a list of things to get at the drug store and was very reassuring and kind. I could not have been more pleased. His office was attractive and calming, his staff very helpful and efficient. All in all it was a very pleasant introduction to the practice. I loved seeing the 3-D imaging and having it explained in great detail, It was fascinating, A very nice experience,"
- Mary C.
"I initially met Dr. Chang in the ER after my accident and from there set up appointments in his office for further treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Chang and his staff to individuals in need of a professional and experienced plastic surgeon in the DMV area. I had a great experience from the moment I entered his office - being greeted by his receptionist and assistant - both of which were very professional in all aspects of their job. I was very insecure and worrisome about my recent facial scar but Dr. Chang and his assistant were very reassuring in all of my concerns. The entire staff was very personable - which is something very important to a patient being treated with facial wounds. Dr. Chang had more than gladly addressed all of my concerns and questions about the entire process - I never felt pressured or rushed during my appointments - something that most patients have a conflict with in seeing their physicians. Aside from that, I have received excellent medical care and within 4 months have seen phenomenal results in my recovery. Dr. Chang is an expert in his field and I highly recommend him to all inquiring individuals. Thank you."
- Bona G.
"I had had a pretty significant orbital break and blowout on Sunday Aug 30, 2015. Dr. Chang was absolutely wonderful from the initial diagnose and discussion, pre-op, post-op, hospital visits and follow-ups, and many post-op office visits and emails to both me and my wife. Dr. Chang did an excellent job with my surgery. People cannot tell I had the accident at all, which could have left me visibly disfigured if not for Dr. Chang's excellent surgical skills. Dr. Chang was also genuinely concerned in my healing progress making time for many follow up appointments, sending many emails on my progress and healing process, and contacting my strabismus specialist several times to consult with her on my care. Dr. Change was always very kind and patient, never making my wife and I feel rushed, nor did we ever sense he was rushed. He always calmly, clearly, and professionally answered any and all of our questions. He was very quick to answer emails, usually the same day. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Chang for taking such wonderful care of me!"
- Sean C.
"I had breast implant and lift revision surgery with Dr. Chang. The entire experience was so positive. The office staff couldn't have been more helpful each time I called for appointments and/or questions. Dr. Chang made me comfortable right from the start. His nurse Kelly was very informative and comforting, and helped me with a few of my decisions. Dr. Chang took the time to understand my concerns, and to understand completely what my expectations were. I had things about my first surgery that I was not pleased with, and he made a point to make sure these issues were corrected. In the end, I am 100% satisfied with my results. I couldn't be happier. I am glad for the relationship I have formed with this practice. If I ever have a need for their services in the future I would not hesitate to go to Dr. Chang."

"I am writing this review for Dr. Chang behalf my dad, who underwent a major reconstructive surgery after the removal of stage 4 oral cancer. Dr. Chang is the BEST doctor in the entire DMV area, in fact on the entire east coast. He is very professional but personable and caring at the same time. My dad was hospitalized for a month and no matter how busy Dr. Chang was he came to check on my dad almost every single day (even on the weekends) to make sure he was healing well. When my dad was discharged from the hospital he provided us with his cell phone number to contact him if my dad was experiencing any problems or for any other concerns. When we did contact Dr. Chang on his cell phone, a number of different times, he was very prompt w/his response. My dad couldn’t have asked for a better doctor and he says he would feel comfortable having Dr. Chang perform any surgery on him. We trust his judgment 100%. Also, he always answered a million of our questions thoroughly and really took his time to make sure that we completely understood what we were asking and ensured us that everything was going to be ok. My dad has been seeing Dr. Chang for his follow ups at the office and I must say the staff at his office is so welcoming and friendly. Also, he always works with you to schedule your appointment even if he has meetings set for a day that works for the patient but not him he will make sure to squeeze you in for an appointment for the day you asked for. There is no doubt he cares for his patients and always puts them first. Our experience with Dr. Chang from his practice to the surgical room has been PERFECT!!! We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Chang and his great work ethics and off course his wonderful team. You are truly a blessing to the field of medicine and we really appreciate all that you have done for our family. Last but not least, if you ever have to undergo a plastic surgery just know that DR.CHANG IS THE ONE!!! Thank you so much for everything Dr. Chang and the entire team."

"I have never felt so confident. Dr. Chang completely changed how I saw myself in the mirror. I was terribly self conscious of my nose from my youth and finally decided to go through with the surgery. Not only was it inexpensive compared to the other three doctors I contacted, the before and after pictures of patients were also much better looking than the others! The whole process of surgery and recovery was quick and pretty much painless. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting cosmetic surgery. It really made me a happier person." - Catherine M.
"My son was in a terrible accident with most of the bones in his face and skull broken... I don't know what I would have done without Dr Chang!! My son is fully recovered and back to his old self again. I love Dr Chang, he will be in my prayers for the rest of my life. Thank you!" - Elizabeth A.
"I cannot say enough about my surgery with Dr. Chang! I had full facial Rejuvenation including a facelift brow lift and upper eyelids done 4 months ago. I also had a chemical peel to my lower eyelids and mouth. They was barely any pain and I was back to work the next week! I am so thrilled and my friends are so impressed. I cannot say enough about my experience! He is both caring and an amazing surgeon! Thank you so much!" - Cathy W.
The entire experience and outcome was everything I hoped for and I cannot thank Dr. Chang enough! He is a true pro and I recommend 100% without reservation!" - Ashley R.
"I went to Dr. Chang to correct the damage done to my breasts from pregnancy and breastfeeding. He went above and beyond to make me comfortable and to explain exactly what the procedures (lift + implants) would entail. He was extremely responsive and truly understood the look that I was trying to achieve - full, natural for my frame, and with minimal scarring. I'm only two days out from surgery and I'm already loving my results. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Chang to restore my chest to its pre-baby appearance. I actually think they are going to be better than they ever were before I had kids!" - Emily L.
