You are probably picturing an operating room. Most of this happens in an exam room, under local anesthetic, in about half an hour.
Whether something can be handled here in the office depends on its size, where it is and the risk involved. Dr. Chin makes that call at your consultation, after he has examined the area.
Botox and fillers are injected by Dr. Chin himself, not delegated. Laser resurfacing and the elective operations are his work too, done to the same standard as everything else in this office. All of it sits on the procedures page with the rest of what he does.
Plastic Surgery is all about aligning a person’s outer beauty with their inner sense of self.
Dr. Chin
You book a consultation. Dr. Chin examines the area, tells you what he would do and why, and decides whether it can be handled here in the office. Where the reason for treating it is medical, we bill your insurer. Where it is cosmetic, it is paid out of pocket. Workers compensation and lien cases are routine here.
Dr. Chin works as a non-treating expert. He performs Qualified and Agreed Medical Evaluations, fit-for-duty and Jones Act evaluations, and Department of Labor disability evaluations. He testifies at deposition and at trial, and he remains impartial toward both applicant and defense.

Besides being a highly skilled surgeon, Dr. Chin and his staff were active listeners. They were always welcoming and truly concerned about my health.
Dr. Chin and his office staff exceeded even my highest expectations.
