"The process itself was effortless and I recovered really quickly from the surgery." —Tara, Ventura, CA

The reason I got surgery was because I watched the show Catfish and a person had weight loss surgery. She looked great. That's when I started looking into surgery. The process was perfect. Dr. Chen and Seu Na were warm and super sweet. The process itself was effortless and I recovered really quickly from the surgery.

Dr. Chen was always excited to see my progress. I literally recommend it to everyone, my friend is getting her surgery in April. Surgery is a lot of work, it doesn't fix everything but I would do it 1000 times over.
