Welcome To The Home For Plastic Surgery In San Diego

Here in Southern California, there are certainly no shortages of plastic surgeons, especially in La Jolla. Supply and demand; there are more men and women in San Diego seeking the benefits of plastic surgery, so there are more and more plastic surgeons. Unfortunately, not all plastic surgeons are the same – they lack Dr. Richard Chaffoo's experience; they lack his full menu of body contouring and facial sculpting options; and, worse yet, they lack his credentials, because the fact is not all those offering plastic surgery are actually plastic surgeons!

If you live in La Jolla, Temecula or Riverside, contact triple board certified San Diego plastic surgeon Richard Chaffoo, MD, FACS, FICS. Request your complimentary La Jolla consultation or call now at 858-587-9850. If you're near Temecula, request your complimentary Temecula consultation or call 951-506-1040 for an appointment.

  • The Initial Consultation: This isn't your typical "doctor's appointment," and San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Chaffoo is not your typical doctor. Why? Because there's no such thing as a typical patient. You're an individual, so you will be treated like one; you will be given all of the time you need to honestly express your unique goals and expectations, and in turn, Dr. Chaffoo will provide you with expert, honest advice based on his years of experience of exceeding the expectations of San Diegans before you who also sought plastic surgery.
  • Meet Our Patient Coordinator: If you're new to plastic surgery, you'll want someone to walk you through the entire process. You'll want someone who's experienced and easy to talk to. You'll want someone who can answer your questions and provide you with the information you need. And, you'll want someone who's been in your shoes – you'll want a Patient Coordinator, and you'll be glad to know that Dr. Chaffoo actually has four, two in each of his Temecula and La Jolla plastic surgery centers. And here's something else you'll want to know – while all four work with Dr. Chaffoo, they really work for you.
  • Computer Imaging: It's as easy as getting your picture taken, but instead of having a photo to remind you of the past, advanced software allows you to see what you might look like in the future, following plastic surgery such as rhinoplasty or a facelift. And, CI allows Dr. Chaffoo gets a better idea of what you're looking for. It's just one of the many cutting edge tools the plastic surgeon has to help his La Jolla patients make an informed decision about plastic surgery in San Diego. And, computer imaging is absolutely free as part of your complimentary consultation at his La Jolla office.
  • Preparing For Surgery: Before you commit to making a positive change in how you look, you might need to make a positive change in how you live. Don't worry, although the effects of plastic surgery can be long lasting, preparing for surgery is temporary.
  • Post Operative Care: You desire results; you shouldn't have to hope for a safe outcome. For Dr. Chaffoo, nothing is more important than your care and safety – before, during and following your surgery. Learn more about the procedures and personnel in place not only to far exceed your expectations, but to also ensure a safe, successful outcome and a full, speedy recovery.
