About Us

A major paradigm shift is evolving in the field of cosmetic surgery.   People nowadays demand for a more natural cosmetic rejuvenation through minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.  Most of us are intolerant to any downtime whilst wanting to avert the risks of surgery.  This is the momentum behind the formation of a new specialty - Aesthetic Medicine. 

The evolution of aesthetic medicine is tied to numerous major technological breakthroughs which allow the delivery of significant cosmetic enhancements, all without the downtime and risks associated with surgery.

Large numbers of plastic surgeons are flocking to medical conferences to learn about the latest "non-surgical" rejuvenation techniques due to public demands.  Recently, at a prestigious national plastic surgery conference, a prominent professor in plastic surgery was urging fellow plastic surgeons to move quickly into the arena of "non-surgical" rejuvenations and overlook the fact that they are “surgeons wanting to do surgery.”  The irony is that these "surgically trained" plastic surgeons are actively learning and adopting various "non-surgical" procedures into their “surgical practice.”  What they are hoping for is to use these non-surgical services to lure a patient in but ultimately re-directing these patients towards surgery. 

Dr. Chiang has devoted his entire practice to the field of Aesthetic Medicine, and uses various non-surgical cosmetic techniques to help his patients gain a more youthful appearance.  If surgical correction appears to be the appropriate solution for a patient’s concern, Dr. Chiang would candidly refer that patient to a reputable Cosmetic Surgeon for surgery. 

Knowing when a patient should undergo “the knife” versus “non-surgical” treatment is an art and ultimately depends on the philosophy of each practice.  The decision to select surgery versus non-surgical cosmetic enhancements can only be deduced after a candid and thorough discussion with each patient about the advantages and limitations of various procedures.  Some of the issues to be considered are costs, tolerance to downtime, surgical risks, and the efficacy of the procedure.  

When Dr. Chiang evaluates a patient for cosmetic rejuvenation, he uses the Four R's of aesthetics to formulate a treatment plan:
            1          Relax (with Botox)
            2          Restore (with various dermal fillers to restore the facial contours of youth)
            3          Resurface (resolve complexion and wrinkle problems)
            4          Re-drape (using various non-surgical suture-based facelift techniques)

Highlights of Dr. Chiang's training in Aesthetic Medicine

Dr. Chiang was trained by some of the top experts in the field of cosmetic surgery and cosmetic dermatology:
Dr. Chiang started his career in the field of aesthetic medicine in 2003 when he completed an intense training course taught by Dr. Mulholland and Dr. Patrick Bitter Jr. on Fotofacial-RF Treatments.

Since then, Dr. Chiang had trained under the world-renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr. Pierre Fournier (accredited to be the "Father of Liposuction") on syringe tumescent liposuction, autologous fat grafting, and non-surgical face lifts in 2005. 

Dr. Chiang was one of the first doctors in the country to offer the advanced Fraxel Laser Treatment back in 2005.  Dr. Chiang started using the Fraxel Laser after consulting with Dr. Henry Chan, World-renowned expert and Ex-Chief of Dermatology at Hong Kong University, about his clinical experience and published work on Fraxel Laser Treatments among Asians.  When treating an Asian patient, Dr. Chiang uses Dr. Chan's unique protocol for Fraxel Laser Treatments tailored specifically for Asian skin.

Dr. Chiang was the first doctor in the country to be personally trained by Nicanor G. Isse, MD (the co-inventor of the Silhouette Sutures) to utilize Silhouette Sutures in non-surgical facelifts (12/06) since its FDA approval (11/06).  Dr. Isse had also trained Dr. Chiang in endoscopic brow lifts, and other minimally invasive face-lifting techniques.

In 07/06, after being personally trained by Dr. Sorin Eremia, Chief of Cosmetic Surgery at UCLA, Dr. Chiang became the first doctor in North Texas to implement the Eremia-Designed Anchor Sutures in non-surgical facelifts.  Dr. Chiang has since then combined different types of medical sutures to enhance the results of his non-surgical facelifts.

Dr. Chiang had traveled to Mexico in 3/07 to learn first-hand from the inventor of the "Corset Sutures" - Dr. Fernando Urrutia on the techniques of implementing the Corset Sutures.  Dr. Chiang is one of the first doctors in the country who started using Corset Sutures with laser lipoplasty.

In 2006, Dr. Chiang had completed further training at the most prestigious dermatologic surgery training course in the country - Dr. Hugh Greenway's 23rd Superficial Anatomy and Cutaneous Surgery at UCSD which is widely recognized as to set the Gold Standards in dermatologic and cosmetic surgery, and is taught by some of the brightest and most innovative leaders in the field.  Dr. Chiang trained along with some of the best cosmetic surgeons in the world at this prestigious and intense training program.

Just recently, Dr. Chiang was the proud recipient for the Award of Excellence in Medical Education in Cosmetic Surgery awarded by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) as recognition of Dr. Chiang's incessant effort to further his training in cosmetic surgery over the past 3 years.

Dr. Chiang is also an elected fellow to the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS).  He is Dual-Boarded by the American Board of Laser Surgery and the American Board of Internal Medicine.  Dr. Chiang is a member of the American Society of Liposuction Surgery, American Society of Aesthetic Lipodissolve, International Society of Cosmetic Laser and Surgery, and American Society of Non-Surgical Aesthetics.
 
It is Dr. Chiang's passion to offer the most innovative skin rejuvenation techniques to help his patients regain their youthful appearance.
