Breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as a "breast aug" or "boob job" by patients, involves using breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size of your breasts. This procedure can also restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape or improve natural breast size asymmetry.
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals.
Reduces the wrinkle lines that develop horizontally across the forehead, as well as those that occur on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. The loss of youthful contours in the face can be due to variety of factors, including thinning of the skin, loss of facial fat, gravity, sun damage, smoking, as well as heredity and stress.

I had an appointment with Dr. Chase well over a year. I have silicone breast implants that are 46 years old and need removal. They are both leaking silicone into my body as well as the toxic chemicals that contained the implants. As a result of all these toxins in my body I am extremely sick. I met with Dr. Chase and described to him the symptoms I was experiencing. With no imaging studies or other tests they scheduled me for surgery. I called his office and asked what time I needed to be at the surgery center. They gave me incorrect information which made surgery for that day impossible. I called

I had gone to a couple of different consultations from different doctors around the city and I knew that the moment I stepped into Dr Chase's office, and met him and his friendly staff, that he was the doctor to perform my surgery. His staff went above and beyond before during and after my procedure and I'm extremely happy with my results. I will definitely be a repeat customer! A big thank you to the doctors and staff at Associates in Plastic Surgery!

I had a suspicious biopsy at the dermatologist for a potential melanoma that showed up on one of my ears. Turns out, ears are difficult areas to operate on in order to get wide margins due to their particular anatomy. We chose Dr. McCord knowing that I had one shot at getting it done right and knowing my ear needed to be put back together after removing the offending spot and cartilage. We were so very pleased!!! She was very calming, most easy to talk to, and very competant. I was very pleased with the outcome ! I ended up having to have it done at the hospital, but it all went off completely

Amazing service. Dr. McCord is a true professional that cares for each and every patient as if they were family. I've had bad treatment at another doctor's office, and Dr. McCord repaired the damage that the other doctor had caused and ensured that everything healed well. When you need work done, accept no substitutes.

Had a recurring spot of cancer on my nose. One butcher had already done office surgery and botched it. (Nurse Practitioner) It came back with a vengeance. Second butcher (Made appointment with another Doctor got a Nurse Practitioner) was going to do office surgery again. Luckily I refused and sought a referral. The "spot" they were going to remove turned out to be over 2cm in size and engulfed my entire nostril. Dr. McCord is FANTASTIC!!!! She caught the problem immediately, fixed it and accommodated my terrible work schedule. She made this horrible experience like checking into a 4-star hotel

Dr. Chase did exactly what I wanted & the results were better than I expected ! My entire experience was pain free, very private & comfortable. Dr. Chase has a kind & gentle demeanor that puts you at ease. His work makes you look natural & rested. No tight lips or wide eyes . My only regret is that I was too embarrassed to go for the consult, until I complimented a friend on how refreshed she looked. She told me about Dr. Chase & about some mutual friends who had been to Dr. Chase. All of our friends look wonderful ! I'm so glad that I went to Dr. Chase ! If you're considering going for a consult
