Facial Plastic Surgery
When the face looking back at you no longer reflects how you feel, facial plastic surgery can help restore balance, definition, and confidence. At VedaNu Wellness in San Diego, board-certified plastic surgeon James Chao, MD, FACS brings more than 25 years of experience to a personalized approach focused on refined, natural-looking results.
From facelift and neck lift surgery to rhinoplasty, brow lift, and eyelid surgery, facial procedures are thoughtfully tailored to your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and individual features—with an emphasis on results that look refreshed rather than overdone.
Breast Surgery
Breast surgery is deeply personal. Whether your goal is to enhance volume, restore shape, improve symmetry, or address changes from pregnancy, aging, or previous surgery, your treatment should reflect your body and your vision—not a one-size-fits-all ideal.
Our comprehensive breast surgery options in San Diego are tailored to your anatomy, proportions, lifestyle, and desired outcome. From subtle enhancement to more complex revision procedures, Dr. Chao takes an individualized approach centered on balance, proportion, and natural-looking results.
“At VedaNu Wellness, we believe feeling your best goes beyond appearance. Our approach brings together expert surgical care, advanced wellness solutions, and personalized treatment to help every patient look, feel, and live with greater confidence.”
Body Contouring Surgery
Body contouring surgery offers a personalized way to reshape, refine, and enhance your natural proportions. Whether you’re looking to restore your figure after pregnancy or weight loss, address areas resistant to diet and exercise, or simply feel more confident in your shape, treatment begins with understanding your individual goals.
At VedaNu Wellness, our approach to body contouring surgery in San Diego combines thoughtful surgical planning with an emphasis on balance and natural-looking results. Dr. Chao offers a wide range of body procedures, with each surgical plan customized to your anatomy, lifestyle, and desired outcome.
