I had a DIEP flap breast reconstruction performed by Dr. Tseng, and I could not be more pleased with the entire experience and outcome. From our initial consultation, Dr. Tseng was thorough in explaining the procedure, including the risks, recovery timeline, and expected results. He took the time to answer all of my questions, which made me feel confident and well-informed going into surgery. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the post-operative care I received from Dr. Tseng and his team was exceptional. He monitored my recovery closely, ensured I was healing well, and was always accessible for any concerns I had. His surgical skill is evident in the outcome—my results are natural-looking and exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciated his attention to both function and aesthetics. Dr. Tseng’s professionalism, surgical expertise, and compassionate care made a complex procedure feel manageable. I am incredibly thankful to have had him as my surgeon and would highly recommend him to anyone considering breast reconstruction.

I was referred to Dr. Tseng by my breast specialist, Dr. Thompson. I recently went through treatment for triple negative breast cancer. Received 16 rounds of chemo, followed by double mastectomy with expander reconstruction, then implant exchange. I am SO happy with my new reconstructed breasts. And recommend Tseng for anyone looking for the best cosmetic results. I did not expect much from expanders, but even those looked amazing! I recently had them exchanged for permanent implants and am so pleased! The worst part about the whole process was the drains. But once those came out, I had just about no pain. I have some rippling, but only in certain positions. My new breasts look as if I had a breast augmentation! Thank you, Dr. Tseng for making reconstruction a silver lining to breast cancer!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Tseng. He performed a DIEP flap breast reconstruction for me after my mastectomy, and the results are nothing short of amazing. Dr. Tseng's skill and artistry are unparalleled. He is not just a surgeon—he's truly an artist with his craft. The results are so natural and beautiful that it's hard to believe what he's accomplished. From our first consultation, he was compassionate, attentive, and took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, answering all my questions with patience. Thanks to Dr. Tseng, I feel whole again, and my confidence has been restored.

I chose Dr Tseng because of the high reviews and the positive comments I saw when I was searching for a Doctor to perform DIEP flap reconstruction. I was 100% pleased and satisfied with my choice. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Tseng two weeks after I finished treatment for breast cancer. Dr Tseng was positive, he explained my options, and was willing to do what I asked for. At that point I did not have a surgeon lined up to do the bilateral mastectomy. Not only did Dr Tseng have a recommendation for me, but he got me an appointment with the surgeon the same day! At my pre-op appointment, Dr Tseng explained what he would do and answered all the questions I had. My surgery took twelve hours. I am so happy with the results. Dr. Tseng did a wonderful job. I stayed at UCLA hospital for a few days after surgery. When the nurses and other staff came to examine me, they all commented that they could tell it was Dr. Tseng that did my surgery, because he is a perfectionist and does such a great job. I highly recommend Dr. Tseng. He and his staff are caring, and professional. I am so happy that I chose the best doctor for DIEP flap surgery.

There are not enough stars for Dr. Tseng! His vast expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and absolute artistry are beyond compare. Last year, at 35, I learned that I had breast cancer. Given my small frame and unusually large tumor, one surgeon went so far as to decline my case. Then, I met Dr. Tseng, who willingly presented different possibilities for reconstruction and gave me hope that I could look normal again. Now, one-month post surgery, I could not be more pleased with the results. His skill and elegant eye made the impossible, possible. Dr. Tseng is exceptional! My family and I will always be grateful for his care.
