Reviews for Blepharoplasty Procedures in Pittsburgh, PA

Fantastic surgeon - I couldn’t be happier with my new nose! It fits the rest of my face - When I was considering rhinoplasty seriously a couple of years ago it took me a while to find a surgeon I could trust and had the right credentials. I went to three surgeons, including Dr. Chiu, and found him to be the best fit. Dr. Chiu is incredibly realistic when it comes to bringing harmony to the face and took the time to explain what would work the best not only aesthetically but also for my overall health. For rhinoplasty, you want to look good but still be able to breathe normally. Rhinoplasty is his speciality and after having this procedure done by Dr. Chiu I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking this procedure. He considered my total facial structure in his renderings to give me an idea what my new nose would look like. Our goal was to take the focus away from my nose; I no longer wanted that feature to be where everyone’s eyes were drawn.Dr. Chiu does his surgeries at Upper St. Clair hospital and only has the best surgical staff working with him. I was well taken care of and was in surgery for approximately four hours. Following surgery, I was released to go home to recover. I was expecting some discomfort the first night; however, my discomfort was not from any pain but from having to sleep upright. I prescribed some pain medication but I never needed it. I suffered from ZERO bruising! Most post-op photos show significant bruising from rhinoplasty, but I did not have a single one. I was swollen, puffy, and a tad stiff for a while following the procedure but experiencing no pain. I was able to return to work less than 7 days following the procedure and very few people were able to tell I had something done due to lack of bruising.It took about one year for the results of the surgery to settle in, and Dr. Chiu did emphasize that would indeed be the case. It has been 13 months at the time of this post, and I couldn’t be happier with my new nose! It fits the rest of my face, I have full functionality (no issues breathing), and you cannot see the small incision at all. Dr. Chiu is incredibly thorough and highly skilled. What I respect most about him and his practice, though, is that he gives you realistic expectations and explains the why/how to his methods. If you are seeking natural and harmonizing results for your looks, Dr. Chiu should absolutely be at the top of your list!I also want to point out that Sara is wonderful! She makes sure you have every piece of information you could possibly need from scheduling, financing, and answers all questions promptly. I am so glad to have chosen to trust Dr. Chiu and Sara with my face! I will be a lifelong customer as I continue through life and the aging process. More

Thank You Dr. Chiu and Sara - Had an amazing experience with facelift and eyelid lift with Dr. Chiu. He has an excellent bedside manner, and the procedure went well.I had minimal edema and bruising, and only required a few Tylenol post op. The results very much exceeded my expectations. More

I’m very glad I went ahead and had the procedure. Was not painful at all. Results are way beyond my expectations! More

When I decided to finally go through with my rhinoplasty, I asked everybody for the best surgeon. I even asked other doctors and plastics surgeons. They all recommended Dr. Chiu. When I went to my consult, he gave me realistic expectations for the result and post-op recovery. However, he completely exceeded all of my expectations. My nose is exactly how I wanted it to look and my recovery was painless! On top of that, my breathing has improved. I had zero pain and little to no bruising or swelling. I was amazed at how good I felt. I have never seen a recovery like my own or his other patients. I was so convinced that for weeks after surgery I was going to have huge black eyes with massive amounts of swelling, and it just never happened! I highly recommend Dr. Chiu as a trusted facial plastic surgeon for your best result! More

At age 65 I had enough of the droopy upper eyelids! The right was even worse then the left. Consulted my local doctors and was told that I was a good candidate for blepharoplasty. I was warned by my personal physician of the recovery and how I would look right after the procedure with bruising, swelling, etc... Dr. Chiu was recommended as one of the best for the LEAST amount of pain, etc... He is over a 3 hour drive from where I live and it is well worth it. I was given several instructions of what to eat and do/don't do before and after the procedure. I followed his instructions as written and to everyone's surprise I had NO pain, no bruising, and very little swelling. My recovery was very fast and I was out in the public the day after without any concern as to how I looked with a couple of small bandages. My own physician was shocked as to how great I already looked right after surgery! I have had so many compliments on how great I look now...all thanks to Dr. Robert Chiu! I would recommend Dr. Chiu to everyone! More

Love my fresh eyes! - For years I was very self conscious about my puffy eyes. I felt like I always looked tired even when I wasn’t and my makeup bag was filled with concealer products that I had to use several times a day. Dr Chiu did my upper and lower blepharoplasty in early December. I followed his instructions carefully (sleeping in a recliner, cool packs, etc.) Amazingly, I had almost no bruising and very little swelling immediately post surgery. I was able to resume working from home after four days and started going to the office in ten days. To my surprise no one seemed to notice I had surgery even though I was not able to wear make up yet. Now, three months post surgery, I look ten years younger and I am so happy knowing my eye bags are gone forever. People who don't know I had the procedure most often comment that they “love my hair cut” or that I “look great” but I feel like my eyes look so natural that no one guesses that I had surgery! More

My upper and lower eyelids were done on a Friday, out and about town in a few days. There was absolutely no pain involved during or after the surgery. Some bruising appeared under my eyes, but with cover up provided by Sara I did go back to work a week later. I could have gone back much sooner, but decided to hide for a while. I will not hesitate to recommend Dr. Chiu for any procedure on the face. More

Eyelids Done 7 Years Ago and Still Looking Really Good. - My upper and lower eyelids were done on a Friday, out and about town in a few days.

Eyelids Done 7 Years Ago and Still Looking Really Good. - I have been treating with Dr. Chiu since 2011. All of my appointments and treatments have been great. Many of my friends and family have come to open houses at his office, and several have been or are being treated by Dr. Chiu. Sara is wonderful as well. Dr. Chiu is very conservative with any treatment or surgery. From going to his many open houses over the years, I have met with lots of his patients. Everyone is very happy and looks fresh, not like these movie stars. He will not overdo anything. Dr. Chiu and Sara give clear and concise instructions prior to surgery and/or treatments. Following these instructions is important to achieve the best outcome possible. More
