“Dr.Chen and his staff are amazing! They made the entire process of getting a breast augmentation easy and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the process. I’m extremely happy with the results.”
“I have nothing but good things to say about this place, especially Dr. Knotts , I am almost 4 weeks post op from my breast augmentation, and I couldn’t be any happier with my results. From the first consultation I felt very comfortable with dr Knotts , he was very friendly, professional and most importantly very honest. (Which is what you want) if you ask me. I told him what I wanted and he listened attentively, was nervous day of the surgery and he talked me through the process helped me feel better about what would be happening and what to expect, later that same day he called me to make sure I was doing ok, which also showed me he truly cares about his patients. his work is AMAZING! I got the results I wanted exactly. This was my first surgery but when time comes for replacement surgery or anything else I might have in mind, I will 100% come back to Dr Knotts. I will be sending everyone I know to him.”
“I had my breast explant surgery done at the Plastic Surgery Institute of New Mexico with Dr. Knotts, and I truly could not be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, Dr. Knotts took the time to carefully measure everything to ensure my breasts would be as even and symmetrical as possible. His attention to detail and precision really stood out to me. During my consultation, he thoroughly explained all of my options and the different methods we could use, which made me feel informed, comfortable, and confident in my decision. I had consultations with other plastic surgeons beforehand, and Dr. Knotts surpassed them all by far. His nursing staff was also incredible — professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and so kind throughout the entire process. Everything was handled with such cleanliness and care, and I felt genuinely supported the whole time. One thing that especially meant a lot to me was that Dr. Knotts personally called me after surgery to check on how I was feeling and make sure I was okay. That level of compassion and dedication is rare. The anesthesiologist was also very sweet and explaining the process of how I was gonna fall asleep. I’m so grateful to Dr. Knotts and the entire team at the Plastic Surgery Institute of New Mexico for making this such a positive experience. I highly recommend them to anyone considering explant surgery or plastic surgery in general.Side note my sister went with me to the following Day consultation to meet the doctor because upon seeing how I was treated, she definitely would love to get a breast reduction with Dr Knotts and his plastic surgery team. I will forever trust them with my face my body. Or in years to come, my mom’s face lift lol amazing doctor amazing team !”
“Dr. Wu is truly one of the best surgeons. I had a tummy tuck along with fat grafting from my stomach to my breasts, and the results have exceeded my expectations. From the first consultation, he took his time, listened carefully to my concerns, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. My incision healed beautifully and looks amazing — honestly a 10 out of 10. His attention to detail and surgical skill really show in the results. I’m so grateful I chose him and would highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.”
“I had a breast lift and liposuction after a significant weight loss of 60lbs and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the first consultation, Dr. Knotts was incredibly thorough and made me feel comfortable. He explained every step and set realistic expectations. The results look natural and proportional to my body, which was exactly what I wanted. I don’t need a perfect body but wanted my confidence back in line with my hard work in weight loss and new muscle tone from my consistent workouts and training. I was back in the gym two weeks post surgery getting in movement while slowly incorporating heavier weights. Recovery was manageable, not easy. Do your research and take notes. Listen to the surgeon for the best results! Performing lymphatic self massage following videos and hiring a masseuse who specializes in post surgery scar tissue management and lymphatic massage was worth every penny. The surgery staff was also very supportive throughout the process with my questions and documentation for work. It did take a few months for the swelling to go down, but the final outcome was absolutely worth it. Patience required. I highly recommend Dr. Knotts at Plastic Surgery Institute!”
