Medical Weight Loss
Following weight reduction surgery, or any substantial amount of weight loss, the skin and tissues often lack elasticity and cannot conform to the reduced body size. As a result, skin that has been severely stretched now is unsupported...

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Mostly like what you see, but wish you could just fix that one little flaw that has always bothered you? Are you frustrated by the slow progress of your diet and exercise plan, and wish you could just get rid of those last five pounds? Do you wish you looked just right in that special outfit? Unfortunately, our ability to change the shape and contours of the body can be frustratingly limited. Our physique is dictated primarily by genetics, and can be impacted by many factors beyond our control, such as the natural aging process, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy/childbirth, injury, and even significant fluctuations in weight. These factors lead to stubborn fatty deposits and unsightly bulges, loose/saggy skin, uneven body contours, and other aesthetic problems that cannot be fixed by dieting, exercising, or healthy lifestyle choices.

Anxiety

Ultrasound
Liposuction techniques have advanced significantly over the past decade, and now include power-assisted, ultrasound-assisted, and laser-assisted techniques, in addition to the traditional suction-assisted method. The average liposuction procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes 1-3 hours to perform; however, this time frame can vary significantly, depending upon the size and number of areas to be treated, and whether or not ancillary procedures are being performed simultaneously.

General Surgery
Loma Linda University, followed by numerous prestigious medical fellowships in General Surgery, Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, and Burn Reconstruction at renowned institutions across the United States, including the
Ear Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies, although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Injectable fillers offer powerful, non-surgical rejuvenation for individuals who are distressed at the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Some injectables, such as BOTOXÂ®, target wrinkles by minimizing the repeated muscle contractions that cause dry, inelastic, aging skin to fold and wrinkle. Other injectablesâ€”dermal fillersâ€”work by replenishing critical compounds in the skin that enable the skin to remain hydrated, replace old and damaged skin cells, and develop a firm internal support structure. As our aging skin naturally loses these compounds, dermal fillers utilize either organically-derived or synthetic replacements to restore lost volume, fill in wrinkles, and give the skin a youthful, fresh glow. Injectable treatments can be completed in a lunchtime visit, and do not need anesthesia or downtime.
Brow Lift
Cheek, chin, and nasal implant surgeries can all be performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia, utilizing similar surgical techniques and patterns. When performed as a solo procedure, facial implant surgery typically takes between 1-2 hours (this time frame increases when ancillary facial rejuvenation surgery, such as brow lift or eyelid lift surgery, is performed at the same time).
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fatty tissue responsible for creating the appearance of droopy, deflated eyelids, followed by the tightening and lifting of the eyelid musculature. These techniques serve to significantly improve the symmetry and overall aesthetic appeal of the face and reverse the effects of time to restore a youthful, refreshed, and well-rested appearance.
Liposuction
At the conclusion of your surgery, Dr. Vu will carefully suture the incisions closed and apply a sterile dressing and compression garment to minimize swelling. Most patients are able to return to work within a few days, and can resume all of their normal activities when it is comfortable to do so. The aesthetic benefits of your liposuction surgery will become apparent as soon as the post-surgical swelling and fluid retention have subsided.
Breast Augmentation
In order to ensure that your surgery will result in breasts that match your frame and look natural while minimizing the risk of uncomfortable complications such as capsular contracture, it is critical to select a surgeon who understands the importance of individuality. Dr. Vu is a Board Certified plastic surgeon with the extensive training and surgical experience necessary to ensure that your surgery is as safe, comfortable, and successful as possible, and with the commitment to the highest possible code of ethics necessary to help you develop a customized surgical plan that is uniquely designed to match your anatomy, medical history, and physique. Breast augmentation surgery cannot be successful with a â€œcookie-cutterâ€ approach; instead, Dr. Vuâ€™s personalized planning process will ensure that you leave his office completely satisfied with your natural-looking breasts, your enhanced profile, and your beautiful new physique!
Breast Reduction
The goal of breast reduction surgery is to eliminate the physical and emotional symptoms of macromastia (enlarged breasts) by surgically reducing the breasts to a size and shape that is appropriate for the patientâ€™s natural body frame and desired physique. Enlarged breasts can lead to a number of serious medical conditions, including but not limited to: poor posture, back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, numbness in the hands and arms, insomnia, difficulty breathing, rashes, and cystic breast infections. And the emotional problems associated with macromastia can be just as severe, stemming from the inability to find bras and clothes that fit appropriately, weight gain due to the inability to exercise properly, and embarrassment when encountering stares and inappropriate comments.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery, also known as Mastopexy, is designed to correct ptosis, or breast sagging caused by gravity, pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight changes, and the natural aging process. There are four mastopexy options; the appropriate option will be highly dependent on each patientâ€™s individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the severity of the ptosis.
Rhinoplasty
Because of its central location in the middle of the face, the nose has a dramatic impact on our overall appearance, and can add or detract significantly to the harmony and balance of the entire face. For individuals who are unhappy with the size or shape of their nose, rhinoplasty (nasal reshaping surgery) can be a life-altering procedure. Rhinoplasty is performed to surgically reduce, enhance, or correct the shape of the nose to improve the proportional balance of the face. If you are unhappy with the results of a prior nasal surgery, a secondary procedure known as Revision Rhinoplasty can help to correct the defects caused by the original surgery.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction can involve the creation of one breast to exactly match the existing breast or the creation of completely new breast and nipple-areola complexes for both breasts. Reconstruction usually involves the use of silicone or saline implants to give the new breasts the appropriate size and fullness. However, because many patients do not have enough natural breast tissue left after the mastectomy to support implants, breast reconstruction usually also involves a â€œflapâ€ procedure, in which muscle and tissue are transferred from the abdomen or buttocks to recreate a natural breast mound. The most commonly used flap techniques are the DIEP (deep inferio epigastric perforator) flap and the TMG (transverse myocutaneous gracilis) flap procedures. The breast reconstruction procedure may also involve the use of tissue expanders, which help the patientâ€™s own body create enough new skin to minimize scarring and ensure that the breasts looks and feel as natural as possible. The exact surgical technique will be custom-tailored for each individual patient, depending on her medical history, unique anatomy, and aesthetic goals.
Plastic Surgery
The procedures necessary to achieve your goals will be defined along with a plan for the timing of these procedures. Plastic surgery procedures that may be recommended by your physician include...
Thigh Lift
There are a wide variety of plastic surgery procedures, such as Thigh Lift, that our practice performs. Please contact us if you are interested in receiving more information on this particular procedure.
Face Lift
Because of its fragile structural composition and complex anatomy, your face is highly vulnerable to the damaging effects of the environment (i.e. sun damage) and the natural aging process. Despite the vast number of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options that have developed over the past ten years, facelift surgery has remained the most effective, long-term solution to correct many of the visible signs of facial aging, which may include one or more of the following...
Neck Lift
Most of our forehead lift patients are able to slowly resume their normal physical activities within 2-3 weeks of surgery; however, this time frame varies among patients and is dependent upon the surgical technique utilized during surgery and the patientâ€™s unique healing capacity. Coronal brow lifts may cause temporary post-surgical itching or numbness, and often require more extensive recovery periods than the temporal, endoscopic, and mid-brow lifts. Forehead lift surgery may be performed as a solo procedure, or as a complement to ancillary facial surgery procedures (i.e. eyelid lift, facelift, neck lift) for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Blepharoplasty
EYELID SURGERY (UPPER/LOWER): Tired eyes can undermine even the most beautiful face. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is designed to dramatically refresh your appearance by eliminating sagging, wrinkles, and bags around the eyes. Eyelid surgery can target the upper eyelid, the lower eyelid, or both simultaneously.
Abdominoplasty
Tummy tuck surgery is ideally suited for the elimination of stubborn pockets of abdominal fat, which often presents as a tummy bulge or â€œpooch.â€ This procedure can also be utilized to improve the appearance of an undefined waistline, to correct a distended (protruding) or flabby stomach, and to resolve skin laxity concerns, wherein loose abdominal skin hangs down and detracts from the aesthetic appeal of the abdominal area. The abdominoplasty procedure involves three key steps, each of which facilitates the creation of flat, chiseled stomach contours...
Nose Surgery
Body Lift
A complete lower body lift treats sagging buttocks, abdomen, waist, hips and outer thighs in one procedure or in staged procedures. Incision patterns vary, and may include a circumferential incision around the body to remove the “belt” of excess skin and fat.
Breast Surgery
If you have lost your breasts to breast cancer or a breast-related injury/trauma, you have physical discomfort because of macromastia (enlarged breasts), or you are unhappy with or have complications from a prior breast surgery, you understand the critical role that your physique has on both your physical health and your emotional well-being. Yet the decision to alter your chest profile is not an easy one, and can have profound medical and psychological ramifications. AtÂ
Otoplasty
Ear contouring (otoplasty) is performed to improve the aesthetics of the ears, and in doing so, can also enhance the symmetry, balance, and cosmetic appeal of the entire face. Children and adults are prospective candidates for otoplasty surgery; however, children should be at least 4-6 years old at the time of surgery in order to ensure that the ear structures have completely formed.
Lip Augmentation
Soft tissue augmentation of the lips requires multiple injections to distribute the filler for enhanced lip fullness and to raise or define a cupid’s bow or vermillion border.
Body Contouring
Body contouring implants facilitate the permanent augmentation and enhancement of specific body parts that would benefit from an increase in size, shape, and definition. Commonly sought out by patients feeling frustrated after traditional diet and exercise regimens have stalled or plateaued, body contouring implants allow patients to overcome the constraints of time and genetics, and to achieve the perfectly developed, sculpted physique they desire.
Laser Resurfacing
Non-ablative Laser Skin Rejuvenation: During a non-ablative laser resurfacing treatment, the laser is broken up into microscopic columns of intense energy and directed onto the surface of the skin. The heat produced by the laser is gently absorbed into the skin, stimulating the bodyâ€™s natural production of collagen to restore the skinâ€™s healthy skin tone and youthful glow. Non-ablative treatments are non-invasive with minimal side effects and downtime, but require multiple sessions for maximum results.
Cosmetic Surgery
Vu Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, located in Stockton, California, is committed to offering only the latest state-of-the-art laser treatments in order to help his patients achieve their aesthetic goals while maximizing their safety and comfort. His dedication to the highest level of personal integrity means that he does not offer standardized, â€œcookie-cutterâ€ treatments. Instead, he earns his patientsâ€™ trust by providing only personalized procedures designed to meet the unique aesthetic and medical needs of each individual, ensuring successful, high-quality results and complete patient satisfaction each and every time.
Facial Implants
Facial implant surgery utilizes biocompatible implants to permanently enhance and augment specific facial features, with the goal of correcting facial asymmetry and cosmetic deficiencies linked to the natural aging process, genetic conditions, or facial trauma. The majority of facial implant surgery is performed on the chin, cheeks, and nose, as these facial features are the most responsive to the augmentative, reconstructive, and/or rejuvenating effects facial implants provide. Facial implants have become increasingly popular among both male and female patients, because of their unique ability to permanently create (or restore) aesthetically desirable facial contours without necessitating a secondary procedure elsewhere on the body (as with fat grafting/injection techniques).
Forehead Lift
Forehead (brow) lift surgery is designed to address and correct the visible signs of aging in the forehead and orbital regions of the face. When performed properly, a forehead lift can minimize the visibility of wrinkles and lines on the bridge of the nose (frown lines) and smooth out any forehead creases, thereby restoring a more youthfully revitalized facial appearance. By elevating the eyebrows, forehead lift surgery also corrects issues of upper eyelid hooding, producing a more alert, well-rested facial visage.

Acne Treatment
Lesions
Laser treatments are minimally-invasive and extremely safe, offering a powerful, effective solution for individuals seeking skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, hair removal, and the treatment of varicose veins, spider veins, and other vascular lesions.
Chemical Peels
Perfect for addressing wrinkles, uneven skin tone and pigmentation problems, and acne/acne scarring, chemical peels utilize a precise application of custom-blended chemical compounds to gently remove damaged skin and stimulate the growth of healthy, younger-looking skin. Dr. Vu offers only top-of-the-line ingredients in three strengths, precisely calibrated in intensity for each individual patient...
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a medical grade exfoliation system designed to correct rough, scaly, or peeling skin, erase accumulated sun damage, and moderate the symptoms of acne. Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the outermost layer of keratinized (dead) skin cells with powerful microscopic crystals, then carefully suctions away the dead cells to reveal the radiant, luminous skin underneath. This rejuvenating treatment allows skincare products to penetrate the skin more effectively for better results, stimulates the skinâ€™s natural production of collagen to promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells, and softens and tightens the skin for better tone and texture.

Allergies
Collagen is a natural protein that supports the skin. Injectable collagen formulas derived from human dermis include Cosmoderm?Ç¬ or Cosmoplast?Ç¬. Zyderm?Ç¬ and Zyplast?Ç¬ are forms of bovine collagen that, unlike human derived collagen, require prior allergy testing. The results may last 2 to 4 months.
