Dr. Tutu Cheng — MD
A Plastic Surgeon
Helping Patients Look
and Feel Whole
Plastic surgeon Tutu Cheng, M.D., is often
asked why someone should see a plastic
surgeon to have little “tweaks” made to their
bodies.
Dr. Cheng, who is fellowship-trained in plastic
surgery, says her answer is always the same –
education and training.
“The steps to becoming a plastic surgeon
include many years of surgical training to operate
and perform procedures on the entire
body; i.e., from head to toe. Within the discipline
of plastic surgery, there is a dedicated focus
and appreciation for the face and complex
anatomy. This translates to having the medical
knowledge and technical expertise that is
necessary in providing the best aesthetic outcomes

for patients,’’ she said.
Dr. Cheng has a unique approach to plastic
surgery. She believes you need to treat the entire
patient not just the area they may have an
issue with or need surgery to correct.
