Dr. Tan's patients share their experiences in their own words. The result no one can quite identify — the one where people simply notice you look well — is the standard her practice is built around. These are the stories of what that looks like in practice.
Every review below was written by a real patient and published on an independent platform. Filter by platform or procedure, or read them all.
"I am a 73 year old man who had a facial surgery performed by Dr. Susan Tan. This is what was done: Direct brow lift. Quad blepharoplasty. Deep plane lower facelift/neck lift. Facial fat grafting. I chose Dr. Tan because in addition to her being a plastic surgeon, she is also an ENT, which is advantageous for deep plane facelifts as ENT doctors are used to operating at the level of nerves and ligaments. Phenomenal surgeon."
"Dr. Tan is the best doctor there is. She knows what looks good, she has good taste, and will make you look better in a completely natural way — it won't scream that you had work done. I would highly recommend."
"This was my first time doing lip fillers so I was very nervous. However Dr. Tan made me feel at ease throughout the procedure. She explained the process thoroughly which I appreciated. She was very patient and made sure I was satisfied with my lips every step of the way. I surely will be back and highly recommend her."

"Dr. Tan is amazing. She did lip filler and Botox around my eyes. Her office is welcoming and beautifully decorated. She really eased my anxiety during the appointment. She took her time and made sure my lips looked how I wanted. I love my results. My lips still look natural but with a bit more volume. My confidence has really improved."
