Profile
Dr. Chang is unique among Altos Oaks Plastic Surgery‘s plastic and reconstructive surgeons in that before he pursued medicine, he had obtained 2 engineering degrees from the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in mechanical engineering and design, and worked in roles within that industry.
What would entice someone to give up such as successful early career and return to school to become a doctor? Dr. Chang says that it was more than just the diversity of the technical challenges in plastic surgery. He strives to use his talents to help people, and plastic and reconstructive surgery lets him dramatically and directly improve his patients’ quality of life.
Dr. Chang graduated from the prestigious Tufts University School of Medicine and completed his general surgery internship and plastic surgery residency at Brown University. In addition to being certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chang completed fellowship training in microvascular surgery at The Buncke Clinic in San Francisco. This allows him to perform highly technical procedures such as deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, which requires careful connection of tiny blood vessels and nerves under a high-powered microscope.
