Profile of June Chen, Dr

Dr. Chens distinguished career has taken her throughout the United States. She received her Bachelor of Science from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas in 1991. After four years of training at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, she received her Doctorate of Medicine in 1995. She moved to Nashville, Tennessee for postgraduate studies at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, as well as a free electron laser fellowship.

In 1998, Dr. Chen moved to Oklahoma City to complete her general surgery residency at the Oklahoma University Medical Center. She then moved into a plastic surgery fellowship at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center, which she completed in 2003. After completing a breast surgery and microvascular fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Chen was awarded certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in 2005.

Dr. Chens interest in plastic surgery was sparked by her original passion for vascular surgery. Many cosmetic and reconstructive procedures rely on microvascular techniques and the appreciation for vascular anatomy. Plastic surgery is more artistic than general surgery, says Dr. Chen. You really have to take the aesthetic considerations into account even when you’re doing reconstruction. It gives you the artistic freedom to be able to operate on different parts of the body and try to restore both normal function and appearance.

Dr. Chen is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. She serves on the committee that oversees plastic surgery in-service examinations. She also holds memberships in the American Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery, Utah State Medical Association, and Utah State Plastic Surgery Society.
