Medical Weight Loss
Your surgeon will be able to advice you during your consultation whether your expectations should be altered, or whether you should expect to do some weight loss before or after surgery to get the results you want.
Constipation

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
Tummy tuck and liposuction are some of the most common surgical procedures performed by our Albuquerque plastic surgeons to improve abdominal contour. Many people work hard to get in shape but still have to live with their unattractive abdomen after childbirth and/or weight loss. The issue is often a combination of stretch marks, excess skin hanging over the lower abdomen, excess fatty deposits and muscle weakness causing bulging of the lower abdomen. For before & after photos of our Albuquerque abdominoplasty procedures please check out our photo gallery.

General Surgery
Dr. Chen’s education includes a Bachelor’s Degree from Haverford College and a Medical Degree from Harvard Medical School. He graduated with honors from both institutions. Staying in the Harvard system, he then completed residencies in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery at the world-renowned Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston. After serving as Chief Resident in Plastic Surgery at MGH, Dr. Chen accepted a highly competitive fellowship at the University of California in Los Angeles. Here, he honed his expertise in hand/microsurgery.
Reconstructive Surgery

Plastic Surgeons

Brow Lift
An Albuquerque Facelift can dramatically enhance the overall appearance of the face, giving it a youthful look by removing excess skin and fat. It is very effective in eliminating the jowls and some wrinkles of the mid- and lower-face. Blepharoplasty and forehead brow lift can also be incorporated into this procedure to achieve complete face rejuvenation.
Eyelid Surgery
For the individual with baggy eyelids and hooding of the upper eyelids, Albuquerque Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery, is an excellent procedure to make her/him look energetic and refreshed again. Hooding of the upper eyelids and bags under the lower lids give one the tired look. Albuquerque Blepharoplasty removes the excess skin and/or fat of the eye region to restore youthfulness. Typically, a crescent-shaped excess skin and underlying orbicularis muscle is removed. The incision is closed with a very fine suture under the skin. I perform the lower lid surgery with a subciliary incision. The incision line is within 1 mm from the lower eyelash line. I prefer this incision to a transconjunctival one (through the inside of the lid) because I can remove excess skin to tighten the skin much better. I do blepharoplasty either under local anesthesia or sedation, either in our Albuquerque office or in a surgery center. Patient satisfaction rate is very high. I definitely recommend eyelid surgery as the first facial surgery for those who are good candidates. Recovery: There will be bruising for 7-10 days for most people. I recommend cold pack on the eyes the first 24 hours and then warm compress starting the second day to facilitate resolution of bruising. Do not do vigorous exercise, lift, or strain in the first week to avoid bleeding from the surgical sites. Adequate fluid consumption and a stool softener is recommended to avoid constipation, which can occur with use of the pain medication. Here is more information about how I perform upper and lower blepharoplasty.
Liposuction
A Brazilian Butt Lift is the name plastic surgeons give the procedure of performing liposuction in one area of the body, then saving the fat and grafting it to the tissues of the buttocks for a more round and plump look.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is the most common surgical procedure that the majority of cosmetic surgeons perform. It is also one of the most satisfying procedures for both patients and surgeons alike. My technique for breast augmentation has evolved over the past 20 years. I would like to share with you the way I do breast augmentation.

Plastic Surgery
At Plastic Surgery of New Mexico, we’re committed to accessibility. It is our policy to ensure that everyone, including persons with disabilities, has full and equal access to our digital offerings.
Thigh Lift
Face Lift
Some people do not need full facelift, however. In particular, people who have no significant fatty excess but moderate skin laxity.
Neck Lift
Dr. Knotts is known as an expert surgeon, committed to the patient experience and maximum results, achieved in a safe and gentle fashion. His demeanor is described as passionate, thorough and caring. His most requested operations are liposuction with Brazilian butt lift, mommy makeover including breast augmentations and lifts as well as tummy tucks, facial rejuvenation including facelift and neck lift, and surgery after weight loss including body lifts, arm lifts, and thigh lifts. Dr. Knotts performs the gamut of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in addition to his most requested.
Blepharoplasty
Abdominoplasty
In abdominoplasty, two main goals are achieved to result in a firmer and more toned appearance. The first step is to remove excess skin and the second is to tighten the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis muscles). We take pride in helping our clients feel more confident wearing clothing they have not been able to wear for many years due to their abdominal deformity. For women following pregnancy, an abdominoplasty can help regain self-confidence and a pre-pregnancy body. That is why abdominoplasty is consistently one of the most rewarding operations in cosmetic surgery.
Nose Surgery
Body Lift
If the excess skin extends around to drooping buttocks, a body lift operation may be a better option. The scar for a body lift is similarly low like a tummy tuck, but goes all the way around the mid-section like a belt.
Breast Surgery
Body Contouring
Our Albuquerque board-certified plastic surgeons have authored body contouring chapters in some of the most well-respected plastic surgery textbooks in the country and pride themselves on getting patients the body they want in a safe and discrete manner.
Gynecomastia
Student who had the privilege of shadowing Dr. Knotts a few years ago at The Austin Weston Center for cosmetic surgery in Virginia. While all the surgeons I shadowed were exceptionally talented, Dr. Knott’s attention to detail and genuine interest in obtaining the best possible result for his patients impressed me greatly. In fact, I opted to bear the extra expense and effort to travel nearly 2,000 miles from home and spend 3 weeks in Albuquerque for the privilege of having him as my surgeon. During my consultation, Dr. Knotts patiently explained the recommended procedures in detail and answered all my questions. Dr. Knotts preformed my gynecomastia correction, abdominoplasty, and the associated liposuction of the aforementioned areas. Today is post-opt (Day 10) and nearly all my swelling has subsided. My scars are minimal, considering it’s only been 10 days, I have almost no bruising, and I can already see an incredible improvement in my overall contour. I’m an extremely particular individual, so it’s no small complement when I say that my results, thus far, exceed my expectations. I also never experienced any tactile sensation loss (numbness/ loss of sensitivity) neither in my chest nor in my abdomen. I contribute my speedy recovery to Dr. Knott’s skills as a surgeon as well as my strict adherence to his post-opt recommendations. Dr. Knotts is, in my opinion, both an artist as well as an excellent surgeon.
Cosmetic Surgery
Beyond his training and expertise in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Knotts takes interest in outdoors activities including backpacking and cycling, collecting mid-century modern furniture, and spending time with friends and family.
