Valencia Plastic Surgery

Dr. Howard Hu founded the practice in 2005 to provide aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery in Santa Clarita and the surrounding region. The office sits on the corner of Valencia Blvd. and McBean Parkway, and the practice serves patients in Valencia, Santa Clarita and nearby areas. Patients have also come from many other states and countries and from across the Los Angeles basin. The office says it is under an hour from Palmdale and Lancaster, a little over an hour from Bakersfield, and reachable from Simi Valley.

Surgical services are grouped into body, breast and face procedures. Body options include tummy tuck (both a full abdominoplasty and a mini-tummy tuck), liposuction, arm and thigh lifts, a mommy makeover, vaginal rejuvenation, and non-surgical contouring such as Cellulaze, SmartLipo and CoolSculpting. Breast options cover augmentation, lift, reduction, gynecomastia treatment, breast correction, implant safety consultation, implant removal and tuberous breast correction. Face procedures include rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, ear surgery and fat transfer.

The skin rejuvenation menu includes BOTOX, dermal fillers, Latisse, VI Peel, lip augmentation, laser treatment, microneedling with PRP, IPL photofacial, Aqua Gold, laser skin resurfacing and Exilis skin tightening. The practice also carries the ZO Skin Health line and says a skin plan can combine ZO products, fillers, laser treatments and microneedling.

Before treatment, consultations explain procedures, costs, financing, risks, recovery time and expected results. A complimentary consultation can be booked by calling the office, and a free consultation is offered to tummy tuck patients. The practice works with healthcare financing companies, including CareCredit, which offers no-interest and low monthly payment plans, and Prosper Healthcare Lending, which gives immediate decisions on loans under $35,000 with terms up to 60 months. The website shows a 4.5-star rating from 82 reviews and includes a before-and-after photo gallery.

The practice says it puts patients first, and its consultations cover procedures, costs, financing, risks, recovery and expected results before anything is scheduled. Skin treatment plans can combine ZO products, dermal fillers, laser treatments and microneedling.

The practice aims to feel comfortable and relaxed for every patient, according to its website.
