About

Dr. Jen Yuan Chow, MD is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon practicing in Arcadia, California. Yale-trained, Dr. Chow's areas of care include both otolaryngology (ENT) and facial plastic surgery, covering ear, nose, and throat conditions alongside cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the face. His facelift philosophy prioritizes natural results, aiming to refresh appearance while helping patients retain their identity and avoid a "done" or "plastic" look. He believes creating unnaturally sharp contours can make patients appear synthetic in daily life. This organic approach emphasizes excellent patient communication to meet expectations and prevent fears of an unnatural appearance. For jawline definition, Dr. Chow uses Juvederm Volux XC, the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler for this purpose, often combining it with Voluma to reshape jawlines based on patient preference. He also offers dermal fillers for smile lines, a procedure that takes less than 10 minutes and allows patients to resume activities quickly.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$231

Payments

9

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Jen Yuan Chow received $231 across 9 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
