Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Kim-Chi Vu

Sourced directly from Dr. Kim-Chi Vu's social posts and replies.

What is the first step when considering a cosmetic or reconstructive change?
The practice recommends starting with a conversation to discuss your goals and options.
Source →
What are the capabilities and limitations of liposuction?
Liposuction is an effective tool for removing stubborn, localized fat cells. However, it cannot tighten loose skin or repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).
Source →
When is an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) recommended?
A customized Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is often key to achieving a smooth, firm contour when skin elasticity has been lost after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Source →
What are the symptoms and treatment options for Trigger Finger (stenosing tenosynovitis)?
Trigger Finger symptoms include a finger feeling 'catching,' popping, or stuck in a bent position upon waking, often starting with mild stiffness or a tender bump at the base of the finger. Untreated inflammation can cause pain during everyday tasks. Treatment doesn't always require surgery; early interventions like rest, splinting, or targeted injections can often resolve the issue. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Vu and Dr. Madsen employ microsurgical precision to release the tendon sheath, aiming to safely restore full, pain-free mobility to the hand.

Source →
What are the benefits and philosophy behind a Thigh Lift at The Vu Center?
A thigh lift can help end the cycle of chronic chafing and skin irritation for many patients by removing excess tissue. This procedure aims to help patients reclaim the sensory freedom to walk, run, and move without discomfort, focusing on how the body feels in motion.

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.

No industry payments reported. We checked Dr. Kim-Chi Vu against the CMS Open Payments database and found no payments from drug or device makers on record for 2025, the most recent year CMS has published.
