Dr. Cameron Chesnut

When I decided to go to get facial surgery, I interviewed five surgeons in Seattle and Bellevue/Issaquah. They were all highly recommended and had 5 star reviews. I thought that all I needed was a lower blepharoplasty and a neck lift to address laxity in both areas. Each surgeon agreed that I'd benefit from that work and gave me quotes. None of them mentioned resolving related problems (my left eye had ptosis and functional muscle loss) or suggested other options for facial rejuvenation. I had seen Dr. Chesnut's videos on Instagram. I liked that he incorporated the latest techniques and how detailed his videos were on the type of work one needed to accomplish certain results. So I decided to interview him as well, not really thinking that I'd ever travel to Spokane to get the work done. Meeting with him was a very different experience from the others. First of all, he's really easy to talk to and he takes the time to listen to your goals. He pointed out specific functional problems occurring on my face. He helped me understand that to accomplish what I wanted, that I'd need far more than a lower bleph and neck lift. Everything is connected and as much as I wanted to keep costs low, I realized that he was right. I chose Dr. Chesnut and followed all of his recommendations. My surgery was in June 2025 and I am SO HAPPY with the result. Dr. Chesnut removed years of filler in my face. He cleaned up fibrotic tissue that filler had caused. He gave me better facial symmetry. He fixed areas where my muscles had separated from the fascia and weren't firing properly. It was a lot, but the final result is incredible. I look 20 years younger and much better, I still look like me. The team at Clinic 5C is amazing, but what's more they are all very kind (including Dr. Chesnut). Shelby was a lifesaver during recovery. She patiently answered every question that came up and I had a lot!). I felt cared for and that's important when you get this type of surgery. My recovery was surprisingly fast. The first week or so was tough. I highly recommend paying extra for one of the nurses to assist you in recovery. Once you get past week 1, it gets a lot better. Definitely take the supplements that Dr. Chesnut recommends. The peptides really help you heal faster. I was able to go out in public after two weeks! I decided to post a before and after for those interested. I highly recommend Dr. Chesnut and Clinic 5C. He gave me a beautiful exterior that matches how I feel inside. Worth every penny.

I cannot recommend Dr.Chesnut and his team enough! I flew in from Chicago, and my entire experience was exceptional. Everything - from the months and days leading up to the procedure to the moment I headed home - was seamless and thoughtfully coordinated. You can immediately tell that Clinic 5C is a tight-knit, caring community that genuinely prioritizes patient well being. I especially appreciated the support provided after the procedure, including the amazing recovery modalities, the staff check-ins, thoughtfully curated supplements, and the comfort of the beautiful recovery homes overlooking the Coeur d’Alene River. The healing process felt safe, supported and even peaceful. Another thing that truly stood out was how little pain I felt after my procedure. I honestly don’t think the level of care Clinic 5C provides is comparable to anything else in the world. I’m excited to see how my results continue to heal over the next few months. Undergoing facial plastic surgery - especially in your 30s- can feel like a big and intimidating decision, but I had complete trust in Dr.Chestnut and wouldn’t trust my face with anyone else.

Beyond pleased with my experience (and results) after seeing Dr. Chestnut, and his staff. I am new to the area and was hesitant to even consider "trying someone on", but also determined to find a great provider and practice in Spokane for Dermatology and Aesthetics. After reading Dr. chestnut's reviews, and taking the leap, I don't need to look any further. I understand why his patients come from all over the world to see him. Dr. Chestnut is kind and present, and thoughtful in his suggestions and approach. He is a perfectionist, an artist. His experience, knowledge, confidence, and natural/inate talent, exude in every interaction and treatment. Without hesitation, I highly recommend!

I never expected to pursue cosmetic surgery, but I’m SO glad I found Dr. Chestnut and clinic 5C! After having major corrective jaw surgery a few years ago, I started noticing changes in my face that were bothering me (a hollowness/dark circles under my eyes, asymmetries, etc.) Others had suggested I investigate filler, but as someone with a long history of chronic illness and auto-immune conditions, I had zero interest in putting that into my body. I happened to listen to a podcast interview with Dr. Chestnut and immediately started looking into his practice – the way he emphasized patient health & well-being, as well as optimizing his own lifestyle to be able to offer elite performance as a surgeon really resonated with me, and I knew if I was going to consider surgery, he would be my first choice. As a patient, I was completely taken care of through the entire process, from initial consultation throughout my recovery and beyond – I’m almost 1 year post-op and know I can still contact the clinic at any time if I have a question or concern (which I really don’t, because everything went so smoothly!). My results are amazing, I healed super quickly, and no one would know anything was done. Every little detail is thought out and purposeful, and perhaps the only “downside” is that now my standards for any clinical/surgical experience is going to be ridiculously high :) It truly is next level care, and I cannot recommend highly enough!
