Dr. Henry Chen was born in Beijing, China and moved to the United States when he was five years old. As a child he lived in Florida, Oklahoma, and eventually settled in Texas. He developed an interest for science and medicine at a young age. He graduated magna cum laude from Rice University with his Bachelors degree in Economics. Dr. Chen was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, in recognition for the breadth and diversity of his educational pursuits. Realizing the importance of business principles as they applied to the practice of medicine, he obtained dual M.D./M.B.A. degrees from Baylor College of Medicine and the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University. During medical school, Dr. Chen developed a passion for the intricate anatomy of the head and neck and its associated disease processes.

This led him to pursue residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, which he completed at the University of Colorado Denver. During residency, Dr. Chen developed a keen interest in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery leading him to pursue further fellowship training in this field.

Dr. Chen has published articles, and presented research nationally relating to plastic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. He plans to continue to advance the field of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery throughout his career with further publications as well as teaching and educational efforts.

Following his fellowship with Dr. Williams, Dr. Chen will dedicate his practice to facial plastic and reconstructive surgery for both children and adults.

Obviously, a decision to have surgery on a child's ears should be a well informed decision and something that both the parents and the child wish to proceed forward with. In our experience, children at the age of 5 or older are good candidates for the surgery. This is the age when they begin to experience some degree of teasing at school and become more aware of their body image. At the same time the ears themselves have grown to close to their final adult size and therefore the surgery can be done safely and effectively at this age.
