Feel your best self

Plastic surgery of the body is some of the most rewarding plastic surgery procedures, as the difference it makes for the patient is evident not only aesthetically, but also can provide more day-to-day comfort. Dr. William Lao is an expert New York City tummy tuck surgeon and has been featured in the aesthetic magazine NewBeauty as an NYC TopDoc. Beyond abdominoplasty, Dr. Lao also proudly helps patients achieve their best with surgeries such as liposuction, mommy makeover, and more!

non invasive procedures

Not every treatment requires anesthesia and a surgeon's tools. The truth is, no patient is the same, and while a facelift or liposuction might be the perfect solution for some, other patients need less invasive techniques to achieve their dream face and bodies. We offer many non-surgical solutions such as EMSCULPT, Clear + brilliant, BOTOX, Dermal Fillers, and other exciting lasers and machines to help you look younger, thinner, and feel your absolute best!

Hair Transplantation Procedures

Hair Transplant

People all over the world become self-conscious about hair loss. As young men and women, our hair gives us personality and a sense of physical identity. As we get older, many of us begin to lose this great sense of self by our hair either receding in the front or thinning on the crown. Gone are the days of unnatural-looking hair transplants or the need for a toupee. Dr. William Lao is a double-board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in hair loss for men and women of all different ages and ethnicities. We offer natural-looking solutions that will restore confidence and have you looking your best!
