Your path to happiness
William Lao, MD Plastic Surgery specializes in the aesthetic rejuvenation of the breasts. Whether it’s our world-renowned NYC breast augmentation, where you and Dr. Lao will discuss everything from implants, sizing, and where the incision will go, or a breast lift or reduction, you’ll be in great care in the expert hands of our surgeon. Dr. Lao is one of the few surgeons in the country to also offer the coveted scarless breast augmentation technique, where the incision will be placed in the armpit, and completely out of sight!
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 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!
