EYE

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

D, 57, retired police officer, Queens, USA VIEW HER STORY “I feel very blessed and fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet such a talented young Doctor. I am 57 year old female. In December 2014, I had a facial procedure done. My eyelids top & bottom and face was lifted. I am 100% satisfied with the results. People see me and they say I look 10 years younger. My confidence level is off the charts. I can’t say enough about Dr. William Lao. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and caring. We had open communication through emails & telephone calls. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Lao, considering I interviewed 8 different plastic surgeons. Dr. Lao, is a graduate of Johns Hopkins Medical School which is one of the finest institutions in the world. Dr. Lao I will be forever grateful. Thank you.”
Lily, Female 5 Star Google Review “I have uneven eyelids result from a previous double eyelid surgery years ago. One day I decided to have it corrected. Prior to meeting with Dr. Lao, I was on the verge of giving up the idea of surgery since the first Doctor I saw told me that my situation is not treatable. Consultation (which is free) with Dr. Lao was easy and pleasant. Dr. Lao told me that my problem can be easily solved with minimum invasive suture technic. That is exactly what I had hoped for!! As a plastic surgeon, I think Dr. Lao possesses a great deal of aesthetic sense, as well as good medical skills. At the meeting, he pointed out that my upper eyelids are sunken, a fat grafting procedure would enhance my appearance, so we decided to have both procedures done at the same time. I am so glad I did it, because the surgery had transformed my eyes. A couple of weeks after the surgery, the eyes looking natural, the result is beyond anything I had expected. I love my new eyes! This entire process is so easy. I am so grateful!”
Matthew, 5 Star Google Review “I had upper eyelid, lower eyelid and mid eye surgery (asian eye surgery) with Dr. Lao, and I am so happy with my results! I was pretty worried about having my eyes done, but felt assured about going with Dr. Lao after seeing another doctor first, then getting a referral from a different that doctor I trust. I researched Dr. Lao online and was impressed with his education and experience. He has experience performing asian eye surgery overseas and here in New York, so I felt that he really understood what my goals were. On my first consultation, I was warmly greeted by Nancy, who answered a lot of my questions and was so kind from my first visit to my last. Dr. Lao took his time to get to know me, ask me questions, and show me tons of before-and-after photos that assured me that he knew what he was talking about and knew what I wanted. Dr. Lao’s bed side manner is impeccable! He is a kind and caring doctor that made me feel like he really cared about me. A lot doctors make people feel like they are just a number, but Dr. Lao took his time and it made me feel so assured that I was making the right choice. And I’m so glad I did. Dr. Lao and Nancy checked up on me BEFORE my surgery to make sure I was doing ok in getting ready for my big day, then surgery came and although I was nervous, I was surrounded by the nicest group of medical professionals that helped me feel at ease. I did my eye under local, which was little intense, but again, the team helped to put me at ease the entire time. I could Dr. lao spoke to me during the procedure and hearing his voice was comforting, like he was a good friend. Recovery was, as expected, uncomfortable, Dr Lao called me that night and then next morning, then told me to text or call him if i had any questions. I thought that was so awesome. I followed my recovery instructions, took it very easy and bruising was not too bad. The bruises actually went away in about 4-5 days, but minimal swelling lingered for a bit. I went back to work about 10-12 days after my surgery, and no one suspected anything! Today it has been 35 days since my surgery, and my eyes look so natural and fresh! I have no scars, or any sign of surgery. There is a tiny bit of swelling (so minimal only I can notice) but every day I wake up with better and better looking eyes! I can only say I am so glad I did this for myself and so very glad I chose Dr. Lao to do it!”
Judy, 5 Star Google Review “Dr Lao is very nice and has incredible skills. He is one out of many doctors that I have consulted who can actually do suture upper Eyelid. , all other doctors claimed that they do not do it, but my eyelids are so thin, removing excessive skins as a part of incisional blepharoplasty is not good fit for me. I like my results, it looked very natural and made me look younger”

Brow Lift

Julie V, Female 5 Star Google Review “Dr. Lao performed my brow lift and the results were beautiful. It enabled me to restart my modeling career. Sincerely, Julie V”

J, 67, Caucasian, Retired, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “Dr. Lao’s attention to my hopes for an improved appearance resulted in just the outcomes I desired. I asked for a forehead lift which he executed beautifully. At his suggestion, I also received an eyelid enhancement wherein the area was refreshed with fat from my abdomen to create a more youthful appearance. The results are amazing. Further, he went above and beyond when I hit a snag in arranging for post procedural care and helped me arrange for a home attendant. His care was thorough, thoughtful and sensitive to my individual needs. I highly recommend his services.”

B, 61, Caucasian, Paralegal, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “I met Dr. Lao in March to discuss an endoscopic brow lift. After his thorough consultation, we decided on the brow lift along with treating the ptosis on the upper lids and a chemical peel. He really made me comfortable and was very thorough and detailed about the procedure. He followed up several times with phone calls and emails pre and post operations. My husband also felt with his bedside manner and medical knowledge, that I was in good hands. I hope to use Dr. Lao for future procedures and recommend him to handle any plastic surgery needs. It was a pleasure knowing you and if you return to the US, please let me know. I wish you success in your future practice. Taiwan is very lucky. If I fly to Asia, I will let you know.”

WC, 62, Female, Chinese, Nurse, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY

G, 63, Asian, Nurse, New York, USA “I had surgery with Dr.Lao last March 24,2015. My procedure was upper blepharoplasty,brow lift, autologous fat graft to lower lids,chemical peel and neck lift. I had excellent results. I chose him because I saw results from other patients post op. I’m a plastic surgery nurse for years and I can tell you he’s a talented doctor,caring and had good bedside manners. Dr.Lao,thank you for correcting my uneven brows and eyes.I was hesitant at first to have the brow lift because I might get a surprise look but you did it perfectly. It opened up my eyes like the way I look when I was younger. I love my neck, no more chords & extra skin under my chin. The peel improved the texture of my face. For patients contemplating for any cosmetic procedure you have to go to Dr.Lao.Wherever he practice here in the States or Asia, I highly recommend him.”

R, 58, Caucasian, office worker, New Jersey, USA “I recently had a face, brow and neck lift with Dr. Lao and he did a fantastic job. My friends all think I look great. I have also recently received compliments on my appearance from people I see only on an occasional basis. I think they know something is different about my appearance but can’t seem to figure out what it is. I think this fact attests to the “natural” look Dr. Lao achieved. Dr. Lao is very personable and is a perfectionist but what I liked best about him is that he listened to what I wanted and we planned the surgery together. I have already been asked for his contact info by several friends. I would highly recommend him to anyone without hesitation.”

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

G, 59, African American, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “I am GJ, and I am saying a few words concerning my surgery. I had those bags under my eyes for many years, the top of my eyes were always puffy as a child, and I hated it. I always wish I had nicer looking eyes, the longer it stayed the more I wish that there was something I could do. I was fed up with all the expensive eye creams. Well until I saw the ad from Lenox Hill Plastic Surgery Hospital, I called and that was one of the best day of my life. The staff encountered were very encouraging and helpful, Dr. William Lao is so friendly, caring and convincing that I felt very confident in his abilities. Today I am overjoyed and grateful to my God that I did my surgery at Lenox Hill Plastic Surgery Hospital.”

47, Russian/Jewish, Dental Office Manager, New York, USA “I was very nervous when I arrived to my first consultation with Dr. Lao. I had never had plastic surgery before and didn’t know what to expect. I explained to him that I wasn’t interested in changing my appearance, but only in getting a “fresher” look. Dr Lao was very sweet and patient. He answered all of my questions in great detail, both during the consultation, as well as to the numerous emails I had sent him. After my surgery, Dr. Lao kept in touch with me daily- checking in to see how I was feeling and answering questions about post-op care. I am very happy with my results and am wholeheartedly recommending Dr. Lao to any prospective clients.” “הייתי לחוצה מאוד כשהגעתי להתייעצות הראשונה שלי עם ד”ר לאו. מעולם לא עברתי ניתוחים פלסטיים ולא ידעת למה לצפות. הסברתי לו שאני לא מעוניינת לשנות את המראה שלי, אלא בלקבל מראה “טרי” יותר. ד”ר לאו היה מאוד נחמד וסבלני. הוא ענה על כל השאלות שלי בפירוט רב, הן במהלך ההתייעצות, וגם למיילים הרבים ששלחתי לו. לאחר הניתוח שלי, ד”ר לאו שמר על קשר יומיומי איתי- הוא שלח לי הודעות כדי לראות איך אני מרגישה וענה על כל שאלה שהייתה לי בנוגע לטיפול שלאחר ניתוח. אני מאוד מרוצה עם התוצאות שלי ואני ממליצה על ד”ר לאו בלב מלא! ” “Когда я впервые пришла на консультацию с доктором Лао, я страшно волновалась и не знала чего ожидать от этой встречи . Я раньше никогда не прибегала к помощи пластической хирургии. Я объяснила доктору , что не заинтересованна в том , чтобы изменить свою внешность. Просто хочу более ” свеженькое” лицо . Доктор Лао с огромным терпением и профессионализмом ответил на все мои вопросы и объяснил все в мельчайших подробностях . Он также отвечал на мои emails . После операции он оставался со мной на связи и раз в несколько дней интересовался моим восстановлением и отвечал на мои вопросы . Я довольна результатом операции и от чистого сердца рекомендую доктора Лао всем , кто хочет прибегнуть к помощи пластического хирурга ”

Rebecca, Female 5 star Google Review “(Translated by Google) I received a double eyelid nose operation from Dr. Lao, and as a result I am very satisfied. My friends all ask me where I got the surgery and tell them about Dr. Lao. First of all, I feel more confident after this surgery. Dr. Lao is not only having good skills but also taking care of patients. I checked to see if it was okay to see if there was any problem with me the evening after the surgery and the next day. I would like to actively recommend Dr. Lao, who has good medicine to you, and to be highly appreciated. (Original) 저는 쌍커풀, 코 수술을 닥터 Lao 선생님께 받았는데요 결과적으로 너무 만족스럽습니다. 저의 친구들은 모두다 어디서 수술을 받았냐고 자신에게도 닥터 Lao 선생님 정보를 가르쳐달라고 부탁합니다. 무엇보다 제 자신이 이번 수술이후 자신감이 더욱 많이 생겼다는 ㅋㅋㅋ 닥터 Lao 선생님은 좋은 의술을 가졌을 뿐 만이 아니라 환자 들도 잘 챙기시는 스타일이에요. 수술 끝나고 바로 저녁에 ,그 다음날에도 저한테 아무런 문제가 없는지 아픈데는 괜찮은지 꼭 체크했습니다. 저는 성형으로 이뻐지실 여러분께 좋은 의술을 지닌 닥터 Lao 선생님을 적극적으로 추천하고 높은 평가를 들이고 싶습니다.”

Excellent bedside manner. And the doctor is so accessible, whenever I had a concern I would call or email him and he was always there for me. He makes you feel like he cares about you as a person, and not like you are just a patient. On the results, Dr. Lao’s work was great, giving me a refined, pretty nose. My life has gotten significantly better, with higher self confidence and compliments on my looks. I would highly recommend Dr. Lao! “Dr. Lao oyaadi. Na ejwuma ehu gi!” That is it in twi 🙂 And the English translation is: “Dr. Lao does exceptional work. He did a fine job.”

FACE/NECK

Face Lift

R, 56, Female, Caucasian, Cruise chef, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “Dr. William Lao performed a face and neck lift, fat injection to my cheeks, some laser and upper eye procedures. He is a brilliant surgeon and am sure will excel in his field. He already has accomplished more than most especially at his age. Within three weeks after surgery I looked 10-15 years younger, had a good recovery and felt a new confidence. I had a very natural but noticeable difference in my appearance. He made me feel like I was his only patient although he is extremely busy with many other patients and all kinds of procedures. He is kind, thoughtful and gives you all the time you need for questions, follow up etc. In fact, his follow-up was flawless..always in touch and always got back to me the same day. He was never hurried and never worried…the perfect match for me.”

Breast Reduction

A, 26, TV Program Director, African American, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “I’ve always had pretty large breast since middle school and they always made me feel uncomfortable. Eventually I started to grow into them, but during college I gained a significant amount of weight and they doubled. I was probably a 36C in high school and jumped to a 36DD after. While everyone said I should be thankful, I didn’t feel that way at all. It was difficult to wear certain shirts, dress and buy coats. I ended up losing about 20lbs and my breast size decreased to a 36D, but I had a ridiculous amount of loose skin and my breast sagged really bad. I started looking into breast lifts and reductions around 22 or 23 years of age and finally, at 26, I found the right doctor at Lenox Hill for a reasonable quote. I’ve had over four consultations and Lenox Hill’s Dr. Lao is probably one of the best surgeons I’ve met. He made me feel so confident and comfortable and he took his time with me. Any questions I had or information I needed, he provided. My surgery was on Friday, but I’m already pleased with my results. No one’s breasts are perfect, but he truly worked magic!”

Mindy, 5 Star Google Review “Let me start off by saying Dr. Lao is an amazing plastic surgeon. His great personality tied in with his confidence made me feel so comfortable after our first appointment. I’ve had any cosmetic surgery prior to this. I was so nervous about having my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Dr. Lao was compassionate, he listened and validated all my concerns. The lines of communication were always open with Dr. Lao. He happily 🙂 accepted my suggestions while giving me his expert advice. I countless hours looking online at different breast implants. I was so concerned about my breast looking unnatural. Dr. Lao suggested we insert the implant through my nipple. I’m so glad I listened to him. My breast look and feel so natural. It left no visible scaring. My tummy tuck scar is exactly below the bikini line so it’s not noticeable. He also reconstructed my belly button perfectly. I’m soooooo happy he’s back in the states. I wouldn’t trust another plastic surgeon. Dr. Lao is the best!!!!!”

Alma, 5 Star Google Review “After my consultation with Dr. Lao on Skype I felt really secure about my upcoming surgery. He was one of the few ones or the only one I know who can perform a breast augmentation through the axillary incision because I don’t want any scars on my breast. Everything went great. I got a 250ccs moderate plus profile turns out to be a 32C/D (I used to be a full B before). It’s been more than 3 weeks now and my breast feels really soft and natural. I can’t be anymore happy. Thank you Dr. Lao for your devoted effort to take the best care of your patients. He is a sweetheart.”

YJL, 5 Star Google Review “(Translated by Google)I made breast augmentation of breast acupuncture 20 years ago in mainland China. At that time, the doctor injected something like silicone. But in the past year, my left chest has been growing constantly. In the unknown situation, I went. At the Department of Plastic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of NYU University School of Medicine, the doctor of the hospital suggested that I come to Dr. Luo for consultation. During the consultation process, Dr. Luo gave me a lot of detailed advice in his consultation with his professional vision and rich experience. During the consultation and the operation, I learned that the operation was very complicated and frustrating, but it was also the case. After Dr. Luo patiently explained, I gave this operation to him with confidence. The whole operation was smooth and the operation was smooth. The silicone gel injected before the chest is clear, the surgery has been a month now, the recovery process is also normal, without any inflammation or special discomfort, I am very grateful to Dr. Luo before the worst possible situation, I am willing to help me with this operation. His superb skills and rich experience have made me particularly admire. From consultation to surgery, the whole process of Dr. Luo and His assistant Nancy has shown their professionalism. In the future, I have many friends who have similar situations. I will strongly recommend them to Dr. Luo.” (Original) 我在中國大陸20年前做了胸部小針美容的隆乳,當時醫生注射了類似硅膠的東西,但是過去的一年我的左邊胸部一直不停的在變大,在情況不明下,我去了N Y U大學醫學院附屬醫院整形外科求助,醫院的醫生建議我到駱醫師這邊來做諮詢,在諮詢的過程中駱醫師以他專業的眼光還有豐富的經驗在諮詢中給我很多詳細的講解和手術的建議,在諮詢的過程中我了解到這個手術是非常複雜和耗神,但是也是這樣,經過駱醫師耐心的講解我才放心的把這個手術交給他,整個手術都很順利並且把胸部之前注射的硅膠都清乾淨,手術到現在已經一個月,恢復過程也都很正常,沒有任何的發炎或是特別的不舒服,我非常感謝駱醫師在有可能最糟的情形發生之前,願意幫我做這個手術,他精湛的技術還有豐富經驗讓我特別感到佩服,从咨询到手术,整个过程駱醫師和他的助理Nancy都表现出他们的专业度,未來我也有許多朋友有類似的情形,我都會大力的推薦他們來找駱醫生。

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A, 20, Caucasian, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “I call Dr. Lao the miracle worker because my surgery was some serious mass lol. I received a breast lift at only 20 years old. Reason being I had my daughter at a young age and reached a size of Triple D while breast feeding and was still growing. I decided to stop breast feeding and when I did my boobs started to sag and flatten. Not to mention nipples were so enlarged I would say about the size of a small pancake it was getting crazy. Basically I had two droopy rain drops and an extraordinary nipple as my mom would say lol. After talking with my step mom she introduced me to Dr. Lao because she herself was getting work done. After seeing pictures of a previous patient I knew he was the one for me. Very friendly and not weird like some dr.’s I saw before, Instantly I knew this was the doctor for me. Now I’m small C and loving it! Dr. Lao did an amazing job on my new breast from the incisions to the size of my nipple (which are small now). I had a little skin problem after surgery with redness and dryness because I have sensitive skin but with Dr.Lao’s recommendation to use a specific cream and a bio oil my skin was back to normal in no time. Although my scars are still visible they are continuing to fade little by little because as you know that doesn’t happen overnight. But all I can say is I would recommend Dr. Lao to anyone and if I ever needed another surgery he would definitely be my go to guy! Thanks again Dr. Lao I’m truly in love with my NEW and improved TATA’S lol :)”

R, 49, Caucasian, New York, USA “I had a reconstructive mastopexy and implant removal.I had lost a lot of weight and had implants put in to compensate at MEETH My implants were almost 10 years old. I was having a lot of pain and the implants had moved. I also think due to increase muscle tone the muscle was pulling on the capsule. My right nipple was also very misplaced.You removed the implants and the capsules and my pain is now gone. You also really re-situated the nipple so it wasn’t so high and they are both now more symmetrical. I am very happy with the results. We were scared that the breasts would be flat but there was enough tissue remaining to create a breast mound and I love them. They have never been this good looking. My scars are fading and I can exercise more easily now too.”

Breast Lift/augmentation

Dean, Male, 5 stars on Google Reviews “(Translated by Google) As a boy who is not very attached to external conditions, he never thought that in his experience of seeing a doctor, “plastic surgery” would be included. I thought that my upper bound was caused by obesity, so I worked hard every week, especially the part that stood up. However, the hard work of that time, but only for the unintended result of thin abdomen instead of the upper bound, suddenly disappointing In order to avoid letting everyone look at their upper circumference, they only wear loose dark tops when going out, and they will deliberately hunchback walking, just fear that raising their heads will make people discover their own strange things, and this habit also causes The soreness of the shoulders and neck can be said to be miserable. Later, in an accidental situation, through the Internet search, I found that my symptoms are similar to “male female breast disease”, which is a kind of breast-like symptoms in men, which can only be treated by plastic surgery. I didn’t know how to bring this up with my family at the time, but in order not to let this annoying symptom follow my life, I took the scalp in front of my family and mentioned it when I was chatting for dinner. The family members indicated that they should not care about this symptom, but they may feel the physical and mental difficulties of their children. Therefore, they suggest that if they want to undergo plastic surgery, they must carefully choose plastic surgery from a large hospital. Later, when searching for relevant materials through the Internet, I was caught by a photo of a young doctor who seemed to be knowledgeable. In addition to his extensive experience in the treatment of “male female breast disease”, this doctor has left his own contact information for those who need assistance to contact him. This is very rare, because in order to avoid being disturbed by patients, the doctor actually I will not do this. The doctor later became the turning point for me to find confidence. He is Dr. Luo Yukai, Dr. William Lao. I remember when I first met Dr. Luo, I found that he was surrounded by a group of interns and felt that the squad was very large. From the opening of Dr. Luo, he can feel his kindness and sense of humor, and also show his delicate and professionalism. Regarding the procedure of the operation and the precautions after the operation, Dr. Luo will give detailed and practical explanations and explanations in order to alleviate the tension of the patients and let the patients understand what changes they will face. Therefore, this young doctor who was deeply baptized by American style and exotic culture made me feel very good and made me feel full of trust. So I arranged the operation time immediately on the day of the visit. Waiting before the operation is a bit long, and what you can do now is to try to keep your peace of mind. After all, this is your choice. As long as you can improve, this choice is worthwhile. Since I have not undergone general anesthesia surgery, I am uneasy about it. Perhaps this uneasy emotion was discovered by Dr. Luo, so he chatted with me with some humorous words. Seriously, this helped a lot, and the original tension gradually disappeared, so I lay down on the operating table and prepared to accept the oncoming change. When the eyes are opened, their position has been transferred to the restroom, and the corset that needs to be worn after surgery has been worn on the body. At that time, the head was a little drowsy, and the wounds of the opponent felt a dull pain. What is even more wonderful is that it seems strange to the feeling part of the upper circumference. It was not until I saw my upper bound through the mirror that I finally understood where the strangeness of the time came from. Because “male female breast disease” has disappeared from the body, it is followed by another brand new feeling, but it takes a while to adapt. Compared with the previous walk on the road, now I have the courage to look up and walk, completely saying goodbye to the previous hunchback, and also found self-confidence. I am able to have all of this, all thanks to Dr. Luo’s medical skills. I am very fortunate to find him to relieve my psychological shackles when I am depressed because of “male female breast disease”, and I will be encouraged and cared for during the post-operative visit. These are the things I have never felt in a doctor. For Dr. Luo, I am grateful, but thank you, because he let me pick up the self-confidence that has disappeared for a long time. I believe that as long as there is a doctor in the place, it will be happy for the local people who need plastic surgery. (Original) 身為一個不算很執著於外在條件的男生,其實從未想過在自己就醫看病的經驗中,「整形」會列入其中。原先以為自己上圍突出是肥胖所造成,因此每個禮拜都努力運動,尤其是伏地挺身的部份。然而那段時間的辛勤付出,卻只換來瘦腹部而非上圍的非預期結果,頓時讓人深感失望 為了避免讓眾人注視到自己的上圍,因此外出時只穿寬鬆的深色上衣,而且會刻意駝背行走,就只怕抬頭挺胸會讓人發現到自己的異樣之處,而這習慣也引起了肩膀和頸部的痠痛,可說是苦不堪言 後來在一次偶然情況下,透過網路搜尋發現自己的症狀類似「男性女乳症」,那是一種在男性身上有著像女性般乳房的症狀,唯有透過整形手術才能治療好。當時真不知該怎把這件事跟家人提起,但為了不讓這惱人症狀跟著自己一輩子,所以趁著某天晚餐閒聊時,硬著頭皮當著家人的面提起這件事。原本家人表明別去在意此症狀,但也許是感受到自己孩子的身心難處,因此他們建議若要透過整形手術治療,就得慎選大型醫院的整形外科來進行 後來透過網路搜尋相關資料時,被一名看起來學識淵博的年輕醫生相片抓住了目光。這名醫生除了擁有治療「男性女乳症」的豐富經驗之外,還留下自己的聯絡方式讓有需要協助的人聯絡他,這倒是很罕見,因為一般醫生為了避免被病患打擾,其實是不會這樣做的。而這位醫生後來就成了我找回自信的的轉捩點,他就是駱瑋凱醫生,Dr. William Lao 記得初次見到駱醫生時,發現他身旁圍繞著實習醫生群,感覺陣仗很有規模。而從駱醫生一開口,就可以感受到他的親切和幽默感,同時也展現了他的細膩和專業度。關於手術的過程和手術後的注意事項,駱醫生都會給予詳細實在的述說和解釋,為的就是緩和病患的緊張感,讓病患了解自己的身體即將會面臨什麼樣的轉變。因此這位深受美式作風和異國文化洗禮的年輕醫生讓我印象極佳,也讓我充滿信賴感,於是就在當天看診時立即安排了手術時間 手術前的等待有些漫長,而當下能做的就是盡量保持心平氣和,畢竟這是自己的選擇,只要能夠有所改善,這選擇就是值得的。由於沒接受過全身麻醉手術,因此心情難免會忐忑不安。也許這不安的情緒被駱醫生發現到了,所以他當時用些很幽默的話語跟我閒談了一下。說真的這幫助很大,原本的緊張感也逐漸消失,就這樣我躺上了手術檯,準備接受迎面而來的轉變 當雙眼睜開時,自己所處位置已轉移到休息室內,而手術後需穿上的塑身衣也已穿在身上。當時頭有些昏沉,對手術後的傷口感到隱隱作痛,更奇妙的是對於上圍的感覺部份,似乎很陌生。直到透過鏡子看到自己的上圍,才終於了解當時的陌生感從何而來。因為「男性女乳症」已從身上消失,隨之而來的是另一種全新的感覺,只是這感覺需要一段時間去適應 相較於以前走在路上,現在的自己已勇於抬頭挺胸行走,完全揮別以前那個彎腰駝背的自己,也找回了自信心。我能夠擁有這一切成果,全是拜駱醫生的醫術能力所賜。我很慶幸能夠在自己因「男性女乳症」而情緒低落時,找到他來解除我的心理枷鎖,同時在手術後回診期間,受到他的鼓勵和關懷。這些,是我從未在一名醫生身上感受過的 對於駱醫生,我除了感謝,還是感謝,因為他讓我重新拾回消失已久的自信。相信只要哪個地方有駱醫生的存在,對於當地需要整形服務的民眾而言,都會是幸福的”

A, 29, Mother of Two, Caucacian, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “I’ve recently had a breast augmentation, minor lift, and areola reduction performed by Dr. Lao. I am a mother of two and suffered from significant deflation and some asymmetry mostly from breastfeeding. I have had a consultation once before and I must say Dr. Lao made me feel extremely comfortable in ways the other surgeon did not. He went the extra mile in helping me come to a decision about my size and giving his opinions when necessary. His main concern was keeping my look natural. And he executed that so well. I am thrilled with the end results. My breasts look so natural and my family and friends think they’re perfect. Dr. Lao is charismatic, professional, always available, and great at his craft. I’d recommend him to anyone.”

CV, 33, Nurse, African American, New York, USA VIEW HER STORY “I can’t say enough about how wonderful my experience with Dr. Lao was. He is very knowledgeable not only about the medical aspects but also about what to expect with my recovery, what help I’ll need, and how I’ll feel after. I had a mastopexy with a breast augmentation on 10/20/14 so it was what I considered a fairly large procedure. I went to three offices and when I began speaking to Dr. Lao, I knew right away that he was the doctor I wanted to go with. I signed up right away. He explained all aspects of the procedure and made himself available when I had any questions. But most of all he made me feel like a human and was very respectful. The work he did is excellent! I have not regretted anything about the procedure not for a minute, in fact, I am so pleased with it that I wish I had done it sooner. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Dr. Lao is!”

K, 33, Mom, African American, New York, USA “The greatest part of my experience with Dr. Lao was his bed side manner. In my opinion bed side manner begins with the consultation, and from the start, Dr. Lao showed compassion and understanding for his patients’ needs and desires. He was also delicate and assertive in offering his medical advice about the best way to obtain such goals. The surgery was a smooth transaction and my results were as discussed. During post-operative care he was just as attentive as he was during and prior to the surgery. True professional.”

Franklin, 5 Star Google Review “Went to Dr. Lao because i had severe gynecomastia and needed the excess skin removed and nipples relocated. Im about 3 weeks post op i look and feel great. Dr. Lao has been very helpful answering all concerns ive had throughout recovery frequently checks in to make sure everything is ok. He calmly and thoroughly explains everything that’s happening and everything that will happen during recovery. I highly recommend him!!!”
Wayne, 5 Star Google Review “Hello Dr. Luo, thank you for helping me to find my self-confidence. To be honest, I feel very helpless in my life before the operation of male breast disease. Every day I care about the eyes of others. When I walk, I often bend over and hump. There is no such thing as self-confidence for boys. Probably from the time of the second day of the country, I slowly felt that my chest had a tendency to become bigger. I thought it was caused by obesity at first, so I didn’t care very much. Later, because I was ridiculed and nicknamed because of this relationship, I felt that I was not quite right. Why does my chest look like a girl? I also didn’t dare to communicate with people from that time. When I went out, I always wear a few more clothes. Even on a hot day, I don’t dare to take off my coat. When I was in high school, the situation still did not improve, and the chest continued to grow. This made me very troubled, so I thought of a bad way, that is, using tape to find a way to stick my chest a little, at the time, I did not think so much, I feel very happy as long as the chest can be made smaller. So after I got up every morning, before changing clothes, I was alone in the room, using a large tape to stick the chest, and sticking to the high school graduation. After that, I realized that this sticking is not a solution. The chest is even stuck to me with tape. Before that, I have been surfing the Internet to find out about this issue. I understand that this is actually the so-called male breast disease. But during this period of high school, I kept thinking about this problem with my parents, but I was not retreating back if I was a boy with a chest. Otherwise, my timid, weak heart drove me not to dare. Discuss with your parents. Until my summer vacation after high school, I wanted to go to college. I wanted to start again. So I took the courage to talk about my mother’s breast disease seriously and told them that I wanted to treat. Finally, my parents accepted my opinion and found Dr. Luo from the plastic surgery of Lin Geng Chang Geng to help me with this operation. On the day of the operation, I was not afraid, because this was my own request. When I entered the operating room, the nurse aunt also talked to me about the day, which made me feel more relaxed. When I took the anesthetic, I gradually passed out. When I woke up again, the operation was over. There was no pain at all in the process. It was just that I had some difficulty breathing when I woke up, maybe it was just a relationship with the anesthetic. After the operation, I found that I had already worn a pre-ordered corset and felt a little pressure on the body. Especially the chest sometimes felt uncomfortable, but after a few weeks I got used to it. After the operation, I am very satisfied with my body. I am also very confident about myself. I don’t have to care about other people’s eyes. I don’t have to wear more clothes to cover up. This is the place that makes me most happy. Dr. Luo said that I can start fitness, and I also listened to it. It has been almost eight months since the operation. I have been working out in fitness. I especially hope that I can train my chest muscles better and look better. In the future, I will continue to exercise and make my body stronger! Thanks again for Dr. Luo’s help~~” (Original) 駱醫生您好,謝謝您幫助我找回自信,老實說在動男性女乳症的手術前,我對人生是覺得十分無助,每天都要在意別人的眼光,走路的時候也時常彎腰駝背,絲毫沒有一點身為男生的自信心。大概是從國二的時候開始,慢慢覺得自己的胸部有變大的趨勢,起初以為是肥胖所導致,所以沒有很在意。後來我因為這個關係被嘲笑、取綽號,我才覺得不太對勁。為甚麼我的胸部會長得像女生這樣?我也是從那個時候變得不太敢與人交際,出門的時候衣服總是會多穿幾件,甚至是大熱天我也是穿著外套不敢脫掉。到了高一,情況仍沒有好轉,胸部也持續地在長大。這讓我十分困擾,於是我想到了一個壞方法,就是用膠帶想辦法把我的胸部黏小一點,在當時,我並沒有想那麼多,覺得只要能把胸部變小就很開心了。所以我每天早上起床後,換衣服前,我都自己一個人在房間,用大型膠帶把胸部黏小,一黏就黏到高中畢業。之後我有意識到這樣黏下去也不是一個辦法,胸部甚至被我黏到有膠帶的痕跡。在這之前我都一直有上網尋找有關這個方面的問題,了解到這其實是所謂的男性女乳症。但在高中的這段期間,我不斷地想和爸媽提到這個問題,但不是被以我是男生有胸部沒關係之類的話退縮回去,不然就是我的膽小、懦弱的內心驅使我不敢與爸媽討論。直到我高中畢業後的暑假,心想要升大學了,想讓自己重新開始,於是我鼓起勇氣,向爸爸媽媽認真的談論有關男性女乳症的事情,並且和他們說我想治療。終於我爸媽接受了我的看法,也找到了林口長庚的整形外科的駱醫師,幫我做有關這方面的手術。 手術當天,我並不害怕,因為這是我自己要求的,進手術室時,護士阿姨也跟我聊了一下天,讓我心情更為放鬆。打了麻藥,我就漸漸的昏了過去,當我再次醒來時,手術已經結束,過程中完全沒有任何的疼痛感,只是剛醒來時會有些呼吸困難,可能是剛退麻藥的關係。手術完之後我發現我身上已經穿了事先訂作好的塑身衣,覺得身體有些壓迫感,尤其是胸部有時候會覺得不太舒服,但過了幾個禮拜之後習慣了。手術後我很滿意我的身材,也對自己充滿自信許多,不用再在意別人的眼光,不用再多穿衣服遮遮掩掩,這是讓我最感到開心的地方。而駱醫師叮嚀我可以開始健身,我也都有聽進去。術後至今已經快八個月,我持續的都有在健身,尤其是希望能把胸肌練得更好看一些,體態也變得比以前好看了許多。將來我也會持續不斷的健身,讓身材更為壯碩! 再次感謝駱醫師的幫忙~~

Post op he came to see me , next day he came and seen me also. I came to see him in the city back and forth until I was ready to off to the world with this new bod! Dr Lao is very nice and has a lot of PATIENCE. After 3 years later he still touches bases to make sure everything is still OK! Dr Lao is my #1 go to Dr. from now on!!”

Z, 33, Hispanic, Female, New York VIEW HER STORY Thank you Dr. William Lao for being a great doctor and also very helpful and patient. All ladies I recommend doctor Lao William for all your cosmetic procedures he is so great. He took about an hour explaining every detail in my first consultation and also after my surgery he called every day to check on me , and also with emails making sure I’m following all the instructions. I had a tummy tuck and Lipo and fixed hernia at the same time. I am so happy about the results. I had twins and after I lost the weight I had saggy skin. And then there was no way around fixing it but to this procedure, I really recommend you do it, and also use Dr William Lao at Lenox Hill Hospital. He is the best I have after being on many consultations with different doctors, nothing comparing to his service. Great! Dr William Lao!

S, 36, Caucasian, Male, Physician, New York VIEW HIS STORY Future Patients, I am nearly one month post-surgery and I am extremely satisfied with my results. The process has made me reflect on my past journeys with weight loss and exercise. I remember when I was 20 y/o, I was out of shape and had no concept of a healthy diet or adequate physical activity. At 24, I hired a personal trainer with whom I was dedicated to for an entire year. During that time, I saw major progress and realized that even in the absence of surgery, I still needed to continue with good habits. Fast forward ten years, I had been a teacher, had completed medical school and residency training. The demands were high and time was limited. I slowly gained 25 pounds in the process. Luckily, after medical training, I continued on with another trainer for a year. During that time, I looked the best I could have ever imagined. I was proud of my progress and could finally consider myself “in shape,” but despite my best efforts, I still had a large pouch of skin below my belly button. It would not go away. I took some time to consider my options. I revisited the idea of having an abdominoplasty. Truthfully, this time around I had invested great efforts and felt that it was worth pursuing. Being a physician, I am very detail-oriented. I was searching for a surgeon who was similar. Perhaps the most difficult part of the process was finding good and reliable clinicians. After an exhaustive search, I was pleased to discover that Dr. Lao’s clinic at Lenox Hill had a fantastic reputation. I immediately booked my consultation. I requested to work with the “best” surgeon. Immediately, smiling staff members began recommending Dr. Lao. From the initial consultation, I knew that Dr. Lao was different. He spent a little extra time really trying to envision my goals and expectations. In addition, he has an amazing personality and really made me feel comfortable about me and my body from the very beginning. He was a true example of professionalism. Once I saw photos of past tummy tucks that he performed, I was completely sold and booked my surgery. The evening of surgery, he happened to be around and came to my room to check on me. Surgeons never have time to do that. He then re-evaluated me again in the morning. After I was discharged, he was consistent in following-up on my progress. When I had questions or other minor issues manifested, he was very easy to contact and replied very quickly to my messages. His calm demeanor displayed and earnest concern for me as a patient made me even more confident that I was receiving the best care possible. No stone was ever left unturned. It has been 4 weeks since my procedure. It has been a journey to say the least. His refined skills yielded a flat abdomen, a flawless belly button, and quickly-healing incision. After two weeks, much of the side incisions were barely visible. I cannot wait to see the results 6 months from now. After 3 weeks, I shared my results with co-workers, friends, and family members. The abdominoplasty looked so good that I had to acquiesce to my desires to wait until there was less swelling. However, at that time, I was so pleased with my results that I had to share. Everyone was in a state of amazement. Jaws were dropping in front of my eyes. I could not have felt better about myself and my results. In addition, several were so impressed that the requested his contact information as they wanted similar results for themselves. In conclusion, I am ecstatic!. I cannot wait to see how my life will be for me moving forward. Dr. Lao truly changed my life in way unimaginable. I highly recommend him for your future care. Best of Luck, Dr. S

P, 34, Hispanic, Female, Housewife, New York VIEW HER STORY I had a abdominoplasty with lipo of the flanks lipo on the back and also inner thighs on March 30, 2015. The Abdominoplasty did not hurt from my experience only bcuz I had prior 2 C-sections so to me it felt about the same. I must say the first 4 days after surgery is very painful. My suggestion is make sure you have someone with you bcuz your going to need extra help to recuperate. Other then that I am very HAPPY with my results. Dr. Lao is so amazing and patient with you. After surgery, next day Dr. Lao comes to see you make sure everything nd yourself is going well. Once you are discharged home he continues to make house calls to follow-up. I would recommend Dr. Lao to anyone such an amazing Dr. So excited with my new curves…So for anyone out there who is scared of going for this procedure it’s a piece a cake and well worth it…Treat yourself!

Y, 45, Caucasian, Female, Office Worker, New York, USA “Three years after giving birth to my baby by C section, finally decided to do abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) mainly to rid of a terrible post operation scar and extra skin. I was recommended to see Dr. Lao. Made an appointment and everything was very prompt. Not knowing much about the procedure other than information online and what I’ve heard from people, I was highly doubtful and worried. However once I met Dr. Lao and explained to me the details of the procedure thoroughly I decided to go with it. As any worried and curious patient, I had questions and he answered them very clearly with confidence, I felt very at ease. Dr Lao was very friendly, easy, confident and courteous. The entire office environment was very relaxed and organized. He explained to me what to expect, the post operation timing, I was also very particular with the timing of the surgery and Dr Lao accommodated my schedule. On the day of the surgery I was extremely nervous and Dr Lao again made me feel comfortable and optimistic. I saw him right after the surgery where he explained how the procedure went and what to expect in terms of recovery. Then I saw Dr Lao a week later and was very pleased to see the results. The healing process went well and the scar looked much better than what I expected and saw on internet. He reconstructed my belly button and I was very happy and pleased with the appearance. Throughout the whole process, from the beginning until after operation, Dr Lao answered my questions and emails quite quickly and even called me right reading my emails. I am very happy I chose Dr Lao to perform my surgery, the whole team was just wonderful, caring and friendly. Thank you Dr Lao! “Через три года после рождения моего ребенка Я наконец решила сделать пластику живота, главным образом чтобы избавиться от страшного после операционного шрам и экстра кожи. Мне рекомендовали доктора Лао. Я назначила визит который назначили очень быстро. Не зная многого о процедуре, кроме информации онлайн и что я слышала от людей я была весьма сомнительно настроена и беспокоилась. Однако, как только я встретила доктора Лао и он объяснил мне подробно о процедуре, я решила рискнуть. Как у любого переживающего и любознательного пациента у меня возникaли вопросы и он отвечал на них очень четко и с уверенностью. Я чувствовалa себя очень непринужденно в присутсвии доктора Лао, он всегда очень дружелюбнo настроен, уверен в себе и вежлив. Весь персонал офисa был вежливым и внимательным. Доктор объяснил мне, чего ожидать после операции. В день операции я очень нервничалa и д-р Лао снова заставил меня чувствовать себя комфортно и оптимистично. Я увиделa его сразу после операции где он объяснил, как прошла процедура и процесс восстановления. Потом я увидел доктора Лао неделю спустя и он был очень рад результатом. Процесс заживления шёл хорошо и шрам выглядел намного лучше чем я ожидалa и виделa в Интернете. Доктор реконструирован мой пупок и я былa очень доволенa как он выглядел. На протяжении всего процесса от начала до окончания работы, доктор Лао отвечал на мои вопросы и электронные письма очень быстро и даже позвонил мне сразу прочитав мой емайл . Я очень счастливa что я выбралa доктора Лао, вся его команда была просто замечательная, внимательная и дружелюбная. Спасибо Вам, доктор Лао!”

A, 33, Female, New York, USA “It has been nearly 4 months since my Tummy Tuck procedure with you and I’ve never felt (or looked) better! I wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me, I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I’ve looked in the mirror and actually liked what I saw. Having lost over 130 pounds, my journey now feels complete. You put my mind at ease about the surgery from the minute I met you. From the consultation to the surgery and even months later, I knew I was in good hands. You always gave me your time in describing every part of the journey and everything happened exactly how you said it would. You were always very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. I cannot thank you enough for the professionalism and warmth you and your staff have displayed to me. Your personal service, attention and follow up made me so glad I chose you as my surgeon. I cannot imagine having any other surgeon perform my procedure and I will highly recommend everyone to you.”
