Her Story

N is a mother of two. She works in the nearby hospital and was referred to me through her friends. She was most concerned about her protuberant belly. She has tried exercises and diet but was unable to reach the body shape she wanted. On evaluation, she had a thick abdominal wall with lots of excess fat. She also had separation of her abdominal muscle from previous pregnancies. To repair both the muscle separation and give her the flat abdomen she wanted, abdominoplasty with a focus on body liposuction was done.

What Was Done?

Dr. Lao is an excellent plastic surgeon, due not only to his surgical skills but also his caring nature. He has to be one of the most attentive doctors I have ever run into, calling me on a regular basis to see how I was feeling. I could not be happier with my abdominoplasty results. I look and feel amazing for the first time in years!

I thought about having an abdominoplasty with lipo of flanks since 2013, after I had my second child. I have been to many consultations and even considering going to Dominican Republic to have my surgery done at a cheaper cost and a more contouring result. When I went for my consultation with you Dr. Lao, I knew right away I wanted you to perform my surgery. Your honest, straightforward approach in explaining the procedure to me and humor, put me at ease. You are the most caring and accommodating Plastic Surgeon I have ever met. Thank you for always being there and answering my questions when I needed you the most. Your understanding allowed me to be comfortable and relaxed on the day of my procedure and after.

I can’t thank you for a superb job and I want to let you know how trilled I am with my results, just after one month. My new look has given me more confidence than ever. My stomach is finally not in the way and I don’t have to buy clothes to fit the additional body fat, I once had. The combination of your medical expertise and artistic talent fascinates me. I hope to one day select a career that is as rewarding as yours. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a great surgeon. Thank you again.

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.

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!

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.
