Denise Wong, MD, FACS

I’ve always had eyelids with folds that looked prominent but weren’t very strong. I didn’t want a drastic change, just something natural that still looked like me. After way too many late-night research sessions (and briefly convincing myself I needed to fly to Asia), I found Dr. Wong. What stood out was how natural her patients looked—no “done” look, no surprises. The fact that she’s double board-certified and from San Francisco, coming back after her training, made me feel like I’d found the hometown expert I didn’t know I was looking for. From my first consultation, I knew she was the right choice. Dr. Wong is meticulous and kind, the kind of person who can listen to a million tiny questions without losing her patience. I was pretty picky about how I wanted my eyes to look, and she answered everything with patience and thoughtfulness. Now I’m two weeks post-op with zero pain and an easy recovery. Every day as the swelling goes down, I catch myself in the mirror and think, “Oh…this is going to look really good.” Dr. Wong and the whole WAVE SF team have been fantastic, and I’m so glad I trusted her with my face.

Dr. Wong demonstrated attentive and excellent care throughout the whole process of my procedure. She and her staff were thorough in making sure I knew exactly what to do pre/post-op, so I was able to take comfort in the fact that I was doing everything I could to avoid any complications. Dr. Wong made me feel understood when I was describing my desired look to her, and I could tell she was paying extreme attention to detail while operating on me. She works meticulously to produce exact and natural-looking results!

Dr. Wong is very detail-oriented and thorough. All my questions were answered and options were explained fully before moving forward with my upper blepharoplasty and ptosis correction. Initially, I was concerned because I have never had any facial surgery before and I didn't want to look drastically different. However, Dr. Wong worked with me and focused on my main concerns, which were symmetry and creating a crease that fit naturally with the shape of my eyes. The scars were strategically placed. Most people do not notice them unless I point them out. The healing has been a gradual process for me but very well worth it. The discomfort was mild and improved with each passing day. Within a little over two weeks, I was back to work and doing light activities. I am enjoying the refreshed look of my eyes now that I am two months post-op and people tell me that they cannot even tell that I had surgery----which is exactly what I was hoping to hear. For anyone considering eyelid surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Wong.

Dr. Wong is an excellent and attentive surgeon. When searching for a surgeon for my upper blepharoplasty, she stood out due to her meticulous attention to detail. She was thorough, answered all my questions, and provided realistic recommendations. During the procedure, she carefully measured and took her time to determine the precise placement of the incisions. I’m confident I made the right choice in trusting Dr. Wong with my eyelids. Thank you for your exceptional work!

Before choosing Dr. Wong I spent around a year looking for cosmetic surgeons who specialized in eyelid surgery. After looking over reviews and results of the surgeons in the Bay Area, I felt comfortable with Wave and Dr. Wong's results—and after looking at the results I can confidently say they were the right choice! What made me gravitate towards Wave and Dr. Wong was their results and the final look of their patients looking natural, Nothing was overdone. At my first consultation with Dr. Wong, she answered all of my concerns, went over the timeline of recovery, what I should be doing during my recovery, and what toe expect after. She was attentive to all of my concerns, never gave me unreasonable results, and the part that was most important—made sure that the results will fit my facial symmetry. I included a photo of how my lower eyelids looked after the procedure. I was trying to find a before photo of myself where you can see the my lower eyelids but I sadly wasn't able to find any. Truthfully, I never really liked taking pictures of myself since my bags were genetic and present since I was younger. after the procedure I feel more confident of how my eyes look as I don't look as gaunt. During the recovery process Dr. Wong made sure to check in frequently and see how my recovery was going. A lot of the swelling and bruising cleared up after a week, a month into the recovery process I was able to return back to the gym, and after three months I was given the okay to return back to normal—most skincare was included back to my rotation and working out as usual. I was very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Wong and the team at Wave.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to get double eyelid surgery. Dr. Wong is an incredible surgeon! Her patience and attention to detail are unmatched. My recovery was smooth, and any discomfort/pain I felt disappeared after just five days. Once the sutures were removed, none of my co-workers could even tell I had the surgery. My friends and family have showered me with compliments on how natural and beautiful my eyes look. Dr. Wong's skill is truly exceptional, and I am thrilled with the amazing results!

I found Dr Wong by online research as I began to seriously consider double eyelid surgery this year. I don’t believe we need to go to Asia/ Korea for this procedure as there must be a local doctor who can perform this procedure competently and expertly. That person is Dr Wong. My eye shapes were completely uneven, one eyelid is heavier, the other one has more loose skin. Eyelid tape never work on me. For years I rely on makeup and faux lashes before I leave the house. Dr Wong figured out how to open up my eyes and make them as symmetrical as possible. This demonstrates skill, experience and expertise. She performed what I consider as miracle work. Dr Wong took the time to properly conduct consultation, pre op, post op… etc. She was very meticulous and detail oriented. Dr Wong took all necessary steps to ensure my eyes heal well. She is a perfectionist and very trustworthy. The wave team provides detail instructions for post op care and is always available to address questions and concerns post ops. I am grateful for this procedure as it completely changed my life. Now I feel like my natural self, no longer self conscious when I look in peoples eyes. This is an amazing gift that positively improves my life. I strongly recommend anyone considering this surgery to see Dr Wong.

I'm a nearly couple months post op from an upper blepharoplasty and can't recommend Dr. Wong enough, she's a great doctor and a talented surgeon. Over the past couple years I've experienced heaviness and drooping of my eyelids, one more than the other causing asymmetry. It made me look and feel tried constantly. It was important to me to find a surgeon who specialized in eyelids and Dr. Wong's Real Self profile was impressive. Happy to report, it's an accurate representation of her skills. Dr. Wong is smart, kind, and attentive. I appreciate how much time she spends with me in pre and post op appointments. It's clear that she wants me to have all information, answer all questions, and ultimately cares about my overall health and wants me to have the best possible outcomes. In the operating room she's all you could ask for in a surgeon; calm, confident, incredibly meticulous. I was impressed with amount of time she spent marking me ahead of surgery. She really treats this as both a science and an art and takes her time to achieve the best results. The whole Wave team has been lovely to work with, All staff have been helpful and professional. They made this all so easy! My only regret is not seeing Dr. Wong sooner.

I did a lot of research for my asian eyelid surgery before I chose Dr. Wong and her team. I live in Arizona so I had to travel to SF for the surgery and post opt but it was so worth it. She is so sweet. Not only she answer all my questions during our initial consultation and make me feel very comfortable but she alway ask about my little sister that went with me to my first appointment during my check up appointments. She has a great bedside manner yall. On the date of operation, she is so meticulous when marking my eyelids before operation I thought that was the surgery.. it was an hour long.. seriously, I felt so freaki g happy when my doctor is that meticulous since this is my face. Her years of experience definitely show because the incision is so freaking perfect, I'm totally shook. I tell everyone after my surgery that she is not only a plastic surgeon but a freaking ARTIST. Honestly, this was the best investment I have ever made. I wish I found her 10 years ago and get surgery with her to fix my ptosis. If you are thinking of getting anything done, definitely have a consultation with Dr. Wong, you won't regret it. Updated on 8 May 2024: The picture shows my current eyes. This is about 3 months post surgery. The swelling went down a lot. My eye looks incredible and very natural. I don't have to wear a lot of eyeliners and feel much more confident.

Dr. Wong is the best! She both corrected my ptosis and gave me natural double eyelids that run parallel from the outer corner and taper towards the inner corner. She has been attentive and thoughtful from consult to post-op. From the start, it very much felt like an open discussion for what would suit my facial features the best. After we had decided, Dr. Wong was patient with all of my questions and concerns. Day of surgery, it was not rushed at all. Dr. Wong took the time to get every detail right. Post-op was smooth and Dr. Wong made time to provide any support I needed. In the past, my ptosis had significantly affected my daily life in concentrating. After a couple months, I feel completely recovered and do not feel any fatigue or strain from my eyes again. I am able to work long hours without getting any headache which I could not imagine before. Life changing! Aesthetically, my eyes look just as I had hoped. They are now symmetrical, open, and blend perfectly. I do not feel the need to stare at my eyes anymore and just feel happy and comfortable with my face overall. I have talked to quite a few plastic surgeons who are at the top of their field, and Dr. Wong is by far the friendliest. She is an expert who will help you achieve your goals. Look no further!
