They have changed my life - my results are incredible
The first time I stepped into the Markham Institute of Plastic Surgery I knew that, that was the place for me. Dr.Kao takes the time to answer any questions or concerns you have. He is professional, intelligent and kind. His entire team follows in those footsteps. Honestly, they are so welcoming! Susan is the head nurse, she’s fantastic. From holding my hand in the operating room to talking with me to make sure I was okay- she is the definition of super woman. I cannot say enough

Caring and Professional!
I had an incredible breast augmentation experience with Dr. Kao to correct my severe asymmetry. I had a gummy bear implant placed in my smaller breast above the muscle. Dr. Kao is so friendly and caring, and took the time to adress all of my concerns during my consulation and sizing appointments. He thoroughly explained the procedure and possible risks and gave me a realistic idea of the results I can expect. I am currently 2 weeks post-op and am very happy wirh my results, but

26 Year Old Female. Lipo on Abdomen, Flanks, Inner and Backs of Thighs - Markham, ON
I am over the moon with my results! I hated my hips, there wouldn't be a day go by where I didn't dream of surgically removing my stubborn muffin top. Even with rigorous exercise (six days a week) and a stringent diet, it helped to shrink the area but not completely remove the bulge. Dr. Kao really made my dreams come true. Post op pain was five days of bloody hell. I reluctantly gave my prescribed bottle of painkillers a lot of love. I think that was largely attributed to a

42 Yrs Old. 36E to a 36B - Markham, Ontario, Canada
Good morning. I am awake and pretty stoned on oxycodone after my procedure yesterday at 12noon in Markham with Dr. Kao. everything went well so far. I was surprised when he told me that he managed to get them down to a B cup as during previous consults he wasn't sure at he could go much lower than a large C cup. Of course right now it's hard to tell because they are wrapped well and pretty swollen. I requested Oxycodone instead of T3 as I have had bad luck with T3 in the past

31 Years Old, 2 Kids, Lost 60lbs, Breast Reduction and Lift - Markham, ON
Since 15 years old I have wanted a reduction! I struggled for years with back and neck pain. After gaining tons of weight, 2 pregnancies, breastfeeding and then losing 60lbs my breast were so heavy and saggy. I decided to meet with a surgeon and he said I was a great candidate for the procedure due to my symptoms and the results I was hoping to achieve. I started out as 36DDD and ended up a 36b-small c. I am extremely happy with my decision. The recovery was easy and I didn't

21yr Old 34EE to 34C - Markham, ON
Currently 3 days post-op So far so good, my drains came out and there was a bit of leaking, but my surgeon quickly took care of it. I had the drains removed today and everything is going perfectly. I haven't had too much pain really just mild discomfort; though I feel a lot better now that I don't have tubes sticking out of me. I was terrified of the surgery tbh, but it was like I blinked my eyes and it was over.

30 Years Old. Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift, Augment & Flank Lipo - Markham, ON
I have had (and continue to have!) a fantastic experience with Dr. Kao. I first saw him 2 years ago for a tummy tuck consult. I still had weight to lose. When I mentioned that, most Dr's would pass you off as a waste of their time, but Dr. Kao was so helpful informative. He took the time to explain the procedures to me and answered any questions I had. I lost the weight and was able to have my surgery in June 2013. All staff there were so friendly and helpful, from the front desk

Elbow Lipoma - Markham, ON
I had a intramuscular lipoma ,,about the size of a plum removed from my inside elow area. my first visit was to an orthopaedic surgeon that looked at it and said it was a lipoma and doesnt need to be removed..if I wanted it removed it would be considered cosmetic. He ordered an ultrasound and then changed it to a MRI...thank goodness as my "cosmetic" lipoma was growing into my forearn muscle and would eventually cause nerve damage to my hand...I had my plastic surgeon remove it

I'm a 32 year old mother of two. My last baby finished the look of my body lol. I'm getting most excited that I will actually be able to stand naked In front of my husband. Also I won't have to tuck my sexy loose skin in my jeans everytime I sit down. I'm very nervous. Not sure about the pain. My youngest is 2 so I'm not sure how it's all going to work out for me being able to take care of her. Luckily my parents and my husbands parents will be watching her for at least the

Arm Lift, 25 Year Old, 100lb Weight Loss. Markham, ON
After working 3 years to lose just over 100lbs I wanted to walk down the aisle a confident, healthy woman. I heard many good things about Dr.Kao and his work from a good family friend that had seen him for many procedures. I was about to get married and after the weight loss is was very self conscious of the loose skin on my upper arms. When I was told Dr.Kao could help, had years of experience, and great bedside manner, I was sooooo excited to book with him !
