Chin Liposuction

A Talented Surgeon with Integrity

Dr Tong is the best of the best. I had chin lipo and an upper bleph done at the same time. It was the first surgery I've ever had done, so I was extremely nervous. He did an excellent job briefing me on both procedures and patiently answered all my questions. I am THRILLED with the results. He is a true artist. What stood out most to me about Dr Tong is his integrity. There wasn't a moment where he tried to sell me on the procedures (or other procedures). Every answer he had for me was backed my research and objective. He's great at being unbiased and just sharing the facts. When I was considering another procedure he told me I didn't need it, which further built trust. It's rare to find a surgeon who cares more about doing the right thing than the bottom line! I'll definitely be a repeat client.

Too Easy!! Wonderful Experience.

Dr. Tong and his team provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. He was patient, understanding, and took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly before my BA procedure. The recovery was easy, smooth and nearly painless, adding to the overall positive experience. His head nurse, Jean, was also fantastic—she checked in the day after surgery and responded to my emails promptly. While the office has many medical staff members, I had the pleasure of working with Shannon at the front desk, who was an absolute joy. Professional, skilled, and attentive, Dr. Tong’s team delivers beautiful results and top-notch care. Worth every penny!

Elegant and Professional Experience - Great Results and Zero Complications

Dr. Lawrence Tong is a top notch surgeon. I had multiple consultations across Toronto and decided to have an abdominoplasty at his practice, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Dr. Tong because he took the time to understand what bothered me about my postpartum body, he did not try to upsell additional products or procedures, and the final results exceeded my expectations. I had a smooth recovery, zero complications and the end result looks natural with an added benefit of restored core strength. Despite running a busy practice, he was attentive, meticulous and compassionate during my appointments. Everyone at the practice was responsive and accommodating throughout the process. The surgical facility was spacious and organized and his staff (office management, nursing and anesthesia) was dedicated to make sure the whole process went smoothly. Special thank you to Nurse Katherine.

Shaped my eyelids to achieve a natural, refreshed look without appearing overdone

I recently had the privilege of undergoing upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Tong, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the moment I walked into the office, I was impressed by the professionalism and expertise displayed by both Dr. Tong and the entire team. Dr. Tong  took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure in 2 appointments, answering all my questions and putting me at ease. The surgery itself was smooth and short, and the recovery process was  quick and less uncomfortable than I had anticipated. Dr. Tong carefully shaped my eyelids to achieve a natural, refreshed look without appearing overdone. I'm extremely happy with the results —I now have a more youthful, open-eyed appearance, and I feel much more confident.I am extremely grateful to Dr. Tong for their skill and attention to detail. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone considering upper blepharoplasty.

Best Surgeon in Canada

Dr Tong is an absolute miracle worker! From my first consultation visit to post-op care, I’ve been treated with professionalism and compassion. He took the time to understand my reasons for the procedure, and patiently addressed all my questions. Dr Tong was the only surgeon I consulted as his expertise and attention convinced me during the first visit. He was honest about expectations, a sign of a great surgeon. Shoutout to his team as well- Jean and Shannon- who ensured I was comfortable throughout the process. The post-surgery results have been exactly what I’d hoped for. The best part? I haven’t even reached the end result yet. Those skillful hands should be insured. Dr Tong is a top-notch surgeon deserving of every accolade. Thank you, Doctor, for your incredible work!

Dr. Tong is Hands Down the Top Plastic Surgeon in Canada

After conducting extensive research online for the top plastic surgeon in Canada, I chose Dr. Tong. While his impressive credentials, specialized experience, prestigious training in the US, and expertise in cosmetic plastic surgery initially caught my attention, what truly sets him apart is his remarkable talent (and artistic eye) for intuitively knowing what will result in the most natural and beautiful outcome. I was not mistaken, Dr. Tong’s meticulous precision, mastery of surgical techniques and dedication are unmatched. It's been six weeks and I could not be happier with my Asian blepharoplasty results. My only regret is not having done it sooner! The level of white glove service was unexpected — the caring and attentive nurses and exceptional support from coordinators Jean and Shannon (you are outstanding – thank you!) made the entire process enjoyable, painless, and easy. Dr. Tong is a world-class, supremely talented surgeon. I would recommend him wholeheartedly and trust him completely. To be perfectly honest, I feel fortunate that Dr. Tong practices in Toronto.

6 weeks post op and I am very happy with my results

I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty in Dec 2023 with Dr. Tong and at 6 weeks post op I am very happy with my results. I am a 52 year old asian woman and had very saggy/puffy eyelids which made me look tired and old. I asked for a tapered, low upper eyelid crease and he delivered. There was really no discomfort after the first evening of surgery and bruising was less than I expected. The incisional scars aren't that noticeable and I don't need to wear makeup to cover them up. Most of the swelling resolved by 3weeks and is minimal now and really just noticeable to me. Overall my experience was great and I found Dr. Tong to not only be a skilled surgeon with aesthetic vision but also has a wonderful bedside manner. His office is a well oiled machine, my appointments and surgery day were well planned out and efficient. His staff Jean, Shannon and the surgical nurses are all lovely. Thank you Dr. Tong and team!

Facelift

The results were even better than I could have hoped

I had a great experience with Dr Tong and can't recommend him enough! The first time I went to him was about 13 years ago. At the time I had a mini facelift done with a different doctor and the results left my eyes asymmetrical. I went searching for a cosmetic doctor to correct the problem. I set up about four or five consultations and no doctor was willing to attempt to fix the problem and suggested I had to live with it. Until I came across Dr Tong. He was able to fix the problem with an obscure procedure where he took the cartilage from my ear and transplanted it under my one eye. It was a success and I looked normal again. Now 13 years later as I reached the age of 62 I needed a full facelift, blepharoplasty and neck lift. For me it was a no-brainer to go back to Dr Tong as I knew I could trust his work. The results were even better than I could have hoped. People are telling me I look 40. When it comes to getting work done on your face or anywhere else you have to put a lot of trust in your plastic surgeon and I would never gamble by going to anyone other than Dr Tong!

Really happy with the results and the follow-up to date

I had gyno surgery with him. I had lipo, gland removal and nipple reduction. From start to finish you can expect a kind hearted, professional and talented surgeon. Really happy with the results and the follow-up to date.

Mini Neck Lift

Had my surgery one week ago - amazed at the results already

I can't express enough how happy I am with my results. I am pretty new to the cosmetic surgery world and was always a little intimidated and shy because I've heard alot of horror stories. That being said, that was FAR from my experience with Dr. Tong and his staff. The front desk staff were very friendly and on top of addressing all my needs. Dr. Tong was so warm and welcoming and thoughrally explained what my surgery options were and what best fit my anatomy to give me my desired results. I opted to have the mini neck lift which is the chin liposuction with the muscle repair. My double chin has always been one of my biggest insecurities and had stoped me from wanting to go out to social events with my friends (let's face it there's always a camera in your face!). That being said, having this be one of my biggest insecurities, it was so important for me that my surgeon not be judgmental and provide a safe space for me. As a mid sized/plus woman sized woman, I am always nervous about entering these kinds of spaces but I was treated so well during my entire experience and I cannot thank Dr. Tong and his staff enough. I had my surgery one week ago and am AMAZED at the results already. I know it may sound silly but this has really changed my life and I am thankful to Dr. Tong and his team!
