Dr Lao and his staff are absolutely amazing. I am 1 month post op from a primary BA, and my results are even better than the best I could have envisioned for myself (and Dr Lao tells me the results will look even better in another few months). My new breasts look very natural, make a huge difference in how I look in clothing (I was flat before), and can be shown/enhanced or hidden however I like (which was important to me). I'd been carefully researching BA for the past 2 years and have consulted with and/or researched many surgeons in NY, Miami, LA, and Seoul, but I knew that Dr Lao would be the best choice once I visited him and saw photos of his work. Dr Lao has a lot of integrity - he listens to your concerns and preferences but also provides his professional opinion and is honest about what does/doesn't work for your anatomy. For example, I wanted a very sizable increase without going "too big," and Dr Lao helped me arrive at a size after multiple consultations + pre-op visit. My surgery went incredibly well, and the recovery has been very smooth - I had almost no bruising on my breasts, was able to manage with just OTC painkillers, and went back to the office four days after surgery. Dr Lao's skill is second to none! Additionally, I want to call out his staff. They are so sweet and always available to answer questions (I texted them frequently throughout the process!). While I'm currently not looking to get more surgeries, if I were, I would certainly come back to Dr. Lao for them.
I received hair transplant with Dr. Lao. The whole process is very simple and comforting. The medical team is nice and put me at ease! I received detaile pre op and post op instructions. I love my results!
I had my ptosis correction and double eyelid surgery done by Dr. Lao in early August 2024 with a revision done in January 2025 and I could not be more satisfied by the process and my results. I had severe ptosis for my entire life to the point where my eyes barely opened and I have never had a surgical procedure ever. From my very first consultation with Dr. Lao I knew he was someone I could trust. He was always reassuring and prioritized what I wanted and established a good relationship with me beyond just being a patient; while I consulted other physicians, after my initial meeting with Dr. Lao I was beyond certain to proceed with him. This was the best decision; during my procedure, he was incredibly patient with my involuntary twitching and my high pain sensitivity, making sure I was comfortable throughout. My results were very immediately dramatic and incredibly positive on both my appearance and self-confidence, something I am immensely grateful to Dr. Lao for. Even so, he made sure to regularly check in on my progress and recovery, making himself available for a revision procedure at no additional charge when my recovery ended in a result that was not entirely to my satisfaction. Dr. Lao made my first surgery comfortable and approachable, and I recommended him to my other family members seeking similar procedures. He is one of the best doctors I have had and I will undoubtedly recommend him and seek him for future procedures.
I had an amazing eyelid surgery at Dr. Lao's office. I was first impressed by his patience and willingness to hear my ideas and opinion. I also appreciate his expertise and advice. He was always friendly, professional, and careful. I was very happy about my results and feel more confident everyday. The staffs are all nice and helpful. I highly recommend this group.
Dr. William Lao performed a forehead lift, lip lift, liposuction injections, Botox, and hyaluronic acid treatments for me. Both the doctor and the clinic nurses were very kind, friendly, and caring. The entire treatment process felt so relaxed, and I really appreciated how well they communicated with me throughout. The stitches are beautifully done, and I’m very happy with the results:)! I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Lao for his expertise, care, and attention to detai
When it comes to a plastic surgery, you want to find the best possible surgeon. I am lucky to have underwent my breast augmentation by Dr. Lao. I am 53 years old, but I feel much younger now and enjoy my new appearance after the surgery. Although I was scared about post-surgery pain, it was surprisingly manageable. I am grateful to Dr. Lao, other associated doctors as well as the entire medical team for everything that I experienced about my procedure.

Besides his professional bedside manner, Dr. Lao was great in thoroughly explaining different types of techniques for the procedures I was interested in, as well as the pros and cons for each. I ultimately chose non-incisional blepharoplasty and the whole procedure took about 15 minutes. His front staff is also extremely professional and very polite--something I wish I could say about more of the medical offices I have dealt with in the past. I wish I had gone to him years ago.
Dr. Lao is an exceptionally skilled and professional plastic surgeon. After thoroughly researching and consulting with 10 different surgeons for my rhinoplasty and chin implant, I chose him—and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My scars are barely visible, and I look like a more refined version of myself, not an entirely different person. This speaks volumes about Dr. Lao’s precision, artistry, and talent for enhancing natural beauty. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lao if you would like a natural looking enhancement. I would also like to mention he and his staff are just lovely people.
Last year, I had a breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Lao based on a friend’s recommendation, and the results have been amazing. I’ve gone from needing thick padding to feeling confident without even wearing a bra. Now, I can wear bikinis and all kinds of beautiful outfits with confidence. I’m so grateful to Dr. Lao for helping me regain my self-confidence. The post-surgery scars are barely visible, and I’m extremely satisfied with the results. Dr. Lao is also incredibly responsible and caring, scheduling regular follow-ups to ensure everything is perfect. Every time I go back for a follow-up, he treats me with the care and concern of a family member. He’s also very humorous and lighthearted, which helps ease any nerves and makes the experience so much more comfortable. Additionally, all the nurses and front desk staff provide thoughtful, attentive, and friendly service, which made the entire process even better. This year, I’ve already recommended other friends to Dr. Lao because of the outstanding results and trustworthy expertise. Highly recommend Dr. Lao for anyone seeking skilled and reliable care!
I had a great experience with Dr. William Lao and his entire staff. I was nervous about my procedure but they made me feel very comfortable. Today marks six month from my breast augmentation and I'm extremely ecstatic of my decision to get done by Dr. William Lao. He is an incredibly skilled and talented surgeon who exceeded all my expectations with my breast augmentation. His attention to detail and ability to understand my desires resulted in stunning, natural-looking breasts. I'm really happy with my results and the entire surgical process. His entire team provided exceptional care and support throughout the process. I feel more confident and beautiful, so HUGE thank you!!!
It is hard to determine whether the issue is with your right or left implant actually. from simply looking at the photo, The right (your right) actually seems to have the natural droop and tear drop shape, while your left implant appears to be too high riding and also contracted in appearance. It is possible you have something called capsule contracture on the left but physical exam will be needed before any useful diagnosis.
Not only you, but many of my patients also fear the idea of going under, but in any accredited facility with a board certified plastic surgeon, typically a board certified anesthesiologist will be hired to perform anesthesia for you. It is a very safe and relatively short duration type of surgery, if you do have any history of nausea/vomiting etc, I would suggest you mention it to the anesthesiologist prior to the procedure so they can tailor medication to ease with those problems prior to waking you up.
The short answer to your question is that there are many options available in terms of whether you need a lift or just a simple augmentation, what type of lift, and what plane (fascial, subglandular, submuscular etc) to put the implant under. From the simple photo, I would guesstimate that a simple breast aug with the appropriate sized implants will do but you should still seek a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate and exam you, potentially even give you a 3D simulation to figure out the best options.
Rhinoplasty is always about the overall proportion of the entire nose. From the straight gaze photo, the bridge does look slightly low and the bridge is not exactly straight, this will improve with bridge augmentation. But as you stated if you make the bridge too high, it will give you an "avatar" unnatural appearance, so it is best to see a board certified plastic surgeon and maybe most helpful if the surgeon's office like ours, has a 3D simulation program that you can simulate the different changes of your nose on your face (ie. changing just the tip, just the alar, just the bridge or all of them) for you to see what best fits your aesthetic goal.
Alar reduction is a small procedure that can narrow the alar (the wings on the side) but we all have to know it is normal for the alars to widen with smile and facial animation. So if you opted for alar reduction, it will reduce both alar width with or without animation. The other choice will be some botulinum toxin injection to the alar muscle so it widens less with smiling.
