I had lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting with Dr. Lao, and at the same time I also did Ultherapy and Thermage. It has been a little under two months since the procedure, and I can already see a very noticeable difference. My face looks much tighter overall, and my eyes look brighter and more awake. In photos now, the under eye bags and the hollows that used to bother me so much are basically gone. What I appreciate the most is that everything still looks completely natural. My face moves normally and nothing looks stiff or overdone. Before this, I had tried filler to improve the under-eye hollows, but it left a very obvious “puffy strip” under my eyes. After the surgery, that area now looks smooth and natural. Another unexpected change is that my face actually looks slimmer, and my jawline is much more defined. But honestly, the biggest difference is how I feel. My under eye bags had bothered me for a long time, and after turning thirty I started to notice some facial laxity that made me look tired all the time. Even though it hasn’t even been two months yet, I already feel much more confident when I look in the mirror or take photos. Dr. Lao has a very refined aesthetic and clearly understands how to achieve natural looking results. I never wanted to look “overdone,” just more refreshed and like a better version of myself, and that’s exactly how the results turned out. I’m really happy with the decision and very grateful to have found him!!
I saw Dr. Lao for a breast lift. He was kind and informative. He answers all questions thoroughly, and is an extremely skilled surgeon. Would see him again if I wanted to get anything else done. Thank you.
Had a revision rhinoplasty and Thermage one month ago, and am really happy with the results. The entire process (virtual consultation, in-office preop visit, surgery day, and postop followup visits) has been smooth and seamless. Dr. Lao and his office staff are kind, patient, honest, and very experienced with Asian bone structure/skin/aging. The 3D simulation program was extremely helpful for visualizing goals and plans, and the real results were surprisingly spot on. The recovery process has been a lot easier than my first surgery as well, which I think is a testament to Dr. Lao’s surgical skill. I wish I had come here the first time around.
I recently had a breast augmentation with Motiva dual-plane implants performed by Dr. Lau, and I am genuinely stunned by the results. My breasts look incredibly natural, elegant, and perfectly proportioned — far beyond anything I imagined. I truly did not expect such a flawless, beautiful, and refined end result. Every day I’m still shocked (in the best way) by how perfect and harmonious they look on my body. One of the most helpful parts of my consultation was the AI imaging Dr. Lau provided. After years of hesitation, seeing a realistic preview of how I would look with implants gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to move forward. The AI photos were incredibly accurate and truly helped me make my decision — and the final result is even more stunning than the preview. The healing process was very quick and easy, and I felt supported and cared for at every stage. Dr. Lau’s team is attentive, warm, and professional, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. But Dr. Lau himself is on another level. He is a remarkably talented, gifted surgeon — precise, artistic, intuitive, and truly passionate about his work. The outcome feels like the work of a magician, not just a doctor. Choosing Dr. Lau was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I feel more confident, feminine, and aligned with the best version of myself. If you are considering breast augmentation, I cannot recommend Dr. Lau highly enough. He is, without a doubt, one of the best surgeons out there.
I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. William Lao, and the results completely exceeded my expectations. Dr. Lao is professional, attentive, and truly understands how to achieve a natural, beautiful look. His entire staff is warm, organized, and so supportive—they made every step of the process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and highly recommend Dr. Lao and his team.
Dr. Lao delivered exceptional results for my breast augmentation. From the start, he and his staff were kind, accommodating, and informative. He made me feel comfortable throughout the process and clearly explained each step. He also showed visual examples of different sizes, which helped me feel confident going into surgery. My procedure and recovery were smooth—I was walking and even went out to eat the same evening. The results look very natural, and his incision approach is essentially invisible; the scar is fading more each day. I highly recommend Dr. Lao.
Dr. Lao and his team are outstanding. From the first consult to my follow-up, I always felt informed, genuinely cared for, and never rushed. Dr. Lao’s caring attitude shows in every detail - he listened carefully to my goals, set realistic expectations, and checked in throughout recovery. My double eyelids look natural, symmetrical, and totally “me.” Swelling resolved exactly as he explained, scars are barely visible, and friends say I look well-rested. Impeccable bedside manner, meticulous technique, and crystal-clear post-op instructions. I couldn’t be happier - 11/10 recommend.
I found Dr. Lao through his outstanding reviews online, and I’m so glad I did. From start to finish, the experience exceeded my expectations. My nose looks natural and refined, exactly what I was hoping for. Dr. Lao took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and answered all my questions with patience, which really put me at ease. His eye for detail and strong sense of aesthetics are clearly reflected in the results, and I’m very happy with the outcome. Dr. Lao is exceptional!
This is an excellent clinic with skilled and polite staff. The results are very high quality well. What’s particularly helpful is how communicative the clinic is during the recovery process, so you don’t feel at a loss when recovering from a procedure.
I had a facelift surgery with Dr William Lao and I couldn't be happier with the results; my face looks rejuvenated and natural, and I am more confident in my appearance. Dr Lao took the time to explain the procedure, address the concerns I had, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. His team was pleasant and wonderful. As for the removal of under-eye bags, it’s still a bit early to comment on the final results as I am waiting to evaluate the outcome more fully. I’m optimistic and appreciate the care that Dr Lao put into this procedure as well. I highly recommend Dr Lao. His expertise, professionalism, and attentiveness truly stand out.
