Center for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery New York

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.

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.
