I Highly Recommend Dr. Law: He is Worth Traveling For.

I have a long, thin face and had undergone changes in facial contours and decreases in overall volume due to normal aging and an aggressive CO2/VBeam/IPL laser procedure. Following this bad outcome I wanted to do something to look better but decided that for several reasons, I did not want to fill multiple areas of my face with hyaluronic fillers. I began looking into facial fat transfer online and learned about Dr. Law. I read many reviews, watched his informational videos, and looked at his extensive portfolio of before & after pictures on his website. Dr. Law has more examples of fat transfer work than any other physician I researched.
I ultimately underwent two facial fat transfers with Dr. Law in 2018. It has been a little over a year since my first fat transfer, and 7 months since the second transfer. Through everything my experience with Dr. Law’s office has been exceptional. I was very pleased with how Dr. Law addressed my concerns, explained everything very clearly, and gave me realistic expectations. He was very easy to talk to and I felt confident that his opinion was sound due to both his knowledge and experience. In addition Dr. Law’s staff was very welcoming, professional, and thorough. The communication with the staff and Dr. Law was clear and consistent.

Out-of-Town Patient Experience
I do not live in Raleigh, but had no problems with traveling to Dr. Law for these procedures. I live on the west side of the country and I researched many plastic surgeons in the West, but none had the style, philosophy, or photo examples of natural and conservative facial fat transfer results that I was looking for.
I found that Dr. Law’s practice runs like a well-oiled machine for out-of-town patients. Every detail of my care was planned and taken care of, from drivers to the plastic surgery center, an aide to stay with me in the immediate hours following the procedure, and of course with the actual procedure itself. The attention to detail by Dr. Law and his staff gave me confidence in what I was undertaking and demonstrated how professional this plastic surgery practice is.
A word about Raleigh: It may seem strange to go to a city in North Carolina for plastic surgery while living across the country, but this decision turned out to be the perfect choice for me. I traveled alone for both procedures. Raleigh’s airport is small and easy to get into and out of. Uber transfer to and from the hotel was simple with no traffic problems for both of my trips. The hotels the practice recommends are near the surgery center, and the one I chose was private, quiet, and accustomed to having Dr. Law’s patients as customers. Raleigh is clean and felt very safe. Everything was easy about both trips, likely much easier and cheaper than San Francisco or LA or Seattle.

Fat Transfer in General
Overall I am very happy with my results. It seems to me that fat transfer can be tricky to get “right.” A surgeon needs extensive knowledge of facial contours and experience with this procedure in order to fill facial areas enough to make a difference but also not so much that the patient looks noticeably or negatively different. Dr. Law’s considerable experience with fat transfer and exceptional aesthetic eye contribute to him getting the amount of fat transferred as well as individual facial contours correct.
I feel my face looks very good compared to when I first went to his office. I have had small areas that have not taken the fat as well as other areas, but overall my face is not as drawn and thin as it was. My forehead, temples, brow area, and brow/upper lid junction look great. My cheeks and creases around my mouth have also held volume very well. My lips are slightly more plump but not too much, which is perfect. Dr. Law performed an upper blepharoplasty during the first procedure which was also done conservatively and I am very pleased with that result. Because the blepharoplasty was done with fat transfer to that area, my eyes look natural and are no longer hollow. Before the fat transfer my eyes were very hollow following the C02 laser to my eyelids and brow area, which was very aging.

With any cosmetic procedure my goal is natural results that are as undetectable as possible. I’ve seen so many pictures of people or have known people who have had cosmetic procedures done to their faces to look better but instead look manipulated, puffed up, fake, or just different. After these procedures with Dr. Law I feel I look healthy and good for my age, but still myself. I am so glad I decided to go through with the fat transfer and I highly recommend Dr. Law. I would return to him for any other procedures I may have in the future.
