I read many reviews from before and after surgery and I can confidently say I am one of the few if not the only one who only took 3-5 months from first thinking about having something done, to choosing a board certified surgeon, to having the work done. As much as I do want to share my experiences, I'm writing this review because I want to recognize and honour the level of skill, talent, dedication and commitment to excellence of the surgeon I worked with. There are likely other good surgeons in Canada, in Toronto and surrounding areas, but if you are still making your decision then you should at a minimum consider Dr. Tong as an option. The depth and breadth of his expertise and experience are second to none and it is that which helps him put together the best approach for what you seek. I never heard of a lip lift before I saw Dr. Tong so I didn't go looking for one. Yet, a lip lift and a lower blepharoplasty ended up being the long-term cost-effective solutions for 2 of the things that have been nagging me for a while. Not many surgeons perform lip lifts and in response to a photograph I posted before surgery, many surgeons suggested I didn't need one. Same with the lower bleph. Dr Tong saved me money I would have wasted in ineffective hyaluronic injections and gave me a mouth I never dreamed I could have. Oh, and the face and neck of someone 15 years younger. :) He is a lot more than a surgeon - he is an artist. I couldn't consider myself more fortunate and priviledged to have worked with him. You can judge for yourself.

Hard to tell separately...had 4 procedures done and stayed overnight. To my surprise, however, Dr Tong has lost were prices for most of his procedures yet his work is at the highest standard I've come accross

It's amazing how much younger you look... I'm having a mid face and neck lift, an upper Blepharoplasty and a lip lift and it's taken me 3 years to finally do this thing. Like you, I had never heard of a lip lift. My doctor told me jokingly, the saying 'Long In The Tooth' was a saying meant for people who needed to have a lip lid... Anyhow. You look so much younger.

It's scary how fast time flies. It's been 2 years since I had the FL, lip lift and lower bkeph and thought I'd add a picture without make up.

They uploaded with my last comment titled " 2 years later". They are not attached to the pictures I attached originally after surgery. There is also a post entitled " 2 months later" that has 2 extra pictures. Obviously the " 2 years later post" is the most recent. :)

Beautiful! Is the neck lift done with a scar under the chin? (May I ask how much the face and neck lift cost?) The way he does the stitches in front of the ears looks great. (Looks like it won't show when healed) Anyhow, thank you for your review, you look wonderful!

My response to you didn't load, sorry. The answer is yes, but the incision is small and placed into the natural fold and hardly visible. Dr tongs specialty is not what surgery he performs but rather how he performs all the surgeries: with great delicacy in handling the tissues and with small incisions and limited scaring..

I'll post a picture of the scar as it looks today, almost all months from surgery.

You look very pretty. Can you tell us what the cost was for the facelift for this doctor? I'm thinking of getting it done in the near future. I'm in the US but I would go to Canada if the cost is less than the US. Thank you

I guarantee the cost is going to be better.lol. Canadian dollar is pretty pathetic these days. I'm happy to share the price though it may be confusing Dr Tong breaks down the price into different components. For example the price of a face-lift (lower face and neck lift);is $8000 cad but to that you add overnight stay at the clinic, anestesiologist if you require one ( I had IV sedation) which adds an additional $3000 dollars, etc. For face-lift, lower bleph , lip lift, and 13% Canadian taxes on top ¥ which you might be able to retrieve) I paid $23.000 cad. 8 can tell you Dr Tong is less expensive than other surgeons I saw yet his work is second to none and he is a Board certified surgeon in both Canada and the US. I am happy to answer any other questions or put you in touch directly with Dr Tong let me know.
