Dr. Lawrence Tong: Yorkville Institute of Plastic Surgery
Dr. Tong's clinic earns strong marks for blepharoplasty, liposuction, and body contouring, with patients praising his precision and natural aesthetic across multiple procedures. His team consistently calms nervous patients through detailed pre-op consultation and hands-on post-op care. A small group of facelift patients reported progressive unwanted changes and unmet promises around revision surgery, creating a meaningful counterweight to otherwise exceptional feedback. Most patients felt heard rather than upsold and commended staff by name (Shannon, Jean, Cherry, Catherine) for warmth and attentiveness. Recovery timelines align across reviews: swelling subsides within days to a week for facial procedures. The 4.8-star rating across 208 reviews sits above the non-surgical category average, yet the three-review cluster of facelift disappointment signals a specific service line deserving scrutiny.
