What recent reviews say

Most patients report Dr. Maleki delivers natural-looking results with warm, thorough consultations and responsive aftercare. Staff actively support recovery, and his dual training as an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon resonates with patients seeking eye-area expertise.

However, a small but serious minority experienced major deviations from agreed surgical plans. One patient had aggressive skin removal despite documenting a conservative 1mm target; another underwent CO2 laser without consent and faced multiple post-op complications including asymmetry and functional problems. These patients felt unheard during surgery-day consultations and reported delayed or incomplete disclosure of complications in medical records.

Praised for
  • attentive, patient consultation approach
  • natural-looking eyelid and facial results
  • supportive, professional staff and nurses
  • excellent post-op care and accessibility
  • board-certified oculoplastic expertise
Watch-outs
  • procedure performed more aggressively than patient consent
  • poor communication about changes from agreed treatment plan
  • revision surgery did not resolve initial complications
  • functional issues post-op (eye closure, watering, asymmetry)
  • selective social media presentation obscures negative outcomes
natural-looking-resultsboard-certifiedthorough-consultationattentive-staffexcellent-bedside-mannergreat-aftercarepoor-communicationbotched-resultscomplications-not-addressedrespectful-of-goals
Best for: Patients prioritizing eye-area expertise with dual ophthalmology training and seeking attentive pre-op guidance.
Think twice if: Those requesting conservative procedures should document specific measurements in writing and request a final pre-op review to confirm agreed limits.

Strengths

  • Dual training: ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon
  • Established clinic (1992), under Dr. Maleki since 2018
  • Nurses accessible during recovery for follow-up questions
  • Thorough pre-op consultation emphasizing patient comfort

Worth knowing

  • Board-certified oculoplastic surgeon; also trained in ophthalmology
  • Aesthetic Lounge staff member (Sunny) mentioned for skincare recommendations
  • Nurses draft detailed notes during consultations
  • Patients praise minimal swelling and pain during recovery
  • One patient reported being offered post-op filler for complications rather than revision
  • Two patients experienced revision surgeries that did not fully resolve complications

Most patients report Dr. Maleki combines technical skill with genuine care, delivering natural-looking blepharoplasty and fat transfer results with strong follow-up support. A minority describe major misalignment between consultation goals and actual surgical outcome, along with dismissive staff responses when challenging results. The clinic's non-surgical offerings (laser, Botox, fillers) and surgical aftercare earn consistent praise. Named staff like Christina, Kay, Sunny, and Hatel draw specific mention for responsiveness and skill. Two detailed negative reviews cite aggressive skin excision beyond agreed limits and misleading laser package sales tactics.

Dr. Lawrence Tong: Yorkville Institute of Plastic Surgery

4.8(208)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

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.

Power Plastic Surgery

4.6(246)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most reviewers praise Dr. Power and her all-female team for thorough consultations, professional expertise, and genuine care that makes them feel empowered and comfortable throughout surgery and recovery. The clinic excels at explaining options without pressure, offering natural results, and providing attentive follow-up. Exceptions report appointment delays, strict cancellation rules, and frustration when requesting revisions or feeling dismissed about concerns. Services span breast work, labiaplasty, eyelid and ear surgery, and scar revision. Prices start at $2,960 for labiaplasty and $11,200 for breast augmentation. Some patients waited six weeks for appointments or experienced long waits on the day; one felt the practice was disorganized and Dr. Power unavailable during aftercare.
