Patient Testimonials
“Exceptional Surgeon, excellent results. I had been contemplating and researching aesthetic surgery for over 8 years. During this time I had 4 consultations, paying $100 for each of them. When I found Dr. Law's website I was impressed by his philosophy and ethics. After my consultation I was sure his website was not just great advertising but expresses how he truly believes and practices. This type of surgery is not a necessity, and I appreciate the fact that Dr. Law wants to ensure each patient is in optimum health before being accepted for a procedure. In my consultation with Dr. Law I found him to be respectful and caring, but also able to fully understand my concerns and offer wonderful suggestions. Dr. Law looks at each procedure with an artistic as well as medical standpoint for better than expected results. I knew I had made a wise choice and scheduled my surgery date with Dr. Kile, who also happens to be Dr. Law's wife. I was very impressed when she told me that their family takes surgery day very serious by getting to bed early to ensure Dr. Law is well rested and being sure he gets a nourishing breakfast. I had a full tummy tuck and after having the experience of recovering from 2 cesareans thought I knew what to expect as far as comfort after the surgery, but I was pleased to find it much better. Dr. Law strives to make his patients as comfortable as possible after surgery by using a pump that bathes the area of the incision with a local anesthesia, greatly reducing the need for other pain medication. I love the results and am in the process of scheduling the rhinoplasty I have longed for since a child. I have felt very cared for as a patient and as a person with Dr. Law and his staff. I have found Dr. Law to be an exceptionally skilled surgeon and feel so blessed to have him as my Doctor for such important life-changing decisions. Regards, D. Phipps”
“One of the BEST…. I am a 36 year old mother of three and was looking to have plastic surgery since I am not planning on having anymore children. I searched for a plastic surgeon for years after giving birth to my last child, keeping various websites bookmarked in my computer, when I came across Dr. Michael Law’s website. I liked his philosophy, education background and experience, so I made an appointment. I live on the west coast so in traveling to North Carolina I hoped that I would not feel disappointed. My friends even questioned why I would travel all the way to North Carolina when I live four hours from LA. I’m glad I made the trip! What I found was a very intelligent, kind, mild-mannered and conscientious doctor who cares about his patients, the best individual results possible and overall safety. Dr. Law really takes his time and gives you something to think about in terms of various alternatives. His work is tailored to you. I booked a surgery date soon after my initial consultation for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I returned to have my tummy tuck and I could not be more pleased with the results. I have my pre-pregnancy waistline (okay maybe a little better than the pre-pregnancy waist) back! Dr. Law may be slightly pricier than other doctors but his work speaks for itself and is well worth the price. Whenever I show anyone my results, they may say that they have found a cheaper doctor but they will not say that the work/results are as good. Additionally, I believe that certain qualities in a person are unquantifiable; integrity, honesty, compassion etc. Dr. Law has these qualities. I felt like I could trust him to do the best job. I had a benign breast lump which prevented me from having the breast augmentation that I wanted. Dr. Law expressed genuine concern about my condition and even gave me some insight into additional testing and procedures that I have the right to request. I plan to return to North Carolina for my breast augmentation when my doctors here give me the okay. I highly recommend him to people who are looking for a quality doctor and great results. He’s a wonderful doctor and an even better person.”
“After Much Research I Found the best Plastic Surgeon in Raleigh. I did a lot of research to find the best plastic surgeon for me. I first looked at training, evaluated medical schools, where they received training and how the training programs are ranked. I asked my gynecologist, internist, my husband’s general surgeon and every medical professional we know. Every single answer was always Dr. Michael Law. The medical professionals in the Raleigh area have so much respect for him. Finally, I hosted a “ladies night” including delicious rum drinks. The attendees shared a lot of information when I brought up plastic surgery. To sum it up, Dr. Law’s patients were the women who looked great but didn’t look like people who had plastic surgery. They just look natural and beautiful. Other women looked beautiful too but some had some pretty awful stories about experiences with other plastic surgeons in the area. I learned to ask about lawsuits and complications. Other plastic surgeons have some scary stories So, I decided to have a consultation with Dr. Law for my breast augmentation and chin liposuction. I loved all of his photos. His staff was amazing and when I met Dr. Law he REALLY LISTENED. I knew he understood what I wanted. I wanted to look totally natural. His photos are great but speaking to former patients was very helpful. it really helped me. They all said they felt like their new breasts have been theirs all along. After 5 months I am happy to report the same experience. It is amazing to wear sundresses, strapless dresses and workout clothing and feel comfortable and totally natural looking. My husband and I know how much better my breasts look than before surgery but friends others would never guess that I’ve had surgery, they just think I’m lucky to have perky breasts totally in proportion to my body and a beautiful jawline. I could not be happier with my results. Dr. Law has better training than any other doctor I could find. He is the surgeon other doctors choose for themselves and their families.”

Making breast augmentation appear natural
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
It can be very frustrating for patients who do not achieve the ideal result. If your surgeon is a board -certified plastic surgeon, I would urge you to share your concerns with him or her. A common issue that leads to an unnatural appearance after breast augmentation, even with implants of an ideal size, is inadequate lower pole dissection and/or inadequate release of the pectoralis major origin just above the inframammary fold. As a result the implants sit too high and appear excessively full in the upper poles while the lower poles - which should be the fullest area of the breast - are underfilled. In many breast augmentation patients, the inframammary fold needs to be lowered in order to allow the implant to rest at a level that appears natural relative to the position of the nipple and areola. In a revision like this, Gala Form or Strattice may be used to help keep the implants from dropping or changing position after a revision.
Finding the Most Qualified Surgeon-Please Advise
FaceliftMember Response:
I prefer the term ‘facial rejuvenation’ over the more antiquated term ‘facelift’, as many patients that I see who seek a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance undergo a set of surgical procedures very different from what would have been considered a ‘facelift‘ twenty-five years ago.Ideally, you can find a plastic surgeon you trust to determine the approach that will be best for you. No two facelifts are exactly alike as no two faces are exactly alike. Do start with ASPS members. Then, look at a lot of photos. Try to find images of people with a starting point similar to yours with results you like. Then, consider a consultation.
When will I see the final results of my gynecomastia surgery?
Male Breast ReductionMember Response:
The final results of gynecomastia will be due in part of how extensive the procedure is. If a man has very extensive fat and excess tissue, the healing process will likely take longer than a less extensive case. Although most men will see a significant change almost immediately, and will feel more comfortable both out of clothing and in form fitting shirts almost immediately. Complete healing may take many months. On rare occasions, a revision may be necessary. It is important for patients to communicate with their surgeon and to report any concerns.
Enlarged nipples after gynecomastia surgery.
Male Breast ReductionMember Response:
Gynecomastia is a common issue than many men and boys deal with. It is essentially excess fullness of the breast or chest area. The fullness can be excess fat alone, but most often, it is a combination of excess glandular tissue or perhaps excess glandular tissue and excess fat. It is actually not unusual for gynecomastia surgery to include reducing the size of the male nipples. Enlargement of the nipples post surgery might be a temporary part of the healing process. I would suggest sharing these concerns with your surgeon right away.
How much would this cost
Neck LiftMember Response:
Congratulations on your weight loss. The cost of surgery will vary depending upon the length of time of the procedure. There is no fee schedule for facial surgery as it is always customized for each patient. Look for a plastic surgeon board-certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. Facial rejuvenation should be performed in an accredited surgical facility. Look at the work of several plastic surgeons, check their philosophy on their websites and then consider consultations.
Dermal fillers/ with breast implants
Dermal FillersMember Response:
Structural fat grafting can be used to help with asymmetry of the breasts. I often incorporate fat grafting as part of the surgical plan where there is significant asymmetry pre-operatively , or in some cases in women with very limited breast tissue to help camouflage the implants and create a very natural looking result.
What's The Difference
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
A breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that adds volume to the breasts by adding breast implants, and or fat. There is a significant limitation to adding volume with fat alone, but it can be used to add minimal volume. A breast lift is designed to life breasts that are saggy or droopy. In some cases, breasts that have lost perkiness may also have lost volume . If enough breast tissue exists, the breast tissue can be used to create fullness in the upper pole of the breast with an auto-augmentation mastopexy. Other times, a breast lift may be combined with breast implants if a woman desires breasts that are fuller and lifted. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience with all types of breast rejuvenation procedures.
I would like to know what is the price for dermabrasion
Cosmetic SurgeryMember Response:
The cost for any surgical procedure really depends upon the amount of time required to perform the surgery. Dermabrasion has its' place in plastic surgery, but today there are many, many other alternatives that may provide you with the result you are hoping to achieve with a significantly shorter and more pleasant recovery time. You may wish to consult with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who performs a full spectrum of skin rejuvenation treatments including facial surgery, laser skin rejuvenation, microneedling, PRP, or PRF , chemical peels, etc.
Chiseled facial looks/ baby fat
Cheek AugmentationMember Response:
Congratulations on your weight loss. Liposuction of the chin and or jawline can provide a more defined neckline and jaw for many people. To augment the jaw further, fat grafting, or filler can also be used.
ISO surgeon who specializes in breast reduction
Breast ReductionMember Response:
In my practice, I use a vertical scar incision technique for patients who desire a breast reduction. This technique eliminates the long, horizontal incision in the fold below the breast. The vertical breast augmentation mastopexy was initially developed by Belgian breast surgeon Dr. Madeline Lejour (who adapted her procedure from the work of two pioneering French breast surgeons). I use a modification of Dr. Lejour’s technique that was developed by Dr. Elizabeth Hall-Findlay of Banff, Alberta Canada. Dr. Hall-Findley’s technique provides beautiful, consistent results. When searching for a plastic surgeon to perform breast reduction surgery, you may wish to ask if they use Dr. Hall-Findlay's technique.
Dangerous
Mommy MakeoverMember Response:
There is a very broad definition of what constitutes a Mommy Makeover. It is not unusual, and can be safe to perform a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck together. of course it depends on the health of the patient and the extent of surgery. I personally would not perform a circumferential body lift and a breast augmentation together. I think that would be pushing the limits of safety. It is most important to think about safety, but one should also consider the recovery when multiple surgeries are performed. A very extensive surgery may also mean an extensive recovery.
Ulthera an option?
Eyelid SurgeryMember Response:
At 20 years old, it is unlikely that you are ready for surgical or non-surgical intervention of the upper eyelid. Take a look at fashion models. Fullness in the upper eyelid is present. It is a sign of youth and beauty.
Hooded almond eyes for men with plastic surgery?
Eyelid SurgeryMember Response:
A lateral canthopexy can lift the corners of the eye and can give a more almond shaped appearance in people with laxity in the lower lids. This procedure should be done very conservatively to prevent a strange cat-like appearance. Fat grafting of the brow / upper lid junction, in the right patient with hollowed upper eyelids can provide a wonderful, natural looking result that can make a man or woman look more vibrant and youthful. This procedure will not make deep set eyes appear more prominent.
Gynecomastia with incision under nipple only(no liposuction)
Breast ReductionMember Response:
Congratulations on your weight loss. Being at or near your ideal weight is a great place to start for gynecomastia surgery. Certainly there are some men with excess glandular tissue only who do not require liposuction. if you are avoiding liposuction due to a concern of scarring, you should not let that worry you. The scars related to gynecomastia surgery often fade to being virtually imperceptible. Most of my gynecomastia patients are comfortable being shirtless during outdoor and sporting events and in intimate moments. Be careful too about the way in which glandular tissue is removed. I often perform gynecomastia revision surgery for patients who had surgery performed elsewhere. The most common correction is for men who experience divots and irregular contours after surgery.
Fat Transfer
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
The reason you are likely having trouble finding before and after images of fat grafting to the breasts is because fat grafting is rarely used as a stand alone procedure for breast augmentation. Fat grafting, when performed by a plastic surgeon with experience and expertise works. The results can be permanent. I use fat grafting almost daily in surgery with beautiful results. In the breasts, like the face, fat grafting can be permanent, but large volume fat grafting will not likely last and the results would be unpredictable. I use fat grafting to contour during breast augmentation procedure or to add balance and fullness to a breast lift. If a surgeon does offer fat grafting alone for breast augmentation, my suggestion would be to view before and after photos at the six month and twelve month mark so you can observe the final result.
Tiny breast
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
The brand of implant is less important than the plastic surgeon performing your procedure. Women with very limited breast tissue can have a beautiful result from breast augmentation. Some plastic surgeons have a special interest in performing breast augmentation on athletes and others with limited breast tissue who seek a natural looking result with small implants. Small implants can look unnatural. A beautiful, natural result depends upon the placement and position of the implants. Consider looking for a plastic surgeon with a photo gallery just for athletes or small breasted women.
Breast lift
Breast LiftMember Response:
The goal of a breast lift, whether using breast implants or not, is for the breasts to look and feel lifted, perky and youthful. Women seeking a breast lift often feel their breasts are hanging and heavy. A breast lift should correct that concern. A lift with implants, or even and auto-augmentation mastopexy creates fullness in the upper pole of the breast using your own tissue. Breast implants should move like real breasts, so that could be interpreted as bounce in the breasts.
Fat transfer for correcting breast reduction?
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
I often use fat grafting as part of breast augmentation surgery. Fat grafting alone will not result in a significant change in volume, but it can help with perfecting the shape and balance in some cases of breast augmentation. For women who are interested in explantation, fat grafting can also help with shape and balance. As someone who has performed fat grafting almost daily for the past 17 years, I am very confident that fat grafting can and does last in the face, and produce very beautiful and natural looking results. It can and does also last in the breast, but for very small volume. Fat grafting is not a substitute for breast augmentation with implants.
Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation (Implants)
Breast LiftMember Response:
I regularly perform breast augmentation surgery for patients who participate in body building, fitness and figure competitions. While many are initially concerned about subpectoral placement and the potential for distortion of the appearance of augmented breasts when the pec major muscles contract, I am absolutely confident that the aesthetic outcome for these patients will be far superior with implants placed in a subpectoral position. A pre-pectoral (aka submammary) implant in a slender patient, especially one with well-developed muscles, looks just as you imagine it would: like a foreign object, not like a natural-appearing breast. I understand the need for a rapid recovery as many of my patients are very athletic. Recovery is shorter today than in years past due to pain control during surgery. I urge you to think about the lifetime result.
Scar tissue or more Gynecomastia
Breast ReductionMember Response:
I think you should make and appointment to see your surgeon. I'm sure you are eager to be completely healed, and so is your surgeon. I imagine he or she would be happy to see you at your three month mark to assess the situation. The answer may be waiting a little longer, but there is no reason not to reach out at three months after surgery. Try to be patient, this may resolve itself.

Dear Dr. Law, I wanted to pen this quick note to express my sincere gratitude for you as a surgeon and person. My results are to be fantastic! How do I know this? Well, underneath all the swelling and bruising I can see how beautifully you have restored me to my youthful self. In fact, even better! Wow, you’re an artist and I won’t be able to think of you without the name “Michelangelaw” popping into my head! I know the surgery took you longer than expected & it’s obvious you did everything and more than you promised me and for this, thank you just doesn’t seem adequate. Perhaps more important than my results is that I know how hard you worked for me to assure my results will be the best that you can humanly make happen. I see and FEEL the attention to detail you took using all your skill and expertise for my benefit. It has to be physically and emotionally exhausting doing what you do, though I see in your eyes the commitment and joy you get creating beauty; this must be exhilarating!! To find someone with a calling and desire to pursue excellence at the level you do is quite race. I’m so happy I found you and chose you as my surgeon!! Thank you, thank you, Dr. Law!
“Best Plastic Surgeon in Southeast. I was ready for some changes but I didn’t want to have obvious looking plastic surgery so I took a lot of time doing research. After much research and many consultations in several states I decided that Dr. Michael Law was the plastic surgeon for me. His education, training, and results are head and shoulders above any others in this region. After Dr. Law’s consultation I knew he was the doctor for me. He identified issues that contributed to my aging look when we viewed photos of myself in my younger years. Some of the subtle enhancements, like fat grafting in my hollow temple area were part of the over overall effect that made me look so much fresher and younger. My surgery included eye enhancement surgery for upper and lower eyelids with fat grafting on my lower eyelids and cheeks and fat grafting to my temples and to nasal labial folds.. I had a suture suspension necklift, liposuction under my chin with fat grafting to my jawline to re-contour the neck and provide a nice transition from the jawline to the neck. He also shortened my earlobes that were stretched after years of wearing heavy earrings. Dr. Law and his staff were incredibly thorough, organized, kind both before and after surgery. He absolutely lived up to his reputation as the best plastic surgeon in the southeast. I felt completely prepared. I had all questions answered The recovery wasn’t bad. My results are absolutely magnificent. I have people tell me regularly that I look like I’m in my 30’s. The best part is I do not look like I’ve had surgery. I just look pretty amazing. I’m 50 now, my surgery was almost three years ago I think I look better at 50 than I did at 35. I told him he could use my photos so look at his office or on his website and look at his before and after photos. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Law for fat grafting and any facial surgery.”
“Honest Plastic Surgeon. I am so excited about my results from surgery with Dr. Law! I look like me, young, fresh, happy, pretty. Two years ago I had consults with 2 other plastic surgeons. I don’t think they are bad doctors, but something just didn’t feel right. After meeting several of Dr. Law’s patients and seeing how beautiful and natural they looked I felt like he was the one. Once I met with him, I was 100% confident. I did a lot of research and even though I knew he was the right surgeon for me. I asked a million questions and they were so happy to answer everything. I asked about lawsuits and complications and he’s clean a whistle! I had concerns about my eyes but said I wanted a full facelift to be sure my result would be even. He told me I didn’t need a facelift. He showed me on photos of my face how a small amount of fat grafting on my jaw area would give me the look I wanted on my profile. It was amazing! His recommendations were completely different than the other surgeons. They all suggested removing fat from below my eyes and an invasive endoscopic browlift that would have lifted my brows in the middle, not just on the outer edges. Dr. Law added fat to my lower eyelids and did a minimally invasive browlift on the outer brow only with one tiny incision in the hairline. He told me he rarely does endoscopic brow lifts any more. The result of my surgery is so natural and beautiful. I look just like me but so much younger, fresher, and happier. I feel so beautiful! Dr. Law is so kind warm and caring and so are his nurses and all the staff. They are really amazing. I told Dr. Law he can show my before and after photos to anyone. Go to his office and ask to see me!”
“Best surgeon in the area. Dr. Law gave me a chin implant and pinned by ears back (otoplasty) – and let me start by saying I am thrilled with my results. I went to three other surgeons, they all priced me lower than Dr. Law, but I didn’t get the feeling I had with him. He’s gentle and professional, and shows that he cares. He was upfront about what to expect, where others tried to sell me on different procedures. My surgery also included a revision, where the anesthesia was all I had to pay for. Dr. Law took my boyish looks and gave my face masculinity. His staff is professional and SUPER friendly. I’m not sure about some of the other comments here, but I’ve had a wonderful experience. They are extremely busy, which is reassuring when you think about it. I had to book months in advance, other doctors were willing to fit me in within a few weeks. It is true, they screen their patients carefully, as any plastic surgeon should. He is expensive, but worth every penny. In short, Dr. Law is professional, extremely friendly and genuine, his staff is wonderful, you may pay more, but in the end you’ll be happier.”
“My experience with Dr. Law was wonderful. He took his time in the consult, he understood and listened to me, and my results from his fat grafting are amazing. I am grateful that I found him and will be using him as my only plastic surgeon. – cassie”
Dr. Law performed gynecomastia revision surgery for myself, and several years later for my teenage son. The change it made in my self-esteem is difficult to describe. After having what some might call a botched surgery with a dent in my nipple and unsightly scars, I felt worse than before my surgery. I was amazed what Michael Law was able to do for me. Unless you look very closely, you would see no scars at all. Unfortunately, my son had the same problem. We first saw evidence of gynecomastia at age 13. Dr. Law suggested waiting to see if it might resolve itself. It did not. My son was not participating in sports or other activities due to insecurity. He had surgery at 16.5 years old and it completely changed his life and his posture. He was very concerned about others knowing about the surgery. After feeling more confident, he started working out and he was able to share with honesty, minus a few details that the change in his physique was due to working out. Since that time, he has confided with several friends, two of whom have also had similarly great experiences with Dr. Law. To say that he is an amazing surgeon is an understatement. He is also an amazing and truly caring human being
“Best Surgeon in NC if not the country! I own a business in the area and wanted to refresh my look without looking “done”. I also am in the service industry and make it a practice to only do business with businesses that focus on good customer service. I consulted with several plastic surgeons in Raleigh prior to selecting Dr. Law. I chose him because I felt he listened to me, understood what I wanted and showed me amazing photos of patients who had similar surgeries. I am so thrilled with my results that I hope he shows every one my after photos! I also am so impressed with his entire staff. Each time I have called everyone has been very informative and responsive. They are so concerned about me as a patient and person that it is refreshing. I feel that everyone who works in his office is concerned about my well – being and I could not ask for more. Dr. Law is a clearly gifted surgeon and has surrounded himself with staff who are also very skilled at their jobs and compassionate. I would recommend Dr. Law to anyone contemplating any sort of plastic surgery!”
“Worth a trip. I flew from California to have plastic surgery in Raleigh with Dr. Michael Law. He performed my breast implants in February and I was so happy I came back for my tummy tuck. I knew people who had surgery with him in California and I thought, If I’m going to make a permanent change to my body, I want the best plastic surgeon and one look at my body will tell you that Dr. Law is the best. I know he has celebrity clients, I’m not one of those. I’m just a mom who wanted to look great and not done. A natural result is what is important to me. People say I look great, but nobody thinks I’ve had surgery. My body actually looks much better than before children. All of you in North Carolina are so lucky to have Dr. Law so close.”
“Very Happy With Breast Augmentation. I am very pleased with the results of my breast augmentation surgery performed by Dr. Law. When I attend formal events, go to the pool or even go to the gym I feel much more comfortable than before and I look very natural. Other plastic surgeons seemed to have before and after images that looked artificial. Dr. Law’s phjotos looked beautiful. I spoke to several of his patients and they too were very pleased. His prices were higher than the other plastic surgeons I visited but this was absolutely worth the investment. he and his nurses are great and they seem to genuinely care. The care I received before, during and after surgery was phenomenal. He discussed particulars of my anatomy and how different incisions would work on by body. Together and with my husband, we determined that an incision under the arm would be best. I afraid that my breasts would be too far apart with this approach but he assured me though explanation and examples of photos that this would not be the case. he was right. The placement is perfect and my scars after just 8 weeks are invisible. I was quite surprised at the recovery. He used a pain pump and the pain was very minimal. After checking on his training, his background, the state board and looking at his photos I knew he was the doctor for me. After meeting Dr. Law I was even more convinced that he was a very good person in addition to being a wonderful plastic surgeon.”
“Dr. Law and his entire team at Blue Water Spa are paramount in aesthetic plastic surgery and medical spa treatments. As a surgeon, Dr. law’s meticulous skill and precision are a personalized gift he extends to his patients. His caring demeanor and respectful disposition are reflected in his patents’ loyalty to his practice. As a patient who has entrusted my body and face to his work, I can only praise his abilities and those of his staff. At each visit, the bar is raised for the next as I am always treated with utmost care and sensitivity. Due to the diligence of Dr. Law and his team, my new self has not just developed a more appealing facade, but also has grown in confidence and strength. I am grateful for Dr. Law and the efforts of his staff and recommend them proudly.”
“I had an excellent results with my fat grafting with Dr. Michael Law. He is an excellent doctor. I had a bad experience with a different doctor and Dr. Law save me with my frustrations, I highly recommend him.”
“My breast implants look completely natural. I have told some friends, otherwise no one would know. My Experience with Dr. Law was wonderful. A true artist and a very kind man.”
“Best Plastic surgery place in raleigh. This is the nicest place i have been to yet. i have several friends who have had surgery and they are really happy. I have been for botox and juvederm and have always loved my results. people always think i am in my twenties!! wrinkle free skin is always in fashion. I always have a pleasant experience and have found them accommodating whenever i have had an issue or concern. I would definitely recommend them if you are interested in botox and juvederm or surgery.”
“Wonderful Experience- Excellent Staff!!!!. I had lost a lot of weight but no matter how much I lost I still had my big hips and thick ankles! I had been thinking about having some liposuction for some time but was nervous and not sure about having it done. When I went to Dr Michael Law I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t your typical sterile cold Dr. office. In fact when I walked in I was greeted and given a glass of water and sat near a beautiful water wall, with pleasant music and smells surrounding me. First I met with the surgical coordinator who took the time to answer my questions and show me many before and after photos of Dr. Laws work. The next step was meeting the Dr. himself. He was very cordial and listened to all I had to say. Then he explained to me what, and how he recommend to proceed with the liposuction. I did go ahead with the procedure and had great results! He made it look natural which was the most important thing to me! My family from out of town just thought I had lost a lot of weight and toned up (exactly what I wanted). A new and improved me. I highly recommend using Dr. Law if thinking about having a procedure!”
“FANTASTIC SURGEON, SUPPORTIVE STAFF. After much consideration and several consultations, I chose Dr. Law for my long overdue tummy tuck. I was so impressed with the professionalism of his staff that I instantly had a “good feeling” about his practice. Once I met him I knew that this was the right fit for me. He and his staff answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable and clearly knew the things I needed to consider. Dr. Law and his surgical coordinator were so considerate of my concerns and gave me all the information I needed to make a good decision. They also had criteria that I had to meet to be a good candidate for surgery, they seem to be more concerned about my well-being than in just signing up as many surgeries as possible. His price was somewhat higher than other surgeons I consulted with, but when it comes to my body and having surgery, price is just not my major concern – surgical skill, lots of experience with tummy tucks, board certification, references from other patients, an in-hospital operating room, an overnight stay in the hospital and a realistic surgical plan are what was important to me. Dr. Law met and actually exceeded my expectations and was the obvious choice for me when I weighed my choices of surgeons against my concerns. I am wearing belts for the first time in years. I am excited about each season since now I can buy clothes that fit and are flattering. Dr. Law gave me those things back and I am eternally grateful. He is not only a skilled surgeon, but a compassionate and understanding person who seems to truly enjoy giving his patients the best possible results. I could not recommend him more highly and feel that anyone considering surgery would be well served to at least have a consultation with his office because they will learn so much and have the opportunity to have a highly skilled, well respected surgeon as their physician.”
