Michael Law MD Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

I would never recommend Dr. Law. I had a horrible experience, and I'll need a third corrective surgery (all by a different doctor) in effort to repair the horrible deformity made to my body. Even worse, I never gave him permission to touch the area where he removed a large amount of fat from. I specifically told him in the initial consultation of this being an area in which I would not consider. He went against my wishes and never marked the area, or took any photos of the donor area beforehand because he knew that I would not approve. Please be very cautious! Cons: Deceitful more

I call Dr. Laws office to schedule a consultation. The woman I spoke to on the phone was extremely rude. She started bombarding me with questions in a tone like I was disturbing her day by calling. She asked me if I smoked and I said on occasion. Like when my friends and I are having a couple of glasses of wine on a Friday night after a long work week. The woman immediately dismissed me and said well you can?t have the procedure for 6 months then. I said what are you talking about?. She said if you smoke you have to quit for 6 months. I responded with I am not a full time smoker just an occasional social smoker a couple times of year when at a party or out with friends. She became even more rude?( if that is possible) and said well it doesn?t matter you can?t smoke for 6 months. I said well I would like to have the consult any way because I have questions. She responded with why would you want a consult when in 6 months you will need another consult. I said because I have questions whether I even want to have the operation. Then she sighs and said fine let me see what we have?\r \r After having such a terrible experience with this front desk woman I don?t even know if I would want to go there. By all means don?t tell these people your lips have even touch a cigarette because they will treat you like you are a criminal. \r Pros: none so far Cons: rude staff more

Well it's summertime and that means all the Wakefield Mom's are at the pool. Let's face it, a lot of us have had work done. But, Dr. Law's patients all look great. My breast implants are totally natural looking. In fact, I've been getting compliments on my bathing suit, not my body because my breast augmentation looks so natural. I know some people like the look of really large or ard looking implanys but I do feel sorry for some woemn who seem to be hiding the less tha natural surgery. One neighbor even showed me her horrible scars and uneven breasts. I really feel awful for her.\r I know some people who went to see Dr. Law and they decided to get less expensive breast implants from a different plastic surgeon. I don't know of a single woman that got breast enhancement surgery for another plastic surgeon that is acually happy with the result of their breast implant surgery.\r My breasts look, feel and move like totally natural breasts. I guess I could have spent a little less money and gone to another surgeon for my breast augmenation procedure but I am so glad I chose Dr. Law as my plastic surgeon.\r Before making a decision, look at all of Dr. Law's before and after photos (mine are there, and lots of others) and maybe go to the Wakefield pool. You won't even need to ask who has had breast implants from another plastic surgeon. it will be obvious!!!\r This surgery really changed my life. I look better now than before I had kids. I hope that every woman thinking about breast augmentation has the same wonderful result I have experienced. I no longer sturggle with what to wear of what I can't wear. Sundresses, swimsuits, low cut dresses, I feel great in everything and I feel very confident in situations where I want to look like a mom or a wife and not the person who had cosmetic surgery. I just look natural.....but really good!\r Thanks Dr. Law. You are the best!. Maybe next year he can work on my tummy so I can be out at the pool in a 2 piece!\r Pros: Natural Looking Breast Augmentation, easy to talk to, great staff more

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 Pros: Relaxing atmosphere, caring staff, exceptionally talented Surgeon more

My first consultation was awesome and my second was just as satisfying. Dr. Law has this gentle spirit about himself that extends out to you. His assistants, I forget their names were sweet and shows great confidence in Dr. Law. Now.... I had gone to other surgeon's in this area, but it was something about his gentle nature that made me believe in him and his work. First I had met with this young lady and we went over my options, discussed my health and what I was looking for. She answered all my questions and allowed me to meet the Doctor. We talked and discussed everything from people whom do not qualify to the type of equipment he would be using; he answered EVERYTHING. So we set up another appointment to draw all over my body (which was cool) and now I am scheduled to have my very first procedure....yes!!! I'm a ""Plastic Surgery Virgin"". I am having it done in December and I'm sooo EXCITED!!! So, I will be back out here to tell you guys my results, but, I'm pretty sure that they will be above and beyond my expectations(smile). For those that had a bad experience with the staff, be forgiving, they may have been on there period(hahaha) there's no beauty in that. BE Blessed and see yall in Dec '07 for a follow-up. Pros: Wonderful Doctor, Clean Atmosphere, GREAT Staff , Awesome work Cons: none at this time more

First the positive: My first consultation was great. I spoke with Dr. Law and his assistant. I've been researching about breast augmentation for over 15 yrs and was convinced that he and his staff knew their stuff. So, I made another appointment for a 2nd consultation. Again, I was impressed. I planned to schedule surgery but had a crisis and needed to postpone. This was around May 2006. Now the negative: About 3 wks ago I was finally ready to schedule my surgery. It's been something I've dreamed about since I was 18. I had an appointment for laser hair removal so thought I could make an appointment and pay my deposit then. I was wrong. I wanted to make an appointment but was told, by a timid and somewhat frightened receptionist, that ""only Kile Law can make an appointment"". I said ok, I'll wait. ""No, she is busy and you need to make an appointment with her"". I asked if he could call her, ""no I can't, she's my boss"". What!?! Kile's schedule was booked and I had to wait until she called me. I was a little perturbed but agreed and left my deposit check. Kile returned my call and told me that since it's been a year I needed to come in for another consultation to make sure I still wanted the surgery and she was returning my check. I said I didn't need to come in again, I wanted the surgery. She bluntly, rather rudely, stated the policy; no exceptions. I asked for the next available. She was booked but could squeeze me in two weeks. I looked forward to this appointment but, missed it because I thought it was for Tuesday instead of Monday! I even marked it in my calendar! Boy was I upset! His office called me, I profusely apologized & asked for another appointment, that I could leave right then and drive there/ No, Kile was booked until mid July! The nervous receptionist said Kile would call me back to reschedule. It's been a week and no phone call. So, I made an appointment with another doctor. Dr. Law may be good but his rude staff forced me to choose someone else. Pros: Talented doctor and takes the time to explain the details. Answers all questions. Cons: The staff. more

I am so happy with my results from Botox. I had Botox once before from anothger doctor in the area and didn't see a change so I didn't do it again. My sister has been getting Botox from Dr. Law for 3 years for Botox and she insited that I try Botox again. She was paying so I couldn't say no. Dr. Law's nurse did say that a very very small percentage of people don't respond to Botox, but many people don't respond if they don't have Botox that isn't fresh or if a doctor doesn't inject properly. I was ready to get my frown lines and my crows feet treated. But, his nurse suggested that I only get one area just in case I really was one of the people that wouldn't respond. I saw absolutely no change for 2 days, but when I woke up Saturday morning, 3 days after the injection, my frown lines were gone! My husband noticed that I looked great but didn't know what it was. I went right over to see my sister and she started to do the ""Botox dance"" I have been getting compliments from everyone.Most people think I've lost weight. Other people don't know what is different, but there is definitely a change. I look so much younger and happier. I don't look frozen or weird. I just look fresh and happy. Oh, and it didn't hurt a bit. For anyone who thinks Botox doen't work for them, go to Dr. Law. For anyone who has never had Botox, don't take a chance anywhere else. Dr.Law really is the best. Pros: Botox, caring staff, painless treatment more

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.\r \r 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. Pros: skilled surgeon, great staff, excellent experience more

After consults with two area plastic surgeons, Michael Law's quote was $4500 higher. This factored with his assistant's condescending attitude made me choose one in Durham. His assistant, after confirming my health history that I had not smoked for over a year, after a few minutes asked AGAIN ""Now how long has it been since you're smoked?"" I didn't think much of this until my second visit there when she queried me ""Do you live with a smoker?"". Both comments were insinuating I had lied, and I'd have much more appreciated it had she been direct in her accusations. Pros: can't think of any Cons: condescending attitude by one of staff more

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! Pros: NATURAL RESULTS, HONEST, WELL TRAINED, KIND, WARM more

I recently had a mini tummy tuck and breast augmentation with Dr. Michael Law. I never imagined I would feel so confident about my body after 2 c-sections. The results are just amazing. I just wanted to feel better in clothes, but I think I could actually pull off a bikini! \r I first contacted Dr. Law's office nearly two years ago. At the time I was going through a difficult divorce and not feeling like myself. Dr. Law's patient coordinator was so kind. She suggested that I take some time to decide if I really wanted surgery at that time or if it would be in my best interest to wait awhile. She said that I could have surgery any time and not to rush into anything. I realized that surgery at that time would have been a mistake for me and for my family. I had a consultation with one other doctor who seemed nice, but did not seem to care about me as a person, at the other office I was getting financing info and being asked about when to schedule. \r I chose Dr. Law based on his training and his talent, and referrals from other patients. But, knowing that he really cares about people (including me) was so important. \r I highly recommend Dr. Law as an extremely talented plastic surgeon who provides beautiful results and very natural looking results. Based on my experience with him, I also know that he is much more interested in each person's well being than just making money.\r Oh, I appreciate his philosophy about not posting before and after photos on the web. But his photos are beautiful, so look at them. For anyone thinking about plastic surgery, really take your time. I made a great decision by researching and choosing Dr. Law Pros: Beautiful Results, Kind understanding surgeon and staff Cons: The garment for my tummy tuck was not my best friend more

I had several referrals from friends to Dr. Law for both lipo and breast augmentation. But, I must admit I was a little nervous when I went to his website and didn't see before and after photos. Well, I contacted Dr. Law's office via email and they sent me the most beautiful and natural looking breast augmentation photos I have seen, and lots of them. Dr. Law just believes in protecting the privacy of his patients from any kook who might be surfrin the web and minors who shouldn't have access to those images. I respect his philosophy. Each patient was photographed from 3 different angles front, side and diagonal and eacxh photo was consistent. I read on some site that almost any plastic surgery result can look good from at least one perspective, so I was happy to see all the angles from Dr. Law.\r After seeing the beautiful photos, I scheduled a consultation. Dr. Law was informative, approachable, respectful and made me feel comfortable. I was told up front not only about the surgery, but about post operative care. I was told I would be seen 3-4 times in the first week after surgery. Another doc said he would see me 1 week after surgery. That sounded scary to me. Another thing I liked about Dr. Law's office was there was no pressure. They actually said, Take your time, we are not going anywhere. If and when you think this surgery is right for you, you can call \r Well, I did have a breast aug with Dr. Law my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I look totally natural, but beautiful and proportioned. I fill out my old padded bras and think a little bigger, but not so big that it looks obvious. It is exactly what I wanted and just what we discussed. Even the girls at the gym who see me in the locker room comment on how great I look. I just recently told a few of them I've had ""help"" Before that they thought I was just lucky. I highly recommend Dr. Law as a surgeon who is exremely talented, scrupulous and caring. Pros: Exceptional Plastic Surgeon w/ best training in N.C. more

So I had a consultation w/Dr. Law & have to say I was quite impressed. He reminded me of my previous surgeon on the west coast. Dr. Law understood exactly what I wanted & had some very good suggestions. I also felt very comfortable w/him & confident he would do a great job. I was anxious to get my quote so I could proceed w/booking the surgery. I figured since I had been through the procedure before I could estimate how much it would be. Boy was I off. The 1st quote I received was so high I was floored. But when I called back I did find out it was a misquote & they were redoing it. Well based on that quote I could figure how much it was per hour (lipo is charged per how long it takes) so I thought I knew what the revision would be. To my surprise, it wasn't much better, in fact only $1800 less when by the looks of the calculations (of time and such) it should've gone down $2760. If it had gone down that amount it was still about $500 more than I wanted to spend but I definitely would have done it. Its just hard for me to justify spending the amount they are asking; for that price I could fly back to my old surgeon (who is one of the best in that area and very well known). I was just hoping to stay local. Now I do realize my old surgeon did give me a good deal bc I referred him 2 or 3 people but I am still having a hard time swallowing this. I guess, all in all, I am just a bit bummed that they were unwilling to work with me and meet me somewhere in the middle (I know if they wanted they could've). So, I am meeting w/another well known surgeon in Raleigh, but I was hoping I could stop my search w/Dr. Law. I am curious to find out his prices (I hear they are fair from citysearch reviews). Maybe Raleigh in general is just more expensive. So anyways I would recommend Dr. Law as a doctor, he is obviously well qualified, but I am unsure of their pricing & flexibilty on this. I guess we'll see what happens and who I choose... Pros: Very qualified, great atmosphere, nice staff Cons: Pricing and willingness to work with customer on this more

I received a breast augmentation & lift from Dr. Law a year ago. The results are just fantastic. The shape and feel were beautiful & natural right from the start. Even out of clothing I look totally natural. 7 weeks ago I had a tummy tuck from Dr. Law. I am so happy with the way I look and feel. I don't look like I've had surgery, but I look great. Shopping is so fun. I don't have to hide my figure flaws any longer. Dr. Law is incredibly talented, kind and gracious. His excellence does not end with his talent as a surgeon. He performed surgery in the hospital because it is the safest environment & where my husband & I felt most comfortable. He saw me the evening of my surgery, the next morning, a total of 4 times in the first week. I have sent 5 friends & 2 family members to Dr. Law. They have all been delighted with their results (totally beautiful & natural) and impressed with the high quality of care he provides to each patient. I had been considering plastic surgery for many years and had many consultations with other plastic surgeons in the area before meeting Dr. Law. No other physician gave me the confidence that Dr. Law did, and no other plastic surgeon has the beautiful, natural before and after photos Dr. Law has. In other plastic surgery offices, I felt like they catered to people looking for deals and financing, or elderly people seeking reconstructive surgery with less importance placed on aesthetic surgery. My husband is an attorney who worked with doctors in CA, he discovered that Dr. Law was the plastic surgeon of choice for doctors and their wives in CA. Some still travel from CA to see him. I've known people who have had plastic surgery disasters. Don't let it happern to you. Take your time, ask a lot of questions, check the background of all surgeons and go with the best. Dr. Law is as good as it gets in plastic surgery, not just in NC, but anywhere. Really, check his background & his photos, you'll see. Pros: Natural Results, Best Training of any Plastic Surgeon I found, kind & caring Cons: Photos not on website, but they can be emailed LOOK AT HIS PHOTOS more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Law and his staff. I traveled from Miami for my first surgery last year. I had a breast augmentation. My breast implants look totally natutal and not like implants at all. I must admit that in the beginning I was frustrated that I couldn't schedule surgery immediately. I now understand why. He really is a master and there is a wait. I am currently recovering from my second surgery, a mini tummy tuck (to fix what pregnancy did). Dr. Law and his entire staff has been warm and wonderful. I hightly recommend him an an exceptional plastic surgeon for those seeking a ntaual looking result. Pros: Informative, Very Talented, Great Listener more

I have heard that for breast implants in Raleigh, Dr. Law is the best I was very happy with the photos his nurse emailed me. Even my mom, who didn't want me to have surgery said that he is the one I should choose. I'm 18. His nurse told me he won't perform breast implant surgery on anyone under 21. I have been thinking about breast augmentation for years. His nurse said that women change physically and emotionally at my age and that is why he wants his patients to be over 21. It really doesn't make sense to me. My mom was happy, but I'm not. I don't think any other doctor in the area has this policy. Dr. Law's prices were the highest, but I was ready to pay. I know some girls my age are not very mature, but I wish he didn't have this policy. more

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. Pros: Natural Results, Caring Dr. & Staff, Great follow uo care more

Dr. Law recently performed my ""tummy tuck."" The entire experience was WONDERFUL. Dr. Law gave me a natural result...my tummy has never been this flat in my entire life!!! The office is beautiful, comfortable, and professional. The staff is caring, friendly, and very enthusiastic. I am looking forward to having additional procedures performed by Dr. Law. I would highly recommend him. more

Dr. Law performed breast augmentation surgery for me. I had consulations with 4 other doctors. Not only were his before and after photos beautiful, he really cared and really listens. He gave me the name of three patients to call before surgery. They all loved him and his staff and were VERY happy with their results. Two of the women even volunteered to meet me and show me their breast augmentation in person. They looked beautiful and natural, not at all like surgery. I love my new look and no one would guess it's surgery. He was the only doctor who offered an overnight hospital stay and a device to totally eliminate pain after surgery. I'm glad to be a testimonial for his outstansing work Pros: natural results, he cares and listens, no pain more

I had some ""touch ups"" with Dr. Law. All the work he did was very natural looking. People say I look great but aren't aware I've had surgery. he and Dr. Kile actually told me I DIDN""T need something I came in for and was ready to pay for. Thety are very pleasant, very honest and he is an extremely skilled and talented surgeon. The entire staff is warm, compassionate and helpful. more
