The Institute of Plastic Surgery

I recommend Dr Tong if you want a Tummy Tuck. He was amazing! My recovery has been going great and I am so please with my results! The best thing I ever did was trust "my gut" lol and go with him after almost booking with another surgeon. He is a pro and cares about his work!

I had a breast augmentation surgery on Sept 20, 12 and from day one - my experience with Dr. Tong at Yorkville Institute of Plastic Surgery in Toronto, Canada - has been OUTSTANDING! He is extremely punctual, professional, knowledgeable and personable. During the consultation, he took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the procedure in detail, and answer all of my questions fully. Most importantly he clearly demonstrated that he authentically cared about my wellbeing (his staff was just as caring too). Post op - Dr. Tong even called to ensure that I was healing and feeling well! After the surgery, my results were immediately pleasing. There was no bruising, the incision marks was very minimal and I had very little pain. Family members couldn’t believe the GREAT results I have had – my breasts are perfect, and exactly what I asked him for. He is definitely an AMAZING surgeon. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. His incredible surgical skills, expertise, and compassionate attitude are incomparable to any other plastic surgeons.

My goal, is the same as others—to look like myself, only better. After undergoing 2 surgical procedures overseas,on my nose and eyes, I returned looking like a completely different person. I fell into an identity crisis.

I contacted a slew of doctors all over Canada and US to reverse what was done to me. Revision rhino is risky and I needed someone not only to remove my silicone implant, but fix the underlying landscape of my nose. There were many obstacles requiring great skill to navigate: scar tissue, swelling since the initial rhino was recent, tip re-shaping.

I scrutinized doctors: I needed the best, someone I could trust to make sure this rhinoplasty was my absolute last.

Dr. Tong immediately stood out from the crowd. For the below reasons… And these are also the reasons this surgery was a GREAT SUCCESS.

1) Trust & Care --- He will spend the time it takes to understand your goals. He answered the thousand of questions and concerns I had. He will invest/commit himself fully to your cause, before and after the procedure. He is honest—will tell you what to expect, and what is possible. He is uniquely patient, caring and detailed. He will not rush you on anything.

2) Top Expertise & Skills --- He has a strong reputation for amazing work and excellent academic achievements: He is affiliated with the highest rating hospitals in the past, graduated with honors, practiced for 10 years receiving glowing patient reviews, and continues to mentor future doctors in an affiliate program with the top universities. His ability to manipulate any and every part of the nose is amazing. Even talking with other doctors, they did not have the same technical know how to execute.

Other doctors said I could not get good results until I waited a long time due to scar tissue. Other doctors said they could not do the revision rhino because they did not know what the overseas doctors did, did not know what to expect under the implant or how to navigate it.

Fact: Dr. Tong is ahead of many doctors’ technical abilities and knowledge. Just ask him a question, he will answer it, while I have seen other doctors just have a blank look on their faces.

3) Strong Communication Skills --- He is extremely detailed, listens to what you want and covers the bases, that even I missed. He will educate you on what is possible and give you all the information you need. This is extremely important and the reason why my initial rhinoplasty failed: the doctors overseas executed what they thought was good and ignored what I asked. Being on the same page is key, just as important as the trust and technical skills.

THE BONUS: He demonstrates good aesthetic judgment. Many doctors do not. It is important you have the changes you want, but in gray areas, he is skilled at understanding what works, looks natural and good. There may be a nose you like, but it may not fit your face.

Fact #2) He understands the interactions between all the other features better than other doctors.


AMAZING WORK: Staff was very friendly. The procedure was painless despite all the fear I had from the trauma of the first rhino. There was very little swelling or bruising, even though he broke my nose to narrow it. This shows how skilled he is. Doctors who do a sloppy job induce more swelling than necessary (either they don’t break the bone properly or in the right place). He reinstated my original nose, and made it the nose I always wanted: a better version of me. It is straight, narrow, adorable, natural, feminine, complimentary to my other facial features… the best nose I could ever have designed or envision. No scar tissue or complications in sight.

I am so impressed with him I personally recommended him to my close friends, have ranted and raved about how amazing he is to all who know about my ordeal, and have decided to choose him for any cosmetic procedures in future.

Trust your face only with the best. After undergoing this, I learned how 1)Trust 2) Skill 3)Communication are the ingredients to a successful story. Seek out only the best, because fixing a botched surgery is a financial, emotional and life stopping tragedy. There is no price to pay for the feeling you can be yourself. This is what he gave back to me.

You can trust Dr. Tong fully.

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Tong and I am very happy with how it turned out (very natural and full). Dr. Tong is a really thorough and nice doctor. He spent a lot of time explaining the different options and made the perfect recommendation for size. His fees might be slightly higher but you really get what you pay for. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering breast implants.
