Report review

Lisa reviewed Albert W. Chow, M.D.

Had an eye surgery botched, I wanted a crease way higher, but instead, over the course of a couple months, the height of the new crease dropped back down to where it was originally - money wasted. But now I can never get what I want - my scar from the cut is too low, and any revision to make my crease higher would show the scar. On top of that, Dr.Chow was incredibly rude to me during one of my appointments. I came in for only 1 facial procedure, but without prompting, he suggested two additional procedures for my face that were completely uncalled for, which included mentioning that my cheeks got fatter recently and he could just remove it (buccal fat removal). So rude and disrespectful. No doctor should go around insulting the looks of their customers just because they want to make more money off of them. For the record, I’m 100% confident and secure in my looks but this enraged me (fyi, yes, you can be secure and still want surgery), and I can easily see how someone less secure could feel completely torn down by his remarks. I didn’t say anything back - I just let him keep talking so that he could show his true colors. I can tell that this guy is willing to take advantage of people’s insecurities for their money. He’s been doing this for a long time and should have learned very early on in his career to not be this rude to customers, so clearly it was a choice to suggest things that were uncalled for and offensive… he should give himself a tummy tuck first before saying anything like that to customers. I won’t be coming back, there’s better personalities to work with, and people with actual ethical standards. As for the blepharoplasty procedure itself, you definitely shouldn’t go to him - his technique is not up-to-date. In fact, it’s way out of date. Even Dr. Chow himself has said to that customer that the incision is a “guess” after I grilled him. I kid you not, it’s as bad as it sounds. You’re completely knocked out during the procedure, so he can’t gauge things well, which is not the best technique. So do your research before booking your operation, he is literally taking advantage of people and continuing to do this type of surgery even when he shouldn’t be. There are better techniques. Korea is obviously known for this surgery, but there are some doctors in the US that use their techniques too, so have multiple consults and ask about their technique. It will become as obvious to you as it is to me that this guy is shamming people and hurting them just to stay afloat money-wise.
