Botox & Dermal Fillers

Dr. William Lao administers Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport injectables across the forehead, glabella, crow's feet, masseter (jaw slimming), trapezius, and neck bands. Dermal fillers — hyaluronic acid, collagen-based, and autologous fat — restore volume to cheeks, chin, lips, nasolabial folds, and hands. Sessions require no downtime and deliver results lasting three to twenty-four months depending on product and placement.

At Dr. William Lao's Midtown Manhattan practice on Fifth Avenue, injectable treatments are performed with the precision expected of a double-board-certified plastic surgeon. Botox and its equivalents Xeomin and Dysport are injected in small, targeted doses to relax overactive muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Treatment areas include the forehead, the '11 lines' between the brows, crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, and neck bands. Beyond standard anti-wrinkle use, Dr. Lao offers masseter Botox for jawline slimming — a technique particularly sought after by patients interested in achieving a softer facial contour — as well as trapezius Botox for shoulder relaxation and hyperhidrosis treatment in the underarms and palms. Results typically last three to six months. Post-treatment care is minimal: avoid rubbing the area for 24 hours, remain upright for four hours after the session, and skip strenuous exercise for one day. Dermal fillers complement neuromodulators by restoring lost volume and reshaping facial contours without surgery. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most commonly used, offering natural-looking augmentation to the cheeks, chin, lips, and nasolabial folds, with results lasting six to twenty-four months depending on product and placement. Autologous fat grafting is also available for patients seeking longer-lasting volume restoration using the body's own tissue. Consultations are conducted in a private Fifth Avenue setting and are tailored to each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals. Dr. Lao's background in surgical facial aesthetics informs his injectable approach, ensuring proportionality and natural outcomes suited to diverse facial structures — including Asian faces, where he holds a recognised sub-specialty. His standing as a Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon and NY Top Doc positions this Midtown Manhattan practice among the most credentialed providers of injectable aesthetics in New York City.
