As a woman in a male-dominated field, Dr. Leong has an opportunity to start the conversation with her female patients about changes to that intimate area, whether it’s due to childbirth, trauma, or menopause.

She has traveled within the U.S. and abroad to expand her experience under the tutelage of giants in the field, and she is now excited to share with her patients those cutting-edge aesthetic techniques for the face, breast, body, and skin.

Beyond operating, Dr. Leong keeps her artistic eye fresh by staying involved with skincare, injectables, and lasers. These nonsurgical services enhance her surgical practice. She absolutely believes that the better quality skin you begin with and the more knowledge you are armed with for maintenance, the happier her patients are.
