    24 Years Old Eyelid Surgery! – Irvine, CA

    I recently had my eyelids done by Dr.Ho/Taghva! I was very nervous and scared about doing this since it is my first surgery that I had to be awake for. However because Dr. Ho was very friendly and easy to communicate with, I was very relaxed and had as pleasant of a time as a surgery could be. I’m so happy with my results. I have been wanting to have double eyelids for all of my teenage years and finally got the guts to do it. Although my eyes are still in the healing process, I can already see that the results are what I wanted. My friends and family all want to get theirs done with Dr. Ho after seeing my eyelids heal!

    Best Doctor Ever, Had a Great Experience (Eyelid Surgery). Irvine, CA

    I’m glad i chose Dr. Ho for my eyelid surgery. She was very kind, patient, and most of all, honest with everything from the beginning to the end. She communicated clearly with me on what to expect so that I was not taken by surprised by anything in the process. She’s also very straight forward and will not pester you to get additional procedures that you do not need, she really cares about her patients and gives recommendations that are suitable to each individual. Thank you Dr. Ho for my new eyelids!

    55 Year Old Korean Man with Bad Eyelid Ptosis, Underwent Ptosis Repair with Dr. Ho, Now I Can See Again! Irvine, CA

    I used to not be able to open my eyes fully and I had to strain really hard with my forehead to keep them open. My eyelid ptosis got so bad last year that I would fall asleep at the wheel after work. My wife urged me to see Dr. Ho at Wave for a consultation because she has a good reputation for eyelid surgeries. She was very thorough and knowledgeable during the consultation and explained in detail the surgical procedure, the potential risks, and what I should expect after the surgery. I had a prolonged course of swelling after the surgery because I had to undergo sinus surgery shortly thereafter. Dr. Ho followed up with me closely and she reassured me that everything was healing ok. Now 2 months after the surgery, my eyelids are no longer droopy and more importantly, I can see again and my eyes don’t look like they closed all the time! Just want to thank Dr. Ho for being so approachable, caring and meticulous. She really did a great job with my eyes. There’s no other surgeon I’d recommend more highly than Dr. Ho for eyelid or ptosis surgery.

    Dr. Ho.She has the magic hands

    I am 37 year old and all my life I had very uneven, thick fatty eyelids and it was getting worse and worse as I was getting older. I always wanted to get the blepharoplasty done but I was scared of side effects and it also costs $$$. Then when I realized I look much older for my age, I finally decided to go for consultation as family and friends were recommending Wave Plastic Surgery and met Emily (consultant) who was very honest and helpful. I was able to meet Dr. Ho and Dr. Lee on the same day I went for consultation for professional opinions and they both agreed that I need both ptosis correction and anti-aging blepharoplasty. And the cost of the surgery was not as expensive as I expected it to be so I decided to get it done with Dr. Ho.She has the magic hands that made miracles to my eyes. It has been 1 month and I had so any compliments! The surgery was not painful and all nurses were very friendly. My eyes did not swell up much and had no bruises so I went back to work the next day after removing the threads. Thanks to Dr. Ho and the amazing team at Wave Plastic Surgery, I look so much younger I regret that I did not get this earlier! Highly Recommended!

    I was very satisfied with the result

    I searched a lot of review (not only yelp) and then decided this WAVE. The consultant staff Emily was helpful, responded quick even she gave me her personal cell phone number to process my pre-test. Everytime I went there, all staff and nurse were nice and very helpful. Especially Dr. Goretti Ho was very patient, honest and professional. She understood what I want and really care about what result would be.
    I was very satisfied with the result and it was a great choice to come WAVE.
    One problem was…… Parking was only validated for the first hour.

    A Very Uneven, Thick-eyelids, Older Than Actual Age Looking 37 Year Old to Very Young Looking, Big Beautiful Eyes – Los Angeles

    Dr. Ho is so humble and honest, and at the same time very professional. During the surgery, she made me so comfortable and every follow-up appointments, she always asked how my eyes feel and if there is any discomforts or anything bugging me. She spent good amount of time and explained every steps of procedure every time I visited and she even gave me the shots by herself that relieves the swell. It has been 1 month since the surgery and I can open my eyes easier, my eyes look beautiful and I look so much younger. I highly recommend Dr. Ho for the Asian eyelid surgery!
