Testimonial: “There aren’t enough good things I can say about Dr. Leong. Dr. Leong called several times during the week after my surgery to make sure I was okay and not having any issues. I had zero complications during the healing process and could not be happier with the results! My only regret is not scheduling my surgery sooner. I would highly recommend Dr. Leong to anyone considering facial surgery. He is truly an expert in his field and really cares about his patients. He is kind, caring, and compassionate and this really shows through his work. His office staff is always exceptionally friendly as well. If I ever want any facial work done in the future, I will be going to Dr. Leong, regardless of where I live. If you are looking for a doctor you can trust, schedule an appointment with Dr. Leong. You won’t be disappointed!”

What is earlobe repair?
Dr. Leong performs both earlobe repair and earlobe reduction for his Morgantown WV patients. With earlobe repair, he is able to combat damage due to the area by plugs, gauges or earrings that have stretched out the hole and left a gap.
