Reviews for Face Procedures Near San Francisco, CA

Dr. Lee Helped Me Achieve What I Wanted! - Dr. Lee is the best surgeon I could ever ask for. I came in to get my nose done after not liking the implant that was inserted by another surgeon. The results were what I was looking for and my only regret was that I didn’t come to him first. More

I found Dr. Lee as I was researching for a surgeon to do a revised double eye lid (blepharoplasty). My search was broad I was open to someone in the Northern California region. Immediately Dr. Lee was my top pick due to photos I saw from his previous patient, those were the results I was looking for natural. I got an appointment for a consultation immediately that week. Initially I was only interested in a blepharoplasty however after reviewing Dr. Lee’s website seeing his rhinoplasty results I was interested. At my first visit to his office the staff was very welcoming and assertive. During my consultation I went through my list of importances and results like to achieve. Dr. Lee took his time to answer all my questions and explained throughly the process and what type of expectations he could deliver. For myself it was important that we are on the same page and I felt completely comfortable during my consultation (Good vibes). Something that’s front a centered like the face there’s no room to hide errors. The vibes were right I decided on having a blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty and chin liposuction. His office had followed up with me before my surgery date with instructions everything was very straight forward. My procedures was done under local anesthesia I was awake however very relaxed and comfortable. I felt like I was at a spa vs getting plastic surgery that’s how comfortable and calm I was during my entire procedure. After my surgery his office checked on me daily I sent progress photos as well. Currently I’m less than 1 year post opt and I love my results. I look like a rested and refreshed version of myself. The harmony of my face is still in balance and the scaring barely there to non- existent these results only will get better with time. More

Abdominal Liposuction with Fat Transfer to Breast - I had surgery with Dr. Lee in June of 2024 to address two concerns. First, I had a prior breast augmentation with a different provider and felt the implants settled a bit too far apart and wanted more fullness toward the center as it was difficult to create cleavage without wearing a sports bra. Second, I wanted to remove some fat on my stomach and around my waist.To address these concerns he performed liposuction across my stomach, above the belly button, and onto the waist area to achieve a good shape before then transferring that extracted fat predominately on the inside of each breast to create more fullness there and allow better cleavage. Dr. Lee was very helpful and kind in listening to my concerns and helping me come up with an effective surgical plan to achieve the desired outcome. The nursing staff including both Maggie and Jessica who I worked with were incredibly kind and kept up very good communication addressing all my concerns, navigating the insurance coverage, and making sure I was able to be stress free from start to finish. Now at about six weeks out I'm very happy with this stage of the recovery, looking forward to seeing the final appearance!Updated on 25 Jul 2024:The combined image in the post was compressed really small and as a result you couldn't make out any of the details. There are no major updates to my health or my results since yesterday but the site requires me to type 200 characters so here are a bunch of extra words that don't really mean anything. I'm still just as happy as I was yesterday lol.Anyway, so here are the pictures individually, hopefully it doesn't make them tiny and blurry! More

My niece, Aye Mar (who lives overseas) had breast cancer surgery and reconstruction, both with Dr. Lee. Below is what Aye Mar said to write for Dr. Lee's review on her behalf. "Dr. Lee is the best plastic surgeon in the whole world. That is how I feel and there is no exaggerating. I am so happy with Dr Lee's work, kindness, friendliness, knowledge, care and professionalism. Dr. Lee gave my life and confident back. If you are looking for the plastic surgeon either relating breast or the deep plane facelift (which my friend had with Dr. Lee) , he is the one. Don't waste your time looking around. Christy, medical assistant for Dr. Lee is so great, so knowledgeable, so helpful, so kind and responses are so fast. All front desk staffs, Marisa and Jane are so helpful, friendly and professional. I cannot thanks enough to Dr. Lee and his office staffs. Best Regards. More

I love Dr. Lee! Natural looking facelift & scarring is very minimal - Dr. Lee has been a fantastic plastic surgeon. He has been patient and thorough through out the whole time I have been a patient with him.

The results are so natural looking and I'm very happy with how things turned out. The scarring is very minimal and barley noticeable. I cannot recommend him enough! More

Feeling More Refreshed and Youthful After Facelift - I have been considering a face lift surgery for a couple of years now as a retirement gift to myself. Working long hours and not having enough time for myself for the past few decades have aged my face to a point where I felt and looked older than my actual age. I was recommended to Dr. Lee by a good family friend who just had the upper blepharoplasty by him and the results were naturally amazing. I went in for a consultation to discuss the process of getting a facelift and after seeing before and after pictures I was all in! Dr. Lee was very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. The ladies that work with him are also very friendly and guided me the whole way. I had the MACS Facelift with Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty in November 2019 and the results are remarkable. I honestly can say that because Dr. Lee and his staff were so attentive and informative, it made the recovery process so much easier. Every question I had was answered in a timely manner regardless of how trivial I thought my question was. Dr. Lee is highly skilled and I recommend for everyone to see him! Now I’m just waiting for COVID to be over so I can travel and enjoy retirement and my new found youth. More

“Dr. Charles Lee accompanied my Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist in providing surgery on my deviated septum. Specifically, he conducted the Rhinoplasty portion, which I understand to be a significantly complex procedure. Upon meeting Dr. Lee, I immediately felt comfortable in his presence, and believed him to be a reputable and quality surgeon. Throughout the process, we had healthy communication, and I even enjoyed joking around with him from time to time (also helping to calm my nerves associated with the procedure). During the recovery process, he demonstrated continued professionalism and a level of compassion that I appreciated when I needed to speak candidly about it. Before receiving the surgery, I had difficulty breathing and suffered from years of sinus infections. –And now, nearly two months afterwards, I can breathe through my nose, and it looks straighter too. He and his staff continue to communicate openly and are responsive to my questions. I’m even interviewing him for my own documentary! More

Natural and Refined Nose - I am a current patient of Dr. Charles Lee who just had the Rhinoplasty procedure. I am filipino and have always wanted to reshape my nose and make it more narrow and give it more height as it is naturally FLAT. I was so glad to hear that Dr. Lee has a lot of experience with Rhinoplasty and asian noses in particular. I wanted a natural but more refined look, and Dr. Lee was able to do just that. I am so happy about the results of the procedure. The whole process went very smoothly. His staff were very polite and professional. Instructions and expectations were clearly explained to me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking into getting rhinoplasty. More

I had the Asian Eyelid Surgery with Dr. Charles Lee about a year. I must say that I am very happy and satisfied with the outcome and have had a positive overall experience with Dr. Lee and his staff. I was referred by my friend who recently had buccal fat removal by Dr. Lee. At my consultation appointment, I was greeted by his friendly staff and was shortly seen by Dr. Lee. He listened carefully to my concerns/ what bothered me about my eyelids and I described to him what my desired look will be after surgery. After some measurements, he was confident that he can give me a natural-looking crease without altering the overall appearance or changing the shape of my eyes. Diana came in to the consultation room to go over pricing with me and explained the surgery and recovery process. To date, there is minimal swelling but I can definitely see the great results from surgery and loving how my eyelids look. Dr. Lee is a very capable surgeon and his approachable demeanor makes it very comfortable and easy for patients to talk to him. Every time someone compliments my eyelids, I always recommend Dr. Lee without any hesitation! More

I did the Fat Graft to face procedure with Dr. Charles Lee 6 weeks ago. I was so excited to get this procedure because I hated the hollowness under my eyes that always made me look exhausted. There is barely any downtime and I can see the results right away. I also liked that fat grafting is longer lasting and more natural than dermal fillers. I sent an inquiry through Realself and was able to communicate with Dr. Lee’s office via email, which is very convenient for me due to my schedule. Dr. Lee and his staff gave me all the info that I needed for the procedure. I didn’t really need to do anything prior to the surgery date and the post care was explained to me very well. I went back to their office for 2 follow up appointments since the surgery and they told me that everything is healing as planned. I want to thank the staff for always being so patient and being able to answer all my questions right away. They are all so kind and knowledgeable. I also just booked my Rhinoplasty with Dr. Lee towards the end of the year and I am excited for that as well. More

Buccal fat removal - Just got done with the buccal fat removal procedure. The procedure was less lingual than I expected it to be. My face is pretty swollen currently. Hopefully I’ll go down. Doctor recommended me to be on a soup And soft food diet for at least a week. More

I thought a long time about buccal fat removal procedure to reduce my chubby cheeks. I didn’t know this kind of procedure even existed. A friend of mine introduced me to L plastic surgery in San Francisco, telling me about this amazing procedure. After I got this procedure, my face went from being chubby to slim. I was really nervous with the procedure but I am extremely happy to have this procedure done. The staff is always very professional and caring and Dr. Lee is an amazing surgeon and made me feel safe. I recommend him to anyone, I trust him! More

Asian Eyelid Surgery Was a Breeze - Since I was very young girl, I've always wanted to find a solution for my monolids. I am your typical girly girl and creating different looks with make-up has become a passion of mine. I found it hard to show my creativity with eyeshadow since I had monolids. After much research and numerous consultations up and down the coast, Dr. Charles Lee's office by far had the most pleasant and most knowledgeable staff. Dr. Lee was very warm and welcoming. Dr. Lee took his time to explain everything in detail and gave me important insight on the procedure as well as what my options are with how I want my creases to look like. He showed me before and after photos of his previous patients with similar cases and different results (height and crease shape) depending on the outcome of how the patient wanted to look after surgery. I loved how all the results from his previous patients had looked so natural. Fast track to today, I am 1 year post surgery and I am more in love with my eyelids. So many of my friends/family have noticed a difference in me but couldn't pinpoint what changed, but I proudly say that I had Asian Eyelid Surgery with Dr. Charles Lee. Since then, a couple of my friends have also come to see him for their cosmetic procedures (Asian Eyelid Surgery, Rhinoplasty, Breast Augmentation as well as injectables). I am forever grateful for Dr. Lee's expertise, professionalism and even for just being such a genuine person, but most importantly for this life changing experience that I've been waiting to do for the longest time. Thank you, Dr. Lee and your awesome staff for making this journey a breeze. More

Wonderful Experience and Even Better Outcome! - I’ve always had chipmunk cheeks my whole life and recently found out there’s a procedure to take the fat out from your cheeks - Buccal Fat removal. After doing extensive research (with the help of Realself), I made a few consultation appointments with a plastic surgeon. Ultimately, I chose the wonderful Dr. Lee to move forward with the procedure. The procedure itself was not as bad as I thought. I was so nervous the morning of my surgery but his staff and OR technician was soooo nice! Dr. Lee explained everything he was going to do and gave me the injection to numb me. After that, I felt nothing! The procedure was over before I knew it. Dr. Lee took out the fat and placed dissolvable sutures on each side of my cheeks and I was done. It’s been 3 months since my procedure and I am soooo happy with my results. Many thanks to Dr. Lee and his rockstar staff!!! You guys rock! More

It has been almost one year since my mini facelift with Dr. Lee and I am super pleased with the results. I was very nervous about this procedure but Dr. Lee and staff have always been professional and attentive to my needs. During the initial consultation with Dr. Lee, he was very direct and straightforward with his recommendations. He showed me before and after of his work and explained how he would approach the procedure. Every part of the procedure was explained so I can anticipate what to expect before, during, and after. Three to four week after my surgery, I was already able to see good results. By that point, most of the swelling and bruising had already subsided. I was able to wear makeup and return to work. I saw Dr. Lee 5-6 times after the surgery for follow ups. Dr. Lee is professional, skilled, and attentive. The staff is also very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all my questions. I love how natural the results look! I have gotten many compliment from my friends and family. The battle with age doesn't end here! I am now getting regular Botox treatment with Dr. Lee. You know what they say, prevent is the best treatment. I am so happy that Dr. Lee is my plastic surgeon. I have never thought I would look forward to visit to a doctors office until I found Dr. Lee. More

I have always felt insecure about my wide face and chubby cheeks. I have tried Botox to my jaw in the past but it did not give me the v-shaped face that I wanted. I happened to come across the Buccal fat removal procedure on the “The Doctors” show and began doing a lot of research on this surgery. After reading about other’s experience on RealSelf and Yelp, I picked Dr. Lee as my plastic surgeon. Dr. Lee was friendly, enthusiastic, and skillful in addressing my concerns. His staff took the extra effort to provide encouragement and support through the entire process. The surgery went quickly and smoothly. I had very minimal pain after and the healing process was not as bad as I anticipated. The front office was very accommodating scheduling my appointments with my schedule. Overall, Dr. Lee and staff have been very professional, friendly, and skillful. More

After meeting up with a dear old friend of mine who recently had a face lift with Dr. Charles Lee, I thought to myself, "Wow, she looks 20 years younger!" I wanted to gift that to myself, so I immediately called Dr. Lee’s office and was greeted by Diana with a friendly voice. She gave me plenty of information about the procedure and Dr. Lee’s many years of expertise in face lifts and penciled me in for the soonest available appointment.  I’m so happy to have found a doctor who is able to actually listen and address all of my concerns instead of pushing me towards products and treatments that I don’t actually need.  He went over his recommendations, explained the details of a MACS face lift and answered all my questions honestly. He then proceeded to show me a collection of before and after photos of his work and I was so amazed how natural the results look. After discussing what to expect after surgery and costs, I eagerly booked my procedure. Here I am one year after surgery and there are no visible scars. I am more than pleased with the final results. My bright and refreshed look that once was taken by time, gravity and sun exposure has come back all thanks to Dr. Lee. More

I came here because I recently discovered that you can get fillers in your nose so that it'll appear higher. I always hated wearing sunglasses and it'll sit on top of my cheeks cause I didn't have a nose bridge to hold it up. With barely half a syringe of fillers Dr Lee carefully injected the perfect amount to my nose so that it still looked natural but definitely saw a difference. Dr Lee was very professional and gave me his honest opinions that I value and appreciated. This front desk staff was also super friendly and helpful with any questions I had. Pictures doesn't do it justice More

I have had many procedures done by Dr. Lee and wouldn't trust any other doctor after seeing and experiencing his work. Not only is he honest and trustworthy, but also VERY skilled. I had a facelift done 3 months before my daughters wedding and everyone said I look so young, but couldn't tell I had work done. I could not be happier with my experience with L Plastic Surgery.

Breast cancer survivor - I am a breast cancer survivor who had reconstructive surgery with Dr. Lee a few years ago. I had to come back into his office for a few follow up visits, so I really got to know Dr. Lee and his staff. He is always welcoming and made me feel safe and assured. His reconstructive work was impressive to say the least. I was so happy with his work that I came back this year to have a mini facelift,... More

His reconstructive work was impressive to say the least. I was so happy with his work that I came back this year to have a mini facelift, which we he had suggested for me to do. I noticed my face was sagging, but I never would have considered having surgery to fix it.... It's just what happens when you get old, right? Wrong! Not only do I look 10 years younger, my friends and family didn't even notice I had work done.  I am so happy I met Dr. Lee and am thankful for everything he has done for me. More

50+ Looking Better Than Me in my 30's. San Francisco, CA - I was originally introduced to Dr Lee after my husband had his varicose veins treated. He was so personable and took such good care of my husband, that I felt comfortable talking to him about my "areas of concern". I am over 50 years old and was feeling "saggy" so I ended having a tummy tuck, liposuction and a mini facelift. Not only did Dr Lee make me feel comfortable and explained everything in detail so I understood what to expect, my results turned out amazing! Its been almost a year since my last procedure and I'm feeling better than when I was in my 30's. More

I have asian eyes that have bothered me my whole life. I was made fun of when I was younger, but I never thought plastic surgery was an option. Now that Im older (40+), people started telling me I look tired all the time. I started researching online and even went to a few consultations with plastic surgeons in SF. I heard about Dr Lee from a friend of mine that had a nose job, so I made an appointment. After meeting Dr Lee I was sold. He seemed confident and experienced and was able to answer the many many questions I had. I just had my surgery In December and I couldnt be happier with the results. My friends cant even tell I had anything done! The only bad thing I can say is that I had to take a few weeks off work for the healing process, but I guess there are worse things to complain about. I would recommend Dr Lee to anyone with realistic expectations looking to improve their eyelids. More
