Liposuction for a buffalo hump and double chin/neck fat - Dr. Lee performed liposuction for a buffalo hump and double chin/neck fat and I am very happy with the results. It looks exactly the way he described. He was careful and patient explaining the procedures and recovery times. Staff are kind and careful to check in before and after procedures. Highly recommend.

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

Now don’t have the extra fat under my chin after lipo, love my result! - I’m a returning patient and live my results! Several months after I had liposuction on my abdomen, I returned to get a little liposuction under my chin. I now don’t have the extra fat under my chin and I am ecstatic!! Thank you again Dr. Lee and Staff. They still walked me through the process and answered all my questions (that I had again since I had forgotten from my last procedure). Find yourself a doctor and office that you feel comfortable with. If you’re looking for a doctor to have some work done, I highly recommend Dr. Lee! You can thank me later! More

Liposuction to help me get rid of the bulge on my stomach - Ever since I was a teen I always had a stubborn lower belly fat that I could not get rid of no matter how hard I tried.15 years later I finally decided to do something about it. I wasn’t looking for a big change but something to help me get rid of the bulge on my stomach. I found Dr. Charles Lee and came in for a consultation. Next thing I know I booked my procedure for liposuction. The whole staff was so nice and they answered all my questions that I had. The procedure was fast and not bad at all! The great thing was that Dr. Lee was to do this while I was awake! 6 months later here is mu before and after picture and the results that I always wanted.Thank you Dr.Lee and staff!! More

Liposuction and skin tightening laser - I am 5'2, 135lbs- didn't have much fat in my stomach, to begin with, but it was always my troubled area. I had a daughter and when I bent over, you could see the little area of loose skin. I am scheduled for a BA with Dr. Charles Lee in SF- so I mentioned that I wanted this area to be changed too. He was sooooo gracious and totally understood what I wanted. He also was very kind in telling me that my abs were pretty tight ( I have been working on my core for so long) and that there wasn't much fat there. Altogether, we agreed that the skin could be tighter with an epidermal laser and lipo to take out some of the problem areas.I'm so sorry I don't have a picture of my stomach prior to this laser, life has been so chaotic I just didn't think of it. This is a picture of me- post OP day 1.  More

I have known Dr. Lee as a patient over 10 years.  I have done several procedures from tummy tuck to breast enhancement and Botox.  The results are outstanding and I am very happy. More

Goodbye Varicose Veins - San Francisco, CA - I was referred to Dr. Lee through a coworker who had the same surgery for varicose veins. I have lived with leg pain and swelling for years and thought it was just something that happened when you get older. I am kicking myself for not doing this sooner. The procedure was fast and easy, not to mention Dr. Lee and his staff made everything extremely easy and smooth. Everything was covered through insurance. More

Dr Lee is a genius! My husband had bad varicose veins causing him a lot of pain. He had two vein ablation surgeries in 2012 and hasn't complained since. He works construction and is always on his feet,so without this surgery he would not have been able to work as much as he does. I am currently going back for injections to my spider veins and love how fast and efficient Dr Lee and his staff are. 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 the distinct pleaure to have known Dr. Lee both professionally and personally for almost two years.I was greeted warmly and felt instant rapport at our first meeting during a reconstructive plastic surgery case he was performing.He is both an amazing reconstructive microsurgeon and aesthetics plastic surgeon.Because I have witnessed the reconstructive surgeries he has performed to make a person’s body whole again after a traumatic event or disease state, I was totally confident of his ability to perform aesthetic procedures on me.I have had Botox injections in my forehead and Juvaderm injections in the nasolabial folds to fill them out. His Botox injections are so precise that my forehead is smooth, but I can still move my eyebrows!The other procedure I have had is the Fraxel laser for the entire face, neck and chest. This laser helped to repair the sun damage and  remove the small fine wrinkles around my eyes and corners of my mouth. He is definitely my plastic surgeon of choice in the bay area. And now he has a surgical suite so many of the minor surgical procedures from liposuction to blepharaplasty can be done as an outpatient procedure. More
