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

Dr. Lee is amazing! He is an extremely knowledgeable, personable, and truly caring surgeon. At my first consultation, I felt comfortable right away. The office is clean and cozy, it was a very “boutique experience” overall. The pre-op appointment was a great experience as well, and it was noticeable that Dr. Lee remembered things about me even from my consultation (where I live, what I do, etc.). It truly made me feel valued as a patient. I felt fully prepared and confident ahead of my surgery date knowing that all of my questions had been answered and that they were always responsive and compassionate. I cannot stress enough how he actually listens to your concerns and delivers on your physical requests all while providing you with honesty which is highly important. Furthermore, his accessibility pre/post-surgery is at the highest golden standard possible. Now that my breast augmentation surgery is complete, they feel and look super natural, and looks AMAZINGG. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t think twice about recommending anyone besides Dr. Lee and his team. More

For 10 years I thought and considered doing a breast implant. The desire for the procedure intensified a year and half ago and I started searching for the best cosmetic surgeon. I did several consultations with quite a number of them but when I consulted with Dr Lee, I knew without a doubt that he was the surgeon I have been looking for, for a year and half. Apart from great reviews and qualifications of Dr Lee, I felt his passion and excitement for what he does. You could see that he loves his job and genuinely cares about his clients. He took time to explain in great detail, the procedure. Dr Lee and his beautiful, kind staff spent at least two hours with me. I knew that consultation day that my search for the best cosmetic surgeon for my breast implant was over. The day of the surgery October 2019, I was relaxed and ready because I knew I was in good hands. The procedure went smoothly. Dr Lee strictly instructed the nurses how to take care of me to the point of how to position me, that was going above and beyond. I had a follow up with him twice a week. In all the follow ups, he assessed the surgical site and changed the dressing himself. The outcome of my surgery was simply beautiful..perfect. I am grateful to Dr Charles Lee and his staff. He gave me my confidence and happiness back. More

When you want work done to your body or face, you want to make sure you go to the right doctor. It took me years to finally choose one and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Lee. He is an amazing surgeon and I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants any procedures done. It’s been 5 weeks since I got breast augmentation and they’re healing very well. The scars are very light and will get even lighter after time. He will give you his honest opinion about your suggestions and will make you look very natural. Most doctors just want your money and do whatever you want, but Dr. Lee cares about his reputation and that’s why he gets so many referrals. I have a ton of friends who are going to him after seeing my breasts. I absolutely love them :) More

Amazing, Comfortable, and Natural; I Feel Fantastic! - I've been thinking about doing this for many years. Since I have never gotten surgery before, I was very nervous about the whole process. A friend of mine has been considering breast augmentation as well and asked me to accompany her to her consult with Dr. Lee. From her consult, I could tell Dr. Lee was skillful and experienced with breast augmentations. After seeing my friend’s result from her surgery with Dr. Lee, I knew I had to book with Dr. Lee myself. I am in my early 30s’, 32A with a petite frame, and never had kids. I wanted a fuller bust but still to look natural. I am only 1 month out from surgery but I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lee and his staff. I felt at ease and cared for from the very beginning. Surgery and recovery were comfortable and a breeze. I was able to go back to work about 2 weeks after surgery. I am excited to wear a swimsuit and take advantage of the rest of this summer! I am going to recommend him to all my friends. 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

I had a pleasant, professional, and informative consultation with Dr. Lee. I met with several other plastic surgeons and Dr. Lee was the only office I didn't feel rushed, especially considering "no charge" initial consultation policy. I left with a definitive idea of the results I could expect from the breast augmentation. The results from the surgery were those determined at the consultation. The scheduled follow ups gave me assurance of my progress and healing. I am really thrilled with the augmentation and have received only positive feedback. More

I had breast enlargement with Dr Lee this year. Him and his team are extremely caring and attended to all my needs.  Dr Lee took the time to answer all my questions and explained to me everything i need to know. He made me feel comfortable and I was very confident in the surgery to  come. The results were amazing! They turned out exactly how I imagined/wanted them to be. The post-surgery follow ups has been excellent. I definitely recommend Dr Lee and his team for anyone looking to have breast surgery. More

Great Experience with Breast Augmentation - San Francisco, CA - I'm 58 years old and have been contemplating having beast augmentation. But I was very hesitant because of me age and was very afraid of the pain. I went to a consultation with Dr. Lee and I felt very comfortable with him. I wanted a very natural look and he showed me pictures and I really liked his work and decided to go with Dr. Lee. My procedure and recovery went really well. I am extremely happy with my new breasts. Dr. Lee did a great job! More

I have been very fortunate to pick an amazing doctor my cosmetic surgeries, Dr Charles K Lee, did my breast augmentation 3 month ago and I couldn’t be happier. Today Thursday November 10th I am back for a little Botox on the forehead, honestly I couldn’t be happier with the result and nothing I write can prove how talented Dr Lee is. Yet most of all I love his honesty, kindness and passion for his work. Truly an artist who deserve more recognition. Thank You Dr Charles K LeeSincerely Ms Berhe. More
