Dr. Lee is one of the most talented injectors around! His expertise really shows in his work and what tops off the experience is his fantastic personality. The office is gorgeous and staff is welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely a five-star experience!
Dr Lee, Injection Artistry at Surgical Artistry in Modesto, Ca., is hands down tops in his expertise. I have been getting fillers and Botox for 15 plus years. I recently moved to this area and wanted to fill in my lip lines, from years of smoking, and get botox for my forehead and 11 lines. Having had lip line injections over the years by many different Doctors I knew that it was going to be a 60 to 70 percent improvement at best. I WAS SO WRONG! Dr. Lee improved my lips by 95 percent, and even used less filler than I had purchased in then past. I was completely blown away with the results. At 60 years old how was this possible. Well let me tell you, Dr. Lee works with you on your budget and your desired results. He takes his time and appears to genuinely care about you as a person and strives to help you achieve your cosmetic goals. I recently moved 2 hours from Modesto, but continue to drive to Dr Lee's office for my filler and botox injections. After my last visit almost a year ago, HE AGAIN worked cosmetic MIRACLES! I can't stop looking at my lips as they look as if I never had lip lines or thining lips. There are many places everywhere that do fillers and Botox, offering various deals and prices. Dr. Lee's prices are about average, but I would pay top dollar to have the assurance of the results Dr. Lee produces. Unfortunately I don't have top dollar to pay so I am so grateful for Dr. Lee's willingness to listen to my concerns and provide the best results within what I can afford. Honestly, I have been many places, paid less and also paid more, but never had these FANTASTIC results. Did I mention, Dr. Lee is kind, gentle, and a perfectionist in my opinion. In today's world it is hard to find Doctors that care as much! I dont want to write a book, but feel I need to mention in the past I dreaded getting filler due to the pain. I am amazed at how Dr. Lee can do such a beautiful job with no pain.
I received the Ultherapy ultrasound treatment from Esthetician Nikki at Surgical Artistry. Nikki was thorough and educated. The treatment is supposed to lift and tighten my face and neck. According to the company, it takes 3 months to see real results, but I think I am already experiencing them. My main area of concern, my jowls, already seem to be lifted. I am looking forward to October(3 mo). The treatment was minimally painful. I would highly recommend it.
Dr. Lee is amazing! I had my lip injections 3 months apart. So I got the fullness I wanted without injecting too much all at once. 1 syringe of juvederm in lips 3 months apart. I am ready to do it again! Updated on 9 Jun 2019: I did it once then I did it again three months later. My friends ask me if I did them again. Totally worth it.
I had 2 vials of Kybella four days ago. I still have bull frog going on however it’s going down. Dr. Calvin Lee explained everything about it to me along with his staff. (They were so nice and they helped my nerves). I’m only on day four I had no bruising or pain whatsoever. I have numbness and that’s off and on. All of my friends keep saying to me omg we can already see a difference even with a little bull frog going on! Now all of my friends are going to make appointments. I have a daughter who is usually my worst critic lol and she even said what’s it called that you did and who did it? I’ll try and find some pictures to post. Thank you Dr. Calvin Lee! Oh by the way he’s done my lips before he’s a genius! If you are scared to have anything done go see him you’ll be glad you did! Updated on 14 Mar 2019: I’m just now four weeks..some of my friends say no don’t do another treatment to look natural . Some say yes to get more definition! Updated on 14 Mar 2019: My results these pictures were right afterwards and at 3 weeks. Updated on 4 May 2019: Updated on 17 May 2019:
Just had 2 vials of Kybella done today by Dr Calvin Lee. It was completely painless and now a few hours later there is tenderness and some swelling but not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Dr. Calvin Lee is the only injector I would ever trust. Going in my first time, I was so nervous but Dr. Lee is funny and he just reassured me that it’s no big deal and made my experience as pain free as possible. I would never go to any other injector after going to him, he makes everyone look very natural and enhances natural beauty.This review was created as part of a nomination to the RealSelf I Love My Injector Campaign.

What we're discussing is consider off-label FDA use of Botox. In my experience, I have treated only 3 patients for eye lid raising with Botox. The injections are extremely tricky. I would inject the lateral and/or medial aspects of the pretarsal obicularis (which is the eyelid muscle) - taking extreme care to avoid the middle part of that muscle which is connected to the levator (which lifts the eyelid). I would inject about 0.5 to 1 unit with each shot. I don't want to go into too much detail because this is a discussion you need to have with your injector. The basic theory is that if we weaken a depressor (which are the sides of the eyelid), we help the levator become more dominant.For mild imbalances in appearance, I would leave it alone. It's possible for us to make things worse with our decisions and injections. With my only 3 patient trial of this method - this doesn't make me the expert on this topic. It's a very rare request.Basically if your question was an academic style question, I would say that it could be done if I understood your question correctly. But in reality - check with your Botox injector!Thank you for your question. Without having seen you in person, I'm answering the best I can without physical examination info.

From the picture, it seems that there are some Botox effects in the middle of the frontalis muscle and perhaps in the glabellar complex. I can't tell for sure from the picture since it is only on activation of the frontalis muscle. If the forehead lines are your #1 priority then you might possibly need 20-40 units in that muscle itself. That is just one area. I have had patients who need close to 40 units for satisfactory results in the frontalis muscle. And then I have some patients where 6 units works perfectly. Thus some patients need what seems to be very high doses. The human body, being so magnificently diverse, makes it very hard to predict reactions to medications.Thank you for your question.

Botox usually works in a reversible fashion.Your problem, in my opinion, needs to be assessed in person by your Botox injector / doctor.The duration of Botox effects vary depending on the dose and location injected. But in general full Botox effects last about 3-4 then dwindles down so that your muscles act similarly to before getting Botox.Thank you for your question.

I'm not entirely sure about the swelling. It could be from the Botox, or it could be from another issue. Botox is known to cause eyelid drooping. The swelling could be a decrease in the lymphatic drainage which could also be caused by Botox. But an in-person examination by your Botox injector is one of the first steps.Thank you for your question.

It is convenient to pre-condition the skin with the OBAGI Nu-derm system. But there are other lines that can precondition the skin. I prefer that the patients precondition the skin with tretinoin and/or hydroquinone (preferably both) for at least 2 months before getting a Blue Peel from OBAGI. The reason it's convenient - both the Obagi Nu-derm system and the Obagi Blue Peel are made by Obagi. Calvin Lee, MDModesto, California
