Successful reconstructive result, I am a breast cancer survivor

I am a breast cancer survivor, and the changes in my body after breast cancer treatment were difficult for me to accept. I'm grateful that I found Dr. Li to perform breast reconstruction surgery for me. Despite facing many challenges along the way, Dr. Li handled them with patience and care. Thank you to Dr. Li for his professionalism and exceptional skills, which resulted in a successful and satisfying outcome."

First surgery - I feel a lot better about my self image

Dr. Eric Li provided great service and I had a great experience with him and his staff. This was my first surgery of any kind and I felt like I was in good hands. He is very easy to communicate with, he allowed me to ask him all the questions I wanted, and addressed all of my concerns. He is very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. My recovery was also not as bad as I expected, and scarring is almost unnoticeable (I have very pale skin). I appreciate him very much for his work and I can gladly recommend him to anyone thinking of going with him. I feel like you get quality when you go with Dr. Li and his bed side manner is very professional. I did a lot of research before making my decision and considered various options, however I don't have any regrets with my decision. I feel a lot better about my self image, and motivated to live a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for all your attention and care Dr. Li

My outcome is gorgeous and exactly what I wanted

Dr. Eric Li recently did a breast augmentation on me. He made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I met him. My outcome is gorgeous and exactly what I wanted! Not only does he provide gorgeous outcomes of your procedures, but he takes the time to really listen to what you want to achieve and seems to care about you as a patient. He exceeded all of my expectations and I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend him. “Simply - HE'S THE BEST!”

Mole Removal

c_williams

Thank you Dr. Li!

As long as I can remember, I’ve had a black mole on my face right between my nose and mouth along the smile line. It started off small when I was small, but grew as I grew. As a child I smiled a lot thinking it wouldn’t be so visible. In high school, I actually wished it was cancerous so I would have a reason to remove it. As an adult, I spoke to my dermatologist (don’t know why, but didn’t consider plastic surgery at that time). He said the mole was benign, but if it was to be removed, there would be a horizontal triangular wedge-shaped scar. Black circle or white triangle? I decided to hold off. The year 2020 came and Covid-19 hit. When I realized that I ENJOYED wearing masks because it hid my mole from public view, I decided it was time to talk to a plastic surgeon. After looking at numerous yelp and google reviews, I decided to contact Dr. Li. My type of surgery is quite minor compared to others, but it didn’t make a difference. He listened patiently to my story, took a look, and drew lines on my skin to show me exactly where the incision would be made. He would line the scar up with my smile line so it would naturally hide in the shadow. He was professional, kind, and confident that we could get the results that I wanted. I scheduled the appointment before I lost my nerve. That was August. In September, I went to his new location in Cupertino to have the surgery. It took about an hour. Dr. Li told me exactly what he was doing and answered any questions that came up during the procedure. There were three follow up appointments. During that time, I had a couple of questions regarding bruising and stitches. I would text Angela and send her a picture. She would consult with Dr. Li and provide a quick response. Like Dr. Li, Angela is extremely professional, kind, and caring. The scar was pretty red at first which is completely normal. The redness diminished as the weeks went by, and the scar will continue to get thinner as the months go by. One year from the surgery, the scar will be done changing. I've been told a picture is worth a thousand words. The post surgery picture was taken two months after the surgery.

Dr. Li exceeded my expectations

My experience with Dr. Li was nothing short of amazing! I am so happy with the results and care I received from Dr. Li and his staff. He understood what I wanted from my breast augmentation and answered all my questions thoroughly and with kindness. What stood out to me most about his practice was the level of thoughtfulness and detail in his work and how he values it. It was very important to me to have a surgeon that understood my cosmetic goals as an Asian woman and had a high knowledge and consideration of Asian features. Dr. Li exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Dr. Li to anyone and will definitely go back to him for future cosmetic needs.

Botox

Going Back!

Absolutely great! I have been getting botox done in LA and Miami where surgeons are much more experienced in cosmetic stuff than the ones in the Bay area. In the past I had to get botox with a doctor several times before we could get it right. Most of them want to inject too much, and make you look "surprised" and frozen. Dr. Li got it right the first time. And got it right the second and third time. He is very knowledgeable, and understands what you tell him. I got a very natural look, with just a hint of movement, just to keep people guessing ;-) For even better service take a picture of your results and take it to him next time you see him. It helps him understand better what the outcome is, and helps him adjust accordingly. I am going back to him for sure!

I Had Positive Experiences with Dr. Li and His Team

When you are diagnosed with breast cancer, you have a lot of decisions to make. It can be very overwhelming. As we reflect on current times, and what we have been through during this pandemic, I am grateful to Dr. Li and his team for their great care in difficult times. Dr. Li is a very compassionate, professionally confident, and friendly doctor. He explains in detail what he feels he can do to help you. I highly recommend Dr. Li and his team, they are thorough and caring, making the entire process a very positive experience for the patient.

Breast Implant Revision

Modest4296

Breast Revision (Lift + Aug) and 360 Lipo

My case was a revision so it was already difficult coming in. I was carrying huge implants from a previous surgery that were too large for my frame. but not only did I get the results I wanted, Dr. Li actually exceeded my expectations. He is experienced, extremely knowledgeable at his craft, SO detail oriented even borderline OCD (you want this for someone who is cutting skin on your body), professional and has awesome bedside manners. A week after surgery on a saturday, I had an allergic reaction, by 10pm that night when it had gotten worse, he asked me come in to check on my incisions and dressings. He subsequently had me come in abt three more times that week to make sure the allergy was gone and I was healing properly. My results are phenomenal, so that’s already exciting and that alone is worth it to see him. AND THEN, on top of that, you get a doctor who is truly with you every step of the way (I asked more than a million questions before and post op to which he always patiently responded in a timely manner). As a plus, he is quite personable so not only do you get the super capable and talented surgeon, you also get a friend :) I came to him as a 32F which I absolutely hated, I am now a perfect 32D which was exactly what I asked for! Updated on 22 Jan 2020: breast revision that included a lift with switching out old implants for smaller ones (295cc on the right and 345cc on the left) - breast wise - I am 6 months PO here. Went back for 360 lipo: upper and lower abs, flanks and full back - I am 3.5 weeks PO here.

Best Experience (A to Full C)

I had my breast augmentation done last year with Dr. Eric YK, Li and i am about 6 weeks post op! Before i go any further, let me tell you about my experience from when i called his previous clinic in Los Gatos CA. Tammy answered the call and was very nice about answering my inquiries. She then recommended Dr. ERIC YK Li. and looking back, i am very grateful that she suggested that I consult with Dr. Li! Overall i am very pleased with everything! Prior to calling i did my research and i would be lying if I didn’t feel Nervous specially that i have seen and read different testimonies about how painful it was and some even suffer from capsular contracture, bruising on the incision areas and even bleeding. Scary right!? But all that was forgotten and my fears were Put at eased after my operation. I was at the least in pain, 2nd day post op i was already up and about doing things although i highly suggest to get all the rest you could. Dr Eric YK Li gave me the night prior to my operation day some combo meds to manage the pain and wow brilliant! Like i said i was feeling almost no pain and my incisions were looking clean! DR ERIC YK LI is brilliant he really match and gives you what is physically fit for your body type and physique. I am So happy he placed a bigger size on me as It just looks perfect! I 101% recommend him. His new clinic is now located at Mt. View Ca. If you need to have your breast implant done, look no more and give him a call! The staff are friendly and very warm! It makes you feel right at home! Price is very reasonable and if you want a high quality outcome then give his clinic a call The best experience i had and i can’t thank Dr Eric Yk Li enough! Updated on 6 Jan 2020: This is taken today. I’m only in my 6 weeks post op and i can barely see the scar from the incisions! This is how well Dr. Eric YK Li operates! He is a perfectionist and a genius! Updated on 8 Jan 2020: Updated on 15 Jan 2020: Tried some old padded bras. I realized my chest is really mot that big but considering i was flat i think it is still the best size for me. Updated on 21 Jan 2020: And some updates @8 weeks. I massage them When i can. I use bio oil for massaging and biocorneum for scar repair. So far so good! Updated on 25 Feb 2020: I am still adjusting to it but so far so good! I went to the gym a week ago and my boobs were so sore for few days. It is still a question for me whether it is safe to be weight liftings or doing upper body work outs for more than 30 lbs.
