After deciding to have surgery to treat diastasis recti that was causing me extreme discomfort after workouts, I started looking into local plastic surgeons. Dr. Lee was one of the first to appear in my Google search. I then decided to go ahead and inquire about a mastopexy with augmentation, as my breasts no longer looked like they once did after nursing my children. From my initial consult to surgery, Dr. Lee and his team have been nothing but kind and professional. I am recovering well, and I am so happy I chose him as my surgeon. Elective surgery can make your head spin, but having both the preoperative and postoperative support from JL Plastic Surgery has been amazing. I cannot believe my results even during the initial healing process. He is a gentle surgeon who exceeded my expectations. He is honest and risk averse, only doing things he feels is safe. As a mother, this was very important to me. I was not going into surgery wanted to look likeca different person, but to he restored to who I once was before children. I would trust him time and time again.
Just had my BA yesterday! I went in for a consultation 2 weeks ago or so & was able to schedule my BA for 11/16/23 which I was so happy about. I had a baby in June 2023, so being 4 months postpartum I could tell I was back to my pre pregnancy weight & it would be a good time to get this procedure done, which I have debated on for a long, long time! I am 5ft2, 110lbs, I forget my BWD but i think it was 11.2/11.5 or so? After consultation, my PS said the largest I could go was 385cc or so. I told him I wanted a full C, small D. But then ended up changing my mind to a C. (I think initially I was thinking a Victoria's Secret D, which is really a C typically lol). He suggested that 325cc or 345cc would be a good option for me. I tried on 295cc sizers as well. Ultimately i decided to go with the middle number just for peace of mind, 325cc round silicone high profile unders. My PS was very sure in expressing that high profile was the best option for my frame & i was definitely worried they would look so fake & crazy. But I went to this PS because his work speaks for itself so I trusted his recommendation with that & I'm so happy I did. I took a peak a few hours after getting home & they look amazing. I can't wait to see how they drop & fluff over the next few months! Recovery: i woke up after surgery with just about no pain & now 1 day post op i feel the same. When i am resting there is so pain. If i touch my ribs/sternum/armpits, they feel sore. The lower half of my breasts are numb which is normal. & my range of motions with my arms is limited. I have been taking mainly tylenol/celebrex/gabapentin scheduled. & tramadol here & there for extra pain management. Updated on 17 Nov 2023: Also, I cannot say enough about Dr. Lee & his staff. During my consultation, pre-op appointment & day of surgery I felt completely comfortable. Everyone is so friendly & knowledgeable. Dr. Lee, the nurses & anesthesiologist all make sure you are completely informed about your procedure. I’d go back & do it 100 times over because of how easy it was. Updated on 17 Nov 2023: & this is what I was working with before ???? Updated on 12 Dec 2023: Love my boobs! They are definitely softening a bit & settling in. I still wear the supportive sports bra 24/7.
Can I give more than 5 stars? I had a tummy tuck with flank lipo by Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee's surgical skills and eye for aesthetic artistry is unrivaled. After losing over 120 pounds I was determined to get my excess skin removed. I consulted with other surgeons before ultimately choosing Dr. Lee as this was not a procedure that I wanted to settle for mediocrity. I knew upon consultation that Dr. Lee was the right person for the job. He is so down to earth and friendly, and his demeanor proved to me that he was confident in his skills. Additionally, he is very upfront with explaining the procedures, what it will and won't do, so there is no regret or surprises. I am simply blown away with my results.
I had my breast augmentation with 365cc silicone implants on a Friday morning and am recovering nicely going into Monday. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone who’s looking to increase their breast size while maintaining a natural look and feel.. Dr. Lee truly worked wonders and I felt safe/confident under his care from start to finish! I’m waiting for them to settle but so far so good. 10/10 for Dr. Lee, Shauna his nurse, and Kendyl the coordinator. The procedure was less than 90 minutes and I woke up and was discharged from the outpatient center. The first two days were tight/swollen but manageable with pain meds and ice packs. By day 3 (today) I am feeling good. Super professional, efficient, courteous team at JL plastic surgery!
Where to start? When I began my journey in search of a doctor who could restore my body back to all of its “pre baby” glory after having 5 children in 8 short years, I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I wanted someone who is caring, professional, and puts their patients first. My first consultation was with Dr. Lee and it ended up being my first and last! Dr. Lee and his whole staff checked off every box, plus some! He is kind and warm, yet extremely professional and detail oriented. The whole process was a breeze and at no time did I feel overwhelmed or unsure of my decision. I’m a bit of a nervous person by nature and the day of surgery (and the days leading up) I was met with reassurance and compassion. The day of surgery was relaxing and I was treated with respect and felt so safe. I am still in disbelief that this process was so easy! My postoperative care has been top notch and I have never been left with unanswered questions. I have had 0 complications and I am absolutely in love with my results. Dr. Lee has changed my life and given me back the confidence I lost after my body changed while growing my family. I recommend JL Plastic Surgery to everyone I talk to and surely couldn’t have picked a better team. Thank you for all you’ve done for me! You have a patient for life.
I’m a 43 years old woman that was never happy with my breasts since I was a teenager. About 7 years ago I finally decided to get my surgery done by a previous doctor. To my misfortune, it didn’t come out anywhere near what I’ve dreamed of - when all I wanted was to have normal naturally looking and size breasts. I never wanted any implants either but was convinced by my surgeon then that implants were to be a must for me in order to make them look natural. I trusted the surgeon and accepted it as the ultimate truth. I was very unhappy and disappointed with the results, but I just accepted as my faith and didn’t do anything about it. Until … … Fast forward to NOW: Finding Dr. Lee and the great reviews on Google research gave me hope and I decided to give it a try and promising myself that this time around I’d be more careful and do deeper research before settling in. Where has he been all my life?! I don’t have strong enough words to express how happy I am with my results and entire overall EXPERIENCE! Tears of joy every time I look myself in the mirror – my level of confidence and freedom rose very high! I had my surgery back in September of 2020, I had the breast implants removed & mammoplasty, and I also had a blepharoplasty – both surgeries at the same time. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH BOTH RESULTS!The surgeries went so smooth and easy – it was like a walk in the park for me really. Never had any pain and never needed to take any of the pain medications he prescribed me. His medical team is absolutely AMAZING! I remember laughing at the surgical bed seconds before the anesthesia put me to sleep. I arrived there around 11 a.m. and was being picked up by my brother to go home at 5 p.m.He contacted me as soon as I arrived home to check on me – extremely caring and thoroughly!From the minute you meet every one of the staff to the minute you’re done with your overall experience, all you see is consistency in professionalism, attention to detail, patience, knowledge, and kindness! You will have all of your questions and concerns satisfactorily answered and you will be very well informed throughout the process before making your decision!It is all about the EXPERIENCE! Dr. Lee & his team BEYOND DELIVERED! I can’t thank him enough! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JL PLASTIC SURGERY!!!
I am very pleased with my experience with Dr. Jeffrey Lee. Wish I had done it sooner! I had a non-surgical rhinoplasty. I wanted to enhance my nose bridge height and volume without going under the knife. The fillers Dr. Lee used raised my nose bridge and from there he was able to shape it. We talked for about 30 minutes, the procedure itself took less than 15 minutes. Results were immediate and I did not experience any bruising or swelling. I left the office glowing, I was very pleased with the results. I highly recommend going in for a consult with Dr. Lee if it’s something you are thinking about.
Dr Lee is an amazing plastic surgeon. He’s very detail oriented and thorough from your beginning visit through all your follow ups. I’ve always dreamed of having more confidence when wearing certain clothing and now I don’t feel like a little girl haha!!! I love my boobs and love sharing my experience with others that felt like me prior to surgery. All my friends when seeing my results want something done with their body! I do not regret making my decision with dr Lee ; my breasts are completely natural looking and he makes the experience fun! He truly cares for your health as he would his own. If he feels that a certain procedure or implant is not fit for you he will not hesitate to explain why! Thank you dr Lee keep doing what your doing, your great! I know plastic seems foreign but dr Lee makes you feel so at ease with the process! Now I can pick out my wedding dress with confidence!!
I could not be any happier with my breast augmentation results. Dr. Lee went through the process step by step and answered all my questions and concerns. Meghan, the patient coordinator made me feel comfortable from day one, they are both very knowledgeable and easy to get in contact with. I would highly recommend.
I can't say enough great things about Dr. Lee! After copious amounts of searching / reading reviews for doctors in the Boston area and then consulting with many of them, I knew I was making the right choice with Dr. Lee. He was very kind and professional, explaining every part of the procedure and answering all the questions that I had patiently. He was really great about assuaging any sort of nerves or anxiety I had around the procedure up to the day of surgery. The surgery itself went incredibly smoothly, a total testament to Dr.Lee's skills as a surgeon. I had no complications post-surgery, and Dr. Lee was there to answer any questions that I had during the healing period; I never felt that I couldn't reach out if I had any off-hand questions at any point. I'm so incredibly happy with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone!
Hi and thank you for your question. Anesthesia is something that scares a lot of people so you are definitely not alone in having this fear. First thing to consider is what your breasts need. Some things you can do under local anesthesia but many options also require anesthesia. That being said, I use a sedation anesthesia for almost all of my cases including all my breast surgeries. Sedation is different than a general anesthesia because you are sleeping but you are still breathing on your own. If all power was lost and everybody in the room passed out, you would just wake up on your own. A full general anesthetic is different in that you have a breathing tube and a machine is actively keeping you alive. I would recommend considering a sedation anesthetic for your breast surgery and talk about it with a surgeon. Good luck!
You are correct in that there are a few studies saying that ibuprofen is safe to use before and after surgery. Some surgeons are okay with their patients taking ibuprofen and others are not because the mechanism of action inhibits platelets which stop bleeding. It definitely makes a difference during surgery if a patient has been on ibuprofen but ultimately it's up to the surgeon what he/she prefers. I personally recommend against taking these types of medications. In general, I would do what your surgeon recommends. Good luck!
Hi and thanks for your question! Upper pole fullness just means fullness in the top half of the breast. It is usually the first thing to go with age or after pregnancy/breastfeeding. Adding upper pole fullness is also a spectrum where mild to moderate amount can still be very natural. Once you get to a very high amount of upper pole fullness it can start to look more round and fake. What that looks like also depends on a lot of factors such as implant placement, size, shape, and how thin your skin is overlying the implant. Any implant will give more upper pole fullness but it's up to you and your plastic surgeon to decide how much and what it will look like. Good luck!
Yes it does appear that your lower eyelid has some laxity that may be causing your scleral show. This is the most likely diagnosis but it should really be confirmed by an in person consultation. There are various reasons why someone can have scleral show so you have to be sure you are correcting the actual cause. If it is laxity in your lower eyelid the procedure of choice would be a canthopexy vs canthoplasty. Good luck!
Hi and thanks for your question! In my opinion, silicone implants are vastly superior to saline implants. Silicone implants are softer, more natural feeling, more natural appearing, have less risk for rippling, and are equally safe as saline implants. Saline implants need to be overfilled which makes them feel much more like a hard water ballon than a breast. Good luck!
