AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping

2 Offers
I specialize in aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty, including revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty. Nose surgery is an extremely delicate, complex procedure, and it takes great skill and experience to consistently create an excellent result. By reshaping and refining your nose, I can make it more proportional to your face and bring balance and harmony to all of your facial features. Because I am board-certified in both plastic surgery and otolaryngology, I am an expert in improving both the function of the nose and its cosmetic appearance, ensuring that your rhinoplasty results look natural while preserving or improving your ability to breathe easily. During your consultation at my Boston, Massachusetts office, we’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and I will carefully examine your facial anatomy before recommending the best treatment plan to create your ideal nose.

Breast Reconstruction

2 Offers
Breast reconstructive surgery is one of my primary areas of expertise, as well as a personal passion. Thanks to my time as a fellow at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and my membership on the boards of Susan G. Komen and Bright Pink, I have a unique understanding of what my breast reconstruction patients are going through, and how I can help restore some of what they’ve lost. I offer three breast reconstruction techniques: DIEP flap, which uses tissue from the patient’s lower abdomen to restore the breast; latissimus dorsi flap, which uses a muscle from the back; and breast implant-based reconstruction. I evaluate each patient to determine her specific situation and which approach will provide the most natural-looking results, based on the original breast size, amount of body fat, and tissue available to rebuild the breast. I invite you to schedule a consultation at my Boston, Massachusetts practice to explore your breast reconstruction options.

Don't Think Twice About Dr Lin!

I am extremely happy with the results of my revision rhinoplasty. I only have one regret- and that is that I didn't use him the first time. Let me explain.... In January of 2023, I was in a ski accident where I broke my nose (very small break, but noticeable to me). I always had a deviated septum as well, I just never did anything about it. That being said, I decided to have my nose fixed from the break, as well as a septoplasty. I met with quite a few doctors, Dr Lin being one of them. I so regret not going with him in the first place! The only reason I didn't was that I was desperate to get it fixed, and to get it done when it was most convenient with my schedule. I went with someone else, but clearly didn't do as deep of a dive as I should have. Originally I thought my nose looked okay, but as the months went on, I was really starting to notice how it was not "fixed" the way I wanted it to be. I was so down about it. I decided after about a year to consider revision rhinoplasty. I went back to Dr Lin, with my tail between my legs, but he ever made me feel bad about it and was completely understanding! I decided to go with him, and never felt nervous about it. He completely listened to what I was trying to fix, and greatly improved my breathing as well! (which was never really fixed the first time, but I digress....). Now when I catch a view of my profile, I am soooo happy it is a "normal nose." He really listened to me, met and spoke with me multiple times, and calmed my nerves before surgery. If I consider any other surgery in the future, I no doubt would go back to him. Everyone in his office is wonderful, including his admin Brooke, all of the nurses and Emma the NP. If you are considering him for a surgery, you won't regret it!

Amazing Experience with Dr. Lin

Dr. Lin made the process easy and comfortable for me. The consultations were very informative and gave me a lot of confidence going into surgery. The recovery process was fairly easy, and I was able to return to most normal activities, including work, after one week (when I got my cast off). I love my cosmetic results, but I can also breathe so much better than before. I highly recommend Dr. Lin for any cosmetic or internal nasal surgery.

Best Doctor Ever

I had a closed rhinoplasty with Dr. Lin to smooth a bony bump on my nose, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He’s incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and his team made the entire process comfortable and stress-free. Before finding Dr. Lin, another surgeon told me the bump couldn’t simply be shaved down and that my entire nose would need to be broken and filler added to fix the bump. Then I went to Dr. Lin, who listened to exactly what I wanted, and skillfully smoothed the bump without unnecessary procedures. He never tried to upsell me and delivered truly perfect results. Recovery was unbelievably easy: I only took two Tylenols the first day and needed no other pain medication. Jaimie the nurse and the anesthesiologist made surgery day calm and comfortable, and Brooke was wonderfully clear and friendly throughout the process. I can’t recommend Dr. Lin and his team enough.

Dr. Lin and Team Are Top Notch!

Dr Lin, Jamie and staff were a breeze to work with. From initial appointment to post-op, my experience was extremely positive. Breast reduction surgery was something I wanted to do for many years and I am so grateful to already be feeling the benefits just 2 months post-op. My recovery was minimal after the first week and I immediately felt a difference in my back and shoulders.

Amazing Experience from Start to Finish!

My experience was great and very thorough. Dr. Lin and his staff took their time with me to explain my options and the breast augmentation process. We went over many options, and Dr. Lin's suggestion for a high profile implant was perfect for me. My end result looks wonderful, and the implants are the perfect size for my body type. Also, my nurses at BI Needham were awesome! They were very friendly and caring.
