Last year I decided that I was ready to actually do something about the double chin that had bothered me for the last several years. My initial plan was to do multiple rounds of Kybella in the winter, where I could get away with scarves and turtlenecks to hide the "bullfrog neck" that comes along with the procedure . I then decided to consult with Dr. Lee. He was very straightforward, and explained that while he offers Kybella in his office, I may want to consider liposuction, as it's a one time treatment that warrants the same (often better) results. The idea of "one and done" with better results? Done! Just over two months out from my procedure, I am so glad I did!
The entire process from start to finish was smooth. Dr Lee's staff, particularly his patient coordinator, Gabriel, is just as kind and professional as Dr. Lee. Gabriel answered my hundreds of questions, (multiple times), and guided me through the entire process from start to finish.
Dr. Lee is the consummate professional. He's honest, straightforward, patient, and (perhaps most important), a master of his craft. I cannot say enough positive things about him. I highly recommend him. Now I wonder why I didn't do this any earlier.
The actual procedure was much easier than I expected. In and out of the office (rocking a chin strap) within a couple of hours. I was worried about pain, and took one painkiller proactively that afternoon. Turns out it wasn't necessary. Bruising was surprisingly minimal, and gone within five days. The most challenging part of the recovery for me was wearing the chin strap for a week after, then at night for a total of two weeks.
Plastic surgery can be a really scary thing. Dr. Lee and his staff recognize this, and helped me every step of the way, from the consultation, to the procedure, to the follow up. I'm so happy to have left part of my neck behind!
