Worth ItTummy Tuck

Such Wonderful Results!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Richard Lee and his entire team. He performed my tummy tuck and brachioplasty, and the results have exceeded my expectations. His work is truly superior — the contouring is beautiful and the scarring is minimal, which speaks to his incredible skill and attention to detail. From the very first consultation through post-op care, Dr. Lee and his office staff were kind, compassionate, and attentive. They made me feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for every step of the way. I absolutely love the results of my surgery and am so grateful I chose Dr. Lee. I highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery — you will be in excellent hands.

Cannot Say Enough About Dr. Richard H. Lee!

I had been wanting to get a breast augmentation for a few years and was set on getting it this year. I had gone to a few consultations before meeting Dr.Lee, and for some reason these consultations either felt too pushy or too rushed and felt like I wasn't being heard of what I actually wanted. Fast forward to going into Dr. Richard H. Lee's office and I immediately felt at ease from meeting his wonderful staff to the doctor himself. I felt like Dr. Lee actually took the time to explain everything to me from the pre-op, to surgery and even after for my post ops. He's absolutely amazing and just has given me the confidence to feel absolutely beautiful in my own skin. I'm so happy with my results and am so extremely grateful for Dr. Lee and his staff!

Dr. Lee is a true gem! He is caring, thorough, and takes the time to explain everything and patiently answer all questions. I needed some extra attention and he made sure everything was right.

He gave me my perfect set of normal looking boobs

I love Dr. Lee! He is such a calming presence and put me even more at ease when he answered all of my questions. He prepared me well mentally and physically before surgery so I knew exactly what to expect. I am so thankful for him and his expertise. He gave me my perfect set of normal looking boobs and I couldn’t be more excited to look like I’ve always felt I did—beautiful and feminine. His team is always welcoming and couldn’t have been for helpful. I recommend choosing him if you are wanting to get a breast reduction/lift!

UTM, Gala flex internal bra, Ultra high profile, Mentor, silicone, 535cc

Wanted bigger boobs ever since middle school. Was self conscious about it growing up, until adulthood and eventually didn't mind having small boobs. Fast forward to my mid 30s had two babies back to back. Breastfed for 13mo and 8mo. I missed those milk boobs. Haha. Shed the baby weight and these poor little AA's were as small as ever. Decided I deserve to fix these guys and look amazing for my 40th next year! I'm 5'6", 135lbs, athletic, big butt/hips. I figured I could carry decent sized boobs and look proportional. Dr. Lee was my second consult and I booked my surgery within an hour of meeting him. His calm demeanor and explanation of the whole procedure put me at ease. Updated on 30 May 2023: Surgery went off without a hitch at 8am. Knocked me out as soon as I laid on operating room table. Woke up fine, with meds pain was totally manageable. By day 2 I mostly switched to tylenol. Except for nighttime sleep I needed one of my percocets. Sleep is horrendous, as you have to sleep mostly upright. So thankful for my Mom and husband, you NEED someone to help you at least the first 2-3days. Updated on 30 May 2023: Pretty much feel like my old self. Off everything, finished antibiotics. Had first post op appt, incisions look great! Taking short walks, sooo impatient. They are still super high and frankenbooby. Ready for them to drop and can’t wait to workout again. Updated on 2 Jun 2023: Changing everyday. Tightness all gone. No pain, some tingling every now and then. Nipple revision coming along nicely as well. Starting to slowly resemble breasts. Lol Still a long way to go to drop. Getting excited!

He made it look proportionate and perfect towards my body

Dr. Lee Richard was my doctor for breast enhancement. He did a very thorough and precise job! He was very professional when going through the consultation and the check ups and made me feel comfortable. He has a very unique art sense towards making it look proportionate and perfect towards your body. I love that about him because it also makes me feel like I can trust somebody that has a good sense of how the proportions look. So glad I went here and would recommend it to anyone!

Throw some Ds on that chick - recovery was easier than anticipated

400cc’s, silicon, extremely high profile, under the muscle. 4’11” and 100lbs. Before surgery I had a small B cup and was looking to go up to a solid D cup. Dr. Lee was nothing less than amazing. I told him what size I was aiming for, showed him some pics of the shape I was interested in and he gave me exactly what I wanted. He never once pressured me to go bigger. His staff is kind and always welcoming. Day of surgery him and his team made me feel calm and even excited to go under. I didn’t have any nausea from the anesthesia. Recovery was a lot easier than I had anticipated. I only felt intense pain the first 3 days or so but nothing the pain meds couldn’t handle. I stopped taking the pain meds on day 3 post op and never took them again. It’s now been almost 10 weeks and I am LOVING my results. They get softer and softer everyday. My left boob is dropping a little slower than my right but I guess it’s common that your dominant side will drop faster. The ONLY con in my personal situation is that I’m a pole dancer and can’t even think about touching my pole for another two weeks. Overall, 10/10 would recommend. Tried to upload my before and after pics but it says files are too big and I’m lazy.

Dr Lee and his entire staff have been nothing but great! I’m loving my results so for and I’m just about to be two months post op. I got 535cc’s UHP under the muscle. Scars are visible but will hopefully fade away as more time passes (: Updated on 4 Aug 2021: Almost 5 mons post op! Everyday I am so thankful to have found dr lee. It’s such a great feeling to no longer be insecure about my breast .. and let’s not forget the freedom of Not having to wear a bra with certain tops and dresses ! So so happy

Breast implant exchange with full anchor lift - all is well know and I am so happy!

This took me forever to do. I was so scared! But now my only regret was that I didn't do it sooner! My journey had a hiccup... I overdid it and had a bleed under the skin on my right breast. I'm right handed so this made sense, but it was a big wake up call. Take your doctor's advice and TAKE IT EASY after surgery! All is well know and I am so happy!
