Eyelid surgery, addresses upper and lower Lids: Eyelid rejuvenation is the single most important procedure that can turn back the clock on the aging face. Excessive skin, wrinkles, and fat around the eyes can make the face appear tired and aged. The upper lid can be treated effectively with removal of the excess skin, muscle, and fat. The lower lid area can be treated with removal of skin and fat, or transposing/grafting fat in the tear trough area to smooth the contour. Dr. Lee is an expert in eyelid surgery and has performed hundreds of blepharoplasty procedures to rejuvenate the face. Multiple advances in lower eyelid surgery have occurred in the past few years, including Fat Transposition to the tear trough and the “Touchless Technique” with the incision on the inner eyelid to avoid scars and irritation to the muscle. Dr. Lee uses the most advanced techniques to naturally turn back the clock around the eyes. Blepharoplasty can most often be performed as an office procedure.

Breast Augmentation

My Dream Results — Thank You Dr. Lee!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Dr. Lee. I had my breast augmentation in January, and the results are exactly what I had envisioned—natural, beautifully proportioned, and perfectly suited to my frame. From the initial consultation to my final follow-up, Dr. Lee and his team made me feel supported, heard, and completely at ease. The entire recovery process was seamless, and I was amazed at how quickly I healed with minimal discomfort. Dr. Lee’s expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care truly set him apart. I felt confident every step of the way, and I’m so grateful to have found a surgeon who not only delivers incredible results but also prioritizes patient comfort and trust. I couldn’t recommend him more!

My Beautiful Outcome with Dr Lee

I am extremely satisfied and honestly thrilled by my results from facial plastic surgery with Dr Lee. My drooping eyelids and sagging jawline had been bothering me for years, so I decided to celebrate my 60th birthday with facial plastic surgery. I visited several doctors and decided to go with Dr Lee for a bunch of reasons: 1) he provided lots of great before and after photos 2) has a super nice and organized office and staff 3) has extensive experience with the kind of facial plastic surgery I was seeking 4) awesome bedside manner with a kind, patient and confident demeanor 5) easy parking and location 6) surgery center right next door to his office. The surgery itself went like clockwork. His surgery support team were warm and reassuring. I was extremely swollen after surgery, but Dr Lee and his staff walked me through the recovery process and listened patiently to all my concerns and worries checking in with me every day during the first few weeks and always texting me back right away when I had questions. Jessica, my assigned nurse, was always available to talk or text. I was concerned about not looking like myself after the surgery, but at nine months out, I am thrilled to say that I look like me, only 10 years younger!

Facelift - 1.5 months post op

I found Dr. Lee first for a revision for my left upoer eyelid correct. He did a good job and has a very good personalty and i feel like i can trust him with bigger operations such as my facelift that i got 1.5 month ago. The recovery was very fast and no complications. He is very patient and makes everything easy. I did not worry and knew i was in good hands.

2 Months post-op - I feel 20 years younger.

Very satisfied with the result; I am 100% happy. Strongly recommend A++++.. Dr. Lee is very knowledgable and kind. I feel 20 years younger. I am so happy I can wake up feeling beautiful. The recovery was very easy. The first 2 days had the worst swelling but afterwards I healed very well. Dr. Lee and his staff called me every day for a week and was sure to answer any questions I had even on the weekends. I am so happy I found him and cannot recommend him enough!!

Eyelid Surgery

Almost 6 months post-op and I am loving my results

First of all, I flew from Hawaii to San Francisco for my surgery. I was only in CA for two weeks, so it was great that Dr. Lee and his team was able to get me in for a consultation, get the surgery done along with the follow up within that time. I got revision eyelid surgery to fix the DST (Double suture technique) procedure that I got done 10 years ago because my crease/eyelids was getting smaller, and my eyes were uneven. I voiced my concerns about my eyelids and Dr. Lee acknowledged my concerns and recommended what would be the best option for me. Dr. Lee and his team, especially Jessica, were very professional and friendly. My surgery went well. They explained all the post-op care and reassured me to just trust the process. Their customer service is top notch. If I have any questions, I will just email them and either Jessica or Dr. Lee would response within a day, which I appreciate very much. I am 4 days away from my 6 months post-op and I am loving my results. I cannot wait until it truly heals at the 1-year mark. I am so happy that I decided to get the revision eyelid surgery done. I feel beautiful with and without makeup after the surgery. I recommend Dr. Lee and his team to anyone who is considering getting revision eyelid surgery or other services that they provide. I can assure you that you will be well cared for.

Impressed me with their professionalism, knowledge, and kindness

Dr. Lee and his team truly impressed me with their professionalism, knowledge, and kindness from the consultation to post-follow ups. I am thrilled with the results of the procedure. My mother and grandmother experienced similar eye issues, so I am grateful to have had the opportunity to address it. Dr. Lee took a conservative approach, ensuring that I still look like myself, only better.

Breast Fat Transfer

Sensible899210

Abdominal Liposuction with Fat Transfer to Breast

I had surgery with Dr. Lee in June of 2024 to address two concerns. First, I had a prior breast augmentation with a different provider and felt the implants settled a bit too far apart and wanted more fullness toward the center as it was difficult to create cleavage without wearing a sports bra. Second, I wanted to remove some fat on my stomach and around my waist. To address these concerns he performed liposuction across my stomach, above the belly button, and onto the waist area to achieve a good shape before then transferring that extracted fat predominately on the inside of each breast to create more fullness there and allow better cleavage. Dr. Lee was very helpful and kind in listening to my concerns and helping me come up with an effective surgical plan to achieve the desired outcome. The nursing staff including both Maggie and Jessica who I worked with were incredibly kind and kept up very good communication addressing all my concerns, navigating the insurance coverage, and making sure I was able to be stress free from start to finish. Now at about six weeks out I'm very happy with this stage of the recovery, looking forward to seeing the final appearance! Updated on 25 Jul 2024: The combined image in the post was compressed really small and as a result you couldn't make out any of the details. There are no major updates to my health or my results since yesterday but the site requires me to type 200 characters so here are a bunch of extra words that don't really mean anything. I'm still just as happy as I was yesterday lol. Anyway, so here are the pictures individually, hopefully it doesn't make them tiny and blurry!

Double Eyelid Surgery

Choose Dr. Lee! Double eyelid results were natural in appearance

Dr. Lee knows what he is doing. For double eyelid surgery, I highly recommend his office. He listens to the goals and concerns of the patient, and he executes them. His surgery results were natural in appearance. He pays attention to detail and took his time during surgery. I consulted with a handful of the best doctors in the Bay Area before choosing Dr. Lee, and I am so happy I chose him.
