Before You Say Yes

Heres my advice!

Please always do your research. Look at the bad reviews and see what were the complaints. Address this during the consultation and listen to his/her side before jumping the gun. I was young and naive. I didn't know anything and would think "He's the surgeon, he knows everything". Absolutely NOT! I know first hand about Dr. Lee's nature. I was his patient. I know his staff and can name them by heart.

He was so kind and generous at first, but when things don't go HIS way. He disappears. Don't chance it because of the price. You'll lose 6 years of self-esteem and hardwork because of it. :/

Young ones who are looking. Look at the best doctors. Google them. Look at the reviews and see if there is a recurring issue. I cannot stress this enough.

He was probably an excellent surgeon years ago but that same surgeon was not there for me when I laid on that surgery table.

A little disclaimer: I can only speak for his rhinoplasty skills with him because that was the ONLY procedure I had done. Everything else, please look into them!

When I first turned 20 (I am 26 now) I went to Dr. Lee for my first rhinoplasty. I have always wanted one and saved up so much! He was nice and welcoming at first but notice he NEVER asked what I wanted (remember! Your nose is NOT a play dough! This I understood!). He automatically started mapping my nose using his vision and showed me OLD before and afters. Being the young naive and excited girl I was (without doing research) I booked the surgery with him.

After the surgery, I noticed he was nowhere to be found and my husband had to walk me to the car. Feeling doozy and numb after the whole ordeal. I also felt the painful numbing injections he did on me when I was under the local anestethics! Healing was good but it then resulted in me having a polypeak and a recurring bump on my nose!

Same thing kept happening for 4 REVISIONS! I even paid for one of the anesthesia which he supposedly took his time on. But he finished under 2 hours. (Some surgeon works faster than others). I even noticed he had sight issues while they walked me to the surgery table! 

The last resulted in a crooked nose, polypeak and a few bumps. But that same recurring bump is gone! I was suppose toso a follow up with him but he kept post-poning them and ever called me back to reschedule! 

9 months after the final revision he had given me, he sent me A LETTER that said we completed our surgery and I am done with everything! A LETTER? They never called me back and never even did a follow up with me! A letter?! Unheard of! I emailed them back asking them why they would send this when he never saw me after everything? No answer. 

Heart broken and wasted my time and energy with him. I ended up looking for other doctors around the area! Some I wished I could of went to first and some I couldnt afford. 

But I settled with one. Dr Flemming. 

Our date in on 12/11. And I will do a review on him when everything is healed and ready. So 3 months from now. His staff. Goodness!!! They were amazing! The difference between them is night and day compared to Dr. Lee!

Let me know if you guys have any questions whatsoever! I will keep you guys updated with my new doctor!

This was before I had the 3rd revision to correct the very noticeable bump on my left side. (This pic is my second revision) This pic shows my right side of my nose! It was perfect! I contoured the bump that is suppose to be on the left of the nose bridge. Trying to find where I am not wearing makeup so you guys can bettee see. It will probably be difficult. I honestly can not find a pic of me taking photos on my left because I always took photos on my right. My good side! Now I am depressed that the noticeable bump is now on my right side after this surgery. Glad he removed it from my left in all but I didnt want it on my right side! I would of prefer it to return to my left or obviously no bumps at all! I hope the bump goes down!!! I can not promote/model for products and record tutorials! Ugh... i will search my phone for more pics and take a pic of my nose now. Been busy with work. Wont really post anything on my first rhinoplasty since it looks the same as my second. Anywho, I thought 3rd times a charm! Still hoping the bump resides after 3 months, of course I am a still little over a week post. Sooo trying to be patient and pray that the bump will reside!
