Dr. Lee’s 10,000 Hours World-Class Expertise

WORTH IT
62-year-old female, Faceology Face and Neck Lift, 2 months post-op.
In his book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell explains that achieving world-class expertise in any field requires roughly 10,000 hours of focused practice. Dr. Raymond Lee has far exceeded that benchmark—devoting his career to mastering the art and science of facial plastic surgery. With his focus exclusively on the face, Dr. Lee has become one of the most trusted and skilled surgeons in his field, particularly renowned for his deep-plane facelifts (the Faceology lift).
After a disappointing experience 16 years ago with a lower eyelid procedure, I spent months researching to find the right surgeon for my face and neck lift. I realized my previous surgery went wrong because I chose a general cosmetic surgeon who worked on both the body and face. This time, I wanted an expert whose sole focus was facial rejuvenation—someone with those “10,000 hours” of specialized experience, along with a practical, reasonable approach.
That search led me to Dr. Lee. With an average of 5 stars on RealSelf, 4.8 stars on Google, and recognition as “Best Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon” by the Orange County Register, Dr. Lee quickly rose to the top of my list.
From my first consultation, I knew I had found the right doctor. Dr. Lee took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and was refreshingly honest about what results I could expect. He never tried to upsell additional procedures—in fact, he talked me out of a lip lift I thought I needed (and he was absolutely right).
On surgery day, Dr. Lee’s entire team—nurses, anesthesiologist, and staff—were warm, attentive, and reassuring. The procedure went smoothly under simple “twilight” sedation, and to my surprise, I experienced no pain and recovered much faster than I imagined.
But the true proof is in the results. My face and neck lift look beautifully natural—I appear younger and refreshed, not pulled or overdone. Friends tell me I look healthier and more vibrant, but can’t quite pinpoint why.
I’m so grateful to Dr. Lee for restoring not only my appearance but also my confidence and energy. I highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone looking to refresh and rejuvenate their look. You will not regret it!
