Dr. Lee + Team Are Awesome!
Dr. Lee and his team made the whole process from booking my consultation to the day of surgery an absolute breeze. On the day of my surgery, I felt like I was in the best hands. Dr. Lee has a very comforting vibe & his experience and knowledge shines through in everything he does. I can genuinely say that I enjoyed my procedure - him and his team are so personable that the conversation was fun.
So, what happened on surgery day for my FUT procedure?
1) A member of Dr. Lee’s team checked my vitals, had me do a COVID test, asked me what I wanted for lunch, had me go over some forms / answered all of my questions, and then took my blood for PRP.
2) Dr. Lee answered all of my questions and drew a hair line that he thought would best suit me & be age appropriate in the future. We agreed on a hairline & then hit the photo booth to get pre-procedure pictures.
3) I was given mild sedatives / anti-anxiety medication and an antibiotic to take.
4) Local anesthetic was applied. I had seen a lot online about these injections being painful, but Dr. Lee uses a vibrating device that makes it painless.
5) The strip was cut and the suture was performed. I originally intended to go with an FUE procedure, but after seeing Dr. Lee’s previous work and experience in making such small scars that force hair to grow through them (if you’re feeling nerdy look up trichophytic closures), I went with an FUT. It’s helpful to have a surgeon that is skilled in both procedures, because there are advantages / disadvantages to both. Techs in the room worked on dissecting the follicles apart in the strip.
6) Honestly, after this point, I was so relaxed from the drugs that I took a nap, so I can’t comment much on what happened here. As I woke up, the skilled technicians were inserting the final grafts into the sites created by Dr. Lee.
7) Dr. Lee takes after-procedure photos.
8) The team was so efficient that I actually took my lunch to go (procedure lasted from 7 am to 1:20ish pm).
9) I received two texts from Dr. Lee’s personal cell phone checking on me already this evening.
I plan to update my review in the future as the results come in, but I have no doubt that they are going to be great. I’m really happy I picked Dr. Lee and his team. Surgery can feel scary, but he made it feel like we were just hanging out while he and his team were working diligently.
