BEWARE: My Life is Forever Changed from This Surgeon
Cute6904March 6, 2024
BEWARE! Absolute horror story- This surgeon not only botched my nose to the point of rhinoplasty experts stating it will be $50,000 to correct everything but his practice manager Angela and Dr. Charles Lee not only admitted to negligence in regard to my botched surgery but threatened me to sign a NDA that turned out to be a release of settlement for a 2nd free surgery that I chose not to accept, in which I have documented evidence. My lawyer is now finally filing a medical malpractice suit asap as they finally took me for another ride after Dr. Lee personally texted me asking to resolve and refund me but when asked for other damages of future surgery and emotional/ pain and suffering, he blocked me. A year of back and forth of games and a lack of responsibility for the negligence and wrongdoings I now have to live with everyday with my inability to breathe out of my nose as before and with my nose looking absolutely insane.
Don't go by Tik Tok followers or content that is clever or funny, find a surgeon with integrity and ethical values that does not view patients as a quick cash grab. Do yourself a favor and think again before consulting with Dr. Charles Lee. I'll regret this for the rest of my life.

Response from Dr. Lee:
We take all reasonable steps to remedy unfavorable outcomes and our policy is to not assign blame regardless of fault (either the patient’s or the surgeon’s) but rather correct the situation in the form of revision surgery without a surgeon’s fee. Not every surgery goes perfectly. In your case, it would be important for you to also share with our readers 1. how severely deviated your nose looked prior to your surgery with me, 2. how many prior multiple prior failed rhinoplasties/ nasal fractures you may have had; and 3. what procedure(s) you may have undergone with other surgeon(s) during your healing process that directly can impact nasal healing (without notifying the office). Finally, you posted scars from removal of a breast(s), and not that of rib harvest, which was hidden inside the scar. Your situation illustrates the importance of maintaining reasonably close follow-up with your surgeon in the early post operative period.
