Do Not Use Dr. Lee!
$14,000
Terrible decision. Do not use Dr. Lee. See my previous reviews if you want details. Dr. Lee's surgery left me with larger looking nostrils, a hanging columella and other complications. Please don't take a chance and make the mistake I made. Trust me, it's really really tough.

Traumatic Experience: Worst Decision of My Life
I had a rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Lee on May 21, 2018. I decided to go with this clinic after seeing the results of Kelz198 on this site. This was a terrible decision, the worst decision of my life. Nearly a year and a half later, Dr. Lee's surgery has left me with larger looking nostrils, a hanging columella and other complications. The results were so bad that right after the surgery, Chloe (who works at the clinic) promised they would do a free revision. But overtime my nose got so bad that I (wisely) decided not to go back to Dr. Lee.
Right now I am trying to work with the clinic to come to some kind of resolution. Even though I don't like putting pics online, I might put up pictures of my results so that it helps somebody else...I'll be back with an update.

check dm's please!
Do you have any issues with the function of your nose after surgery? Breathing issues/sensation loss/ runny nose?
Yes, I do
Yes, the surgery created complications for me. My nose just never fully healed and seemed, in fact, to be getting worse over time.
Hi, so sorry to hear about your experience. Did Dr. Lee say anything about your results?
Hey sorry for your case. But can we at least be provided with the result? It would help us a lot. You may cover or blurred half of your face for the sake of your confidentiality. Or if I may, can you share with people through DM? Thanks. I hope the best for you.

Worst Decision I Ever Made (1 Year Later) - DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!
This month marks 1 year since my surgery at VIP. Although the staff and doctor were nice, my nose looks horrible. I still can't smile properly and I have to wear my hair up in order to look semi-normal. Everything in my life has fallen apart, including my romantic relationship. I was due to get a revision surgery this month but my nose is still so stiff and weird that I'm thinking it's best to wait another year. If you are reading my words, and you're set on changing your nose, VIP is a risk. Yeah, S Korea is a good place to go. Go there and check out other doctors first before settling on Dr. Lee. It's a pretty dark time in my life. I'm dreading the money I'm going to have to spend to get this fixed. Please don't take a chance and make the mistake I made. Trust me, it's really really tough.
