Look No More! Dr. Lee is Amazing!! I Highly Recommend Her.

This review is long overdue. From the initial consultation to my abdominoplasty and throughout my after care, Dr. Lee made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I had met with 2 other plastic surgeons prior to meeting Dr. Lee. She is down to earth, honest, and to the point. She answered all of my questions and more and made sure that I had a clear understanding of the procedure. She never tried to upsell me on other procedures and gave me realistic expectations. I never felt rushed to make my decision but because of her attentiveness and understanding of what I wanted, I knew that she was the right doctor for me. I had my surgery in November 2020 and due to COVID, I was in the surgery center by myself with no family support. Dr. Lee held my hand prior to surgery and that meant a lot to me - it eased my nervousness. Dr. Lee and the staff at Greenbrae Surgery Center are top notch. My surgery went well and I am very, very pleased with my results. Recovery was rough but as expected. Dr. Lee was there for me every step of the way and even met with me after hours when needed. I highly recommend Dr. Lee. Thank you Dr. Lee and Erin for your caring attentiveness. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with my results as this whole process. My only regret is that I wish I would have done this sooner.

Hello everyone. I had my abdominalplasty done on Thursday , 11/19/20. I arrived at the facility at 630 am and my surgery was scheduled for 730 am. I was home by 130 pm.

Dr. Lee and the staff at the surgery center were the very best. They made me feel so comfortable and reassured me when I needed it. I have to say I was extremely nervous and questioned my decision. But Dr. Lee and the staff helped tremendously in calming my nerves. I was prepped and when they were ready, walked into the surgery room. They all made me feel comfortable. Dr. Lee held my hand as the anesthesiologist put me to sleep. I have to say this was the most comforting thing for me.

I woke up and with the the help of the nurse, changed into my clothes. When I stood up to go to the restroom, it felt like I was kicked in the stomach 100 times over. There was no pain near my incision. The pain was right under my sternum and it was intense.

As soon as I got home, I took my pain meds. Getting into my bed was hell but once situated, I was ok. Take your meds at prescribed intervals, even if it means waking up during your time of sleep. You will need help sitting up and laying down - engaging any abdominal muscles will hurt.

Day 1 Post Op - I met with Dr. Lee this morning at 9 am. She changed my bandages and checked my drains. She states that things look good! Standing up is challenging. I am slouching over a little and it does a job on your lower back.

Day 2 - Post Op - much better. I continued with pain meds for just 1/2 the day then stopped. I am continuing my ibuprofen every 4 hours. The pain under sternum dissipated. I can really feel the tightness in my stomach. It is a weird sensation - numb and tingling.

Day 3-Post Op - Today is Sunday. As requested, I reported my drainage amounts to Dr Lee. I had one of my drains removed today..... on a Sunday!! I really appreciated her seeing me on a Sunday.

Day 5 - I am still taking my ibuprofen and reporting daily totals on my drainage. I am walking more upright each day. I am really trying to concentrate on my deep breaths. I can really feel the pull in my stomach but I know that will improve with each day. I have been walking each day as well. Taking walks back and forth in the hallway or even in the backyard. Just keep moving to get things circulating. Rest when tired. Drink lots of fluids.

One thing that was a rude awakening is coughing. It hurts like hell. I have found that squeezing a pillow tightly to your stomach somewhat helps. Have cough drops close by!!

I am extremely happy with my results thus far.

Below are some photos. More updates to follow.

I am 3 weeks out from my HLT abdominoplasty. I had been researching the procedure for nearly a year and consulted with 2 other physicians. Dr. Lee by far made me feel the most comfortable. She took the time to listen to my concerns. She explained the procedure in detail and never once made me feel like she was trying to sell me on other procedures. I made my decision to proceed with her because of the other reviews of her work, her responsive staff and Dr. Lee’s genuine caring personality. I felt at ease with her as if sharing my feelings with my sister.

I am a mother of three children and my stomach has always been my concern. I exercise regularly but my stomach has always been my troubled area. I am anxious, nervous and very excited for my procedure. More to follow.
