Patient Testimonials

ALWAYS A GREAT RESULT!

"I’m super picky and vain, very careful and paranoid, yet Dr. Lee always has been so great. Im 47 and my youth is fading yet Dr. Lee always gives me back a bunch of years!!!’. I’m always thrilled with the results. She tells me when I don’t need something which I appreciate very much. Shes very careful, I’ve had very little to no bruising, practically no pain. Extremely happy with the results, as usual :). Very reasonably priced too.
Thank you Dr. Lee!!!!!!!!!!"

FINALLY HAD THIS DONE!

"I had been thinking about this surgery for years, and decided to have it done before I retired. I think I look great! I’m no beauty, but at a point I can truly say, ‘this is as good as it gets’ thanks to the surgery. I wish I had done it years ago. It turned out to be very easy and painless. I cannot think of even one thing negative about the experience and the outcome."

SERIOUS BREAST RECONSTRUCTION

"I had seriously asymmetrical breasts and tuberous breast disease, a condition that results in a very disturbing breast appearance. As a teen I suffered from this condition and never let anyone see me. IT is an amazing transformation. I am no longer ashamed or hiding myself from myself."

MORE THAN JUST A SKILLED PLASTIC SURGEON, BUT A COMPASSIONATE HEALER

"I had two ears whose peircings had stretched to the point of splitting my earlobe. From the moment she escorted me back to the exam room, I felt at complete ease. Dr. Lee is of course an excellent physician, but she also relates to you on a personal level. She fixed my earlobes and “saw” me and diagnosed issues multiple other doctors could not see, and gave me useful referrals. She understands the psychological importance of plastic surgery, and that which surgery can and cannot help. I will not hesitate to refer others to her. I feel wonderful now that I have normal earlobes and am able to wear peirced earrings again in just three more months. She is so skilled, I didn’t even feel the numbing medication, nor is there even a scar you can see. I felt like a friend, rather than a patient. Rarely do you find a physician who cares about your healing, rather than just medical treatment, which rarely works alone. I have worked with many physicians, as a nurse, and I would not hesitate to work with Dr. Lee professionally, as well as be her patient. that is the highest praise I can give anyone. I trust her without question. Thank you so much.."

THE BEST SURGEON FOR INJECTABLES OR SURGERY THAT YOU COULD EVER HOPE FOR!!!!

"This is a review in praise of Dr. Elizabeth Lee.

I had wanted surgery for the bags under my eyes, as well as lip filler to counter act the thinning and signs of age which I was not ready to accept. My previous year had been trying, my face worse for the wear.

As I do not live in California, and was in for only a short stay, Dr. Lee suggested that I have filler along the cheekbone beneath my eye socket, and come back for the surgery when my schedule allowed.

A few moments in her chair, I emerged with ten years erased from my face. Dr. Lee explained that the volume loss along the cheekbone below the eye socket that occurs with age exacerbates the look of the sunken tear trough. Dr. Lee injected Radiesse, the result being a refreshed look, completely natural. In her skilled hands a syringe and filler restored my face to the one which felt again like my own.

Next came my lips. Having seen so many photographs of ungainly lip enhancements, I had been concerned that injectables were not easily controlled. How wrong I was. Dr. Lee works with the material with the eye of an artist and the hands surgeon, creating precisely the enhancement I had hoped for.

The skill of the surgeon is crucial, key.

Dr. Lee was extremely judicious in her use of the filler (Juvederm), renewing the plumpness time had stolen while keeping a look that is natural without the slightest hint of trout pout. I had requested a more three dimensional definition of the vermillion border, without distorting my cupid’s bow, or creating an overly inflated artificial look. This is precisely what I got.

I have a tendency to faint during any medical procedure; Dr. Lee was extremely gentle and patient, guiding me through step by step, remaining sensitive to my response throughout.

As I move and travel frequently, I am still planning on going to Dr. Lee for surgery in the future, as I would prefer a solution which requires less upkeep than the injectable fillers.

If I lived near her practice in Berkeley, I would be in regularly, seeing what other miracles her skilled and practised hands could bestow upon my face and body!!!

I am delighted with her work, and recommend her unreservedly.

Cost of injectables- $650. per cc- worth every penny!!!!!"

MY EXPERIENCE WITH A NECKLIFT

"Dr. Lee was referred to me by another doctor. I can’t say enough about how fabulous my necklift experience was and is. I am in my 70’s and I had a serious turkey waddle neck. The folds of skin even hung over my turtle necks. Dr. Lee did an incredible job with hardly any discomfort. Both she and her office staff were extremely wonderful and dealt with my fears and anxieties. The surgery was so much easier than I thought it was going to be and Dr. Lee was always available for my questions and concerns both before and after the surgery. In my opinion she is truly an artist and I would recommend her to anyone."

MULTI-TALENTED PLASTIC SURGEON

"I really like Dr. Lee. She is an honest, straightforward doctor who is not motivated to do procedures unless they are the best answer for you. I have gone to her for small injections such as Dysport and Restylane and also a small surgical procedure. I also consulted with her about a more major surgery, and she was very kind and honest and explained I would not benefit from it, which I really appreciated. I get the feeling other plastic surgeons would not only do any procedure, but push procedures that are unnecessary. She is very smart and pleasant and I always have a positive experience at her office."

BREAST IMPLANT REMOVAL–BEST DECISION EVER!

"Twenty years ago I had my 32Bs upsized, and for 20 years I was self-conscious about how very large they were, how COLD my saline implants always made me feel, and in general was very unhappy with the results, but was afraid to go under the knife again. The doctor performing my original surgery put in implants that left me a 32DD which was far larger than I wanted and totally dismissed my requests for smaller implants. This past year, I interviewed many doctors before selecting one who actually seemed to hear me. I am so happy to say that I have my own healthy perky breasts back–after explant only. I did not opt for a lift and have had wonderful results.

It has now been 6 months later and I am very happy to say that I have my natural breasts, no lift, no pain. I am happier than I ever imagined I could be with my body. I am also very thankful that she is the type of doctor who will encourage minimally invasive proceedures vs. multiple unnecessary surgery. I had many thourough follow-up visits and definitely the most seemless procedure across the board I could imagine."

NATURAL AND TEN YEARS YOUNGER

"Do it for yourself!

My neck lift and laser peel went perfectly. I always knew what to expect because Dr. Lee prepared me so well.
And, 2 1/2 months later, the results are remarkable. I look like myself but my younger, well-rested self.
The very best part is that I look so natural. Nothing is pulled or tight. I just look 10 years younger."

TUMMY TUCK

"I initially visited Dr. Lee to discuss my very raised and bumpy c-section scar but, took the opportunity to talk about a possible tummy tuck as well. She was so easy, approachable and informative. She explained my options and at no time did I feel like she was pushing me in any direction. After researching other plastic surgeons in the area, I decided to have the tummy tuck and to go with Dr. Lee. Not only was there an overwhelming amount of positive feedback posted about her at various sites but, she was also incredibly personable, communicative and a good listener. The surgery went very well and recovery was just as she explained, not fun but no complications. She has worked continuously with me to ensure that my new scar does not grow like my old one. I would absolutely go back to Dr. Lee if I needed other procedures in the future."
