YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH DR. ELIZABETH LEE.

“I took my time to research different CoolSculpting clinics – knowing there’s lots of differences in skill-level and methodologies. I consulted with MDs in Walnut Creek and Danville/ Alamo until I found Dr. Elizabeth Lee in Lafayette. I’m in healthcare myself, and found her to be truly outstanding – focused on wellness and health, not just vanity and aesthetics. She is one of the first physicians that I’ve met to offer tons of educational resources and practical tips about dieting and nutrition as well.

I purchased cycles CoolSculpting to diminish my ‘muffintop’ and after 5 weeks, it’s made an incredible difference (and the results keep coming after 12 weeks). Others have commented on my ‘flat tummy’ without my saying a word. The experience was a bit painful with some swelling for a few days. However, I was able to resume regular exercise and activity in 24 hours (just take it slow). My biggest advice is to drink lots of water, consult with the office for any additional advice and post-treatment care, and start getting excited when you get out of the shower and look at the results of CoolSculpting. It works, it makes sense scientifically – and you are in good hands with a smart and well-experienced Dr. Elizabeth Lee. It will change you!”

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH DR. LEE AT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OAKLAND. SHE IMPRESSED ME WITH HER SURGICAL SKILL, HER PROFESSIONALISM AND HER DIPLOMATIC COMMUNICATION APPROACH.

Why did you choose Dr. Lee as your Plastic Surgeon?
‍
I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Lee at Children’s Hospital Oakland. She impressed me with her surgical skill, her professionalism and her diplomatic communication approach. Also, I wanted a woman for my surgeon. I feel more comfortable and confident under the care of a female plastic surgeon. I believe being a woman she possesses insight of the finite needs/wishes of her female clients which I believe would escape a male surgeon.

MANY, MANY THANKS FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO REMOVE THE “BUMP” WHEN SO MANY OTHER DOCTORS WOULD NOT

“Dear Dr. Lee,
It’s been almost 6 weeks since you took the stitches out my knee after removing that weird tumor. I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you did for me. Although the procedure was sumple, it has made a huge difference in my life. I am no longer in pain, which is absolutely wonderful. Best of all, I am now able to be so much more physically active. Every day I am getting stronger, and I feel more like my old self than I have in a long, long time.

Many, many thanks for having the courage to remove the “bump” when so many other doctors would not. You will always have my profound gratitude.”

IT HAS BEEN SO EASY

“Since having my son 23 years ago, I have had that stubborn, hard to lose lower back fat. No matter how much weight I lost, I couldn’t completely lose it. When I learned of CoolSculpting from Dr. Elizabeth Slass Lee, I thought this could be the answer to my long awaited prayers. Dr. Lee and her staff were wonderful. I felt completely comfortable in their care. They explained the procedure, the possible side effects and the length of time it would take to see results. The CoolSculpting could not have been easier. The machines use suction to attach to the problem area then cool for an hour per cycle. Once the machine is turned on, I was made comfortable with pillows, cool drink, low lights and a flat screen television. I watched a movie on Netflix. The time went by quickly after a few minutes the treated area numbed and I was relaxed and watching a movie. After CoolSculpting my lower back was slightly swollen and numb, unless I touched the area I really didn’t feel it. The amazing thing is there was no down time. I rode my horse after 4 days, no discomfort at all. It has been a week since my CoolSculpting procedure and any swelling I had has been gone for a few days. Every day after I shower I massage the area with lotion for a few minutes. I can already feel less fat when I pinch my back. Dr. Lee explained that it could take up to 4 months for complete results, so I am thrilled that I feel less fat in such a short time. It has been so easy, I would definitely recommend it to anyone! I am excited to see and feel the continued changes.”
