Patient Testimonials

Dr. Lee is a fantastic surgeon but also an incredible advocate. She asks about your lifestyle, goals, and preferences and truly listens to what you’re trying to accomplish. She then provides options with a thorough explanation of the pros/cons of each, and is able to talk through variables you may have not considered. She performed my implant removal about a year ago and I’ve had no complications, several follow up visits, and an exceptional level of care. Thank you Dr. Lee!

I had an amazing experience getting Xeomin and filler! Carmen was incredibly knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. She explained everything in detail, answered all my questions, and ensured the results looked natural — which was exactly what I wanted. The clinic was clean, welcoming, and had a relaxing atmosphere. I’m thrilled with the outcome and will definitely be coming back for future treatments. Highly recommend!

THE DIVA TREATMENT WORKED REALLY WELL AND I RECOMMEND THE TREATMENT AND DR LEE
I had an excellent experience coming in for Diva treatment. I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. Dr. Lee talked me through the procedure and what to expect. Carmen was the nurse that performed my Diva treatments and she was very comforting and fun. The Diva treatment worked really well and I recommend the treatment and Dr Lee.

AMAZING SURGICAL OUTCOME
“I could not have had a better experience or outcome after a breast implant exchange with Dr. Lee. Almost 2 years ago I underwent a breast augmentation at another office and the results were far from my expectations.

Coming to Dr. Lee I connected instantly feeling she really listened to what my concerns and end goal was. Having a lot of questions she sent me home with options to consider. Working with her we came up with a solution and she executed our vision to the fullest and I could not be happier. I am 2 and a half weeks post op and she has seen me weekly to make sure the healing process is going smoothly.

She takes the time to assess how I am feeling and give me my freedom/restrictions within what I can do that week. I am forever grateful how she has made me feel about my body again and cannot promote her enough. Best decision I have ever made!

The women running her office are absolutely amazing and accommodating as well.

Highly recommend!!!”

GREAT OUTCOME AND TERRIFIC STAFF
“After 2 kids and turning 40, I started noticing changes in my body and specifically that I was experience stress incontinence at a rate that seemed fairly significant for my age. After a lot of reading and research I decided to try the diVa treatment with Dr. Lee. who was recommended in my area.

I’m a fairly squeamish patient with a low pain tolerance and I was extremely nervous about being lasered in this most sensitive area but I had also recently gone through a divorce after 18 years of marriage and I was suffering from low self-esteem and the natural feelings that come after turning 40 and being single again. I felt that doing something for myself and taking care of an issue that had really been bothering me would help give me a boost.

From the moment I arrived at Dr. Lee’s office, I knew I had made the right decision. Her office staff is both cheerful and calming, she’s one of the most down-to-earth doctor’s I’ve ever met, she never talks down to you and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for you. I especially like the fact that you can tell she’s an advocate for women’s health, she cares about all aspects of her patients and she makes you feel completely at ease. The rest of the staff are a complete pleasure to deal with and make you feel very relaxed and cared for.

Truthfully the procedure itself ended up being a lot more painful than I had bargained for based on the other reviews I had read. Thankfully it’s very quick and the painful portion comes at the very end and only lasts a couple of minutes but I was definitely clenching my teeth and had to stop a couple of times to rest before resuming. The nice part is that Dr. Lee and the staff will work with you on subsequent treatments to help you getting a better result with the numbing cream (hint….you need to lay down for the full hour and shift into a few different positions to ensure that the numbing cream hits all sides of the vagina). Every person is different, like I said I have a low tolerance for pain and it’s only a couple of minutes and for me the pain stopped as soon as the laser was off so there wasn’t any residual or throbbing pain afterward. I had a very slight amount of bleeding after the 2nd treatment but not enough to even wear a pad. Otherwise no side affects and no issues.

I did the full round of 3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart and have seen great results. I’ve seen a huge improvement in the stress incontinence and have definitely noticed a big difference in lubrication and sensation during sex. Working with Dr. Lee, I’ve decided to also continue with a refresher treatment to continue to improve upon the results further. She has recommended ways to feel more comfortable for subsequent procedures (ibuprofen ahead of time, different methods with numbing cream positions etc.) and I love that she can take very honest feedback and work with you to find the best solution.”

I’M A YOUTHFUL LOOKING MID-FIFTIES WOMAN WITH…
“I’m a youthful looking mid-fifties woman with hooded eyes. A few years ago I noticed I was constantly raising my eyebrows; it was getting harder to see clearly as my upper eyelids drooped and weighed down my eyes. Not only did I look “mean” and tired, my forehead was constantly fatigued by the end of the day, and that made me feel tired when I actually wasn’t (kind of like yawning makes you feel tired, even if you aren’t.) Dr. Lee was AMAZING. Realistic, kind, and very good at what she does, I felt I was in very good hands. She met with me a week before the procedure so I could ask any questions, and to talk through what recovery would entail. The day of the surgery, I was nervous until I saw Dr. Lee in her scrubs, all smiles and so calm and caring. The nursing staff was over the top sweet, and I was just so well cared for in every way. Three weeks later, I am back to my regular routine, wearing contacts, and my eyes look GREAT!”

BEST IN THE BAY AREA

“Dr. Lee and her team are excellent. Have gotten both CoolSculpting and Dysport with her and couldn’t have asked for a better office to receive my treatments. I was hesitant to visit a Plastic Surgeon which kept me from looking further into treatments I was curious about, and am so happy to have found Dr. Lee in the past year. She is incredibly thorough and genuinely cares about her patients, which shows in the incredible results she fosters.”

62 YEARS YOUNG AND NO MORE FAT

“Dr. Lee and her staff we wonderful to work with. Like hanging out with your best girl friends! They really cared and understood my needs. I’d had cool sculpt before with good results but these results were really outstanding. They absolutely melted away the annoying lumpy fatty areas around belly and hips in only 3 sessions. It took a total of 4 months for it to be perfect but the fat kept melting away slowly until I now have the flat stomach I’ve wanted for years and smooth hips. No more Spanx! Additionally the treatments I’d had at another doctor were extremely painful. The treatments at Dr. Lee’s were not!! It can be uncomfortable because it gets cold and then it goes numb. But I was amazed that it didn’t hurt anything like the first time I went. The treatment exceeded my expectations. I was sure I was going to have to get another cool sculpt session but I don’t need it at all! I am maintaining this by keeping a healthy diet and exercise but I am astonished at the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee and her staff. I trust them to do a great job.”

I DONT REGRET ANYTHING… EXCEPT WAITING!

“I’ve spent most of my life hiding my breasts. About 20 years ago, in my late 30s I interviewed 2 plastic surgeons and made the wrong choice, for a number of reasons. I had breast reduction but the (male) doctor said “you don’t want to be that small after all these years, you don’t want to be smaller than a D. He also never mentioned that with weight gains (swings of 10lbs, not huge amounts) menopause and gravity you can end up as big or bigger than you were before.

That being said, I spent the last 5-7 years wishing I’d waited. I felt guilty like it was all because I’d “let myself go” and didn’t want to spend more money on myself. Several times in the last 4 years I spoke to a number of doctors and had pretty much given up the idea, because I was told more than once “you won’t look that different because you have wide, wrap around type breasts”. One doctor said “they aren’t out of proportion “. After being introduced to Realself.com by a friend (that had implants removed) in another state, I had consultations with 3 more doctors. I honestly thought it was another exercise in futility.

When I met Elizabeth Lee she explained a newer procedure that enabled her to remove a lot of the tissue from the ‘sides’. Just before surgery she said “just to clarify, you want me to make y as small as I can”, to which I replied “absolutely”.

I am not fully healed, but I am so happy to say that I have gone from a G+ to about what will be a C cup. Which for a 5’4” size 8 looks to be in perfect proportion, for the first time in my life.

My rehab was easier than anticipated and my outcome is beyond expectation. Many thanks to Dr Lee. I’m not one to go back and do ‘something else’, this is my one dream, so all I can do it hopefully send more frustrated women in her direction.”
