Profile

Dr. Lee is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Lee grew up in a physician household with his father, an orthopedic surgeon who was trained by the U.S. Army during the reconstruction following the Korean War. 

Due to political instability that preceded the age of Samsung and Hyundai and the economic explosion that is South Korea today, Dr. Lee immigrated with his family to the United States at a young age. As a youth, Dr. Lee pursued music through solo violin performance, competing in the annual UNICEF Youth Music Competition. 

Ensemble musical performance was also integral with membership in the prestigious San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra with acclaimed tours through the most storied concert halls in Europe and a first-place finish at the International Youth Music Festival in Vienna, Austria.

I went to a few consults before choosing Dr. Lee, he was very knowledgeable, explained the surgery, took pictures and drew pictures of what he expected the outcome to look like and also what to expect post surgery. Surgery was in Feb 2024. He was very calming and made me feel I was in great hands. I had my second pair of breast implants removed and a breast lift. I didn't leave a review early on, giving it more than 6 mos. I'm completely happy, thrilled and satisfied with his work. It changed my lifestyle and my body feels great!! BIG Thanks to Dr. Lee and his team for all their support!! Highly Recommend!! Anna (Donnelly) Rosenberg

I wouldn't trust my plastic surgery, laser treatments and Dysport to anyone else! Dr Lee, Jeni, Meghan, Robin, and Elizabeth ROCK!!! I was extremely nervous 10 years ago when I got my first surgery by Dr Lee. Everyone was so encouraging and helpful, and it’s such a positive experience. Jeni is so awesome!!! Shes always happy and smiling and singing!! I just love her so much! I never feel judged or overlooked. So awesome!!

Long over due review… Five years ago, I made the life-changing decision to undergo a breast reduction and lift with Dr.Lee. Looking back, I am still thrilled with the results and the positive impact it has had on my life. The physical discomfort and limitations I once faced are now distant memories, replaced by a newfound confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone considering a similar journey.

I can’t even begin to describe the positive experience I had with Dr Lee and his staff! Dr Lee performed a breast reduction and lift and I couldn’t be more happier with the results. Dr Lee’s professionalism and skill exceeded my expectations. His kind and calming demeanor is a bonus too! I did extensive research and had quite a few consultations before deciding to go with Dr Lee and I am so glad I did. His staff are always friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommended Dr Lee and am very grateful to have found such a wonderful surgeon.

I recently had a mommy makeover with Dr. Richard Lee at Newport Body, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the initial consultation to post-operative care, Dr. Lee and his staff provided exceptional support and guidance. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to patient satisfaction put me at ease throughout the entire process. Dr. Lee is everything you want in a surgeon. He has the skills, experience, professionalism, and superb bedside manners. Thank you Elizabeth, Megan and Robin for guiding me through the process and answering all my questions and concerns. Your attention to detail and patience made me feel comfortable and supported throughout. I highly recommend Dr. Richard Lee for anyone considering plastic surgery.
