Second session done and healed and I am already moving on to another section of tattoos! Great service and results so far! Will be coming back and for sure recommending to others I know who want to remove or prep for covering up undesirable tattoos.

I had several procedures done at once. Mini face lift, fat graft, upper and lower eyelid surgery. I read almost all of his comments on real self, google and yelp. Dr. Lee made me feel extremely comfortable during my consultation and on procedure day. Nurse Tina was beyond helpful, informative and sweet. I always loving going to follow ups because they treat you like family. I see him more regularly for Botox now and I enjoy seeing doc and staff every few months. Feel like family. I send all my friends and family to him because he is the best!

I thought a long time about buccal fat removal procedure to reduce my chubby cheeks. I didn’t know this kind of procedure even existed. A friend of mine introduced me to L plastic surgery in San Francisco, telling me about this amazing procedure. After I got this procedure, my face went from being chubby to slim. I was really nervous with the procedure but I am extremely happy to have this procedure done. The staff is always very professional and caring and Dr. Lee is an amazing surgeon and made me feel safe. I recommend him to anyone, I trust him!

I had my first ever cosmetic procedure, double eyelid surgery, done by Dr. Charles Lee in San Francisco. I spent a significant amount of time researching plastic surgeons and chose him due to his impeccable record and positive reviews. Dr. Lee is a meticulous and highly trained plastic surgeon. He is an artist and technical perfectionist. He treats his patients personably and nice and his work is outstanding. His price might be high but please don’t look for discounts when it comes to plastic surgery. You want the very best when it comes to your life and the quality of the result. “You get what you pay for” is true with Dr. Lee. He is worth every cent. When I left Dr. Lee’s office after the initial consultation I was not even questioning if I needed to get a second or third opinion. I knew he was the surgeon I was going with. I booked right after coming in. I must also say that Dr. Lee’s assistant Tina was also very professional and available for any pre or post-surgery questions. I am extremely happy with my results and my choice. Thank you so much for excellent care!

Yelp and realself has been extremely helpful in my search for a doctor that I trust to perform my very first cosmetic surgery. I am in my early 30s, tall with a skinny frame. I have been an A cup all my life. I have never felt as feminine in tight fitting clothes or dresses. I wanted a fuller bust but still look natural in my frame. I have done about 4 to 5 consults before I decided with Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee's team was knowledgeable and always within reach. Dr. Lee was easy to talk to and informative. He guided me through the process of choosing the right implant size and shape. He recommended a few sizes and allowed me to make the final decision. Diana provided me with a sport's bra where I can try on the implants to see how each would look on my body. I was very comfortable throughout the process. Since this is my first surgery ever, I prepared many questions in advance. Dr. Lee was very patient and answered all my questions. After the initial consultation, I knew that Dr. Lee was going to be my surgeon. Fast forward to 3 months after surgery, I am back to my normal activities. Most of the swelling is gone and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I am now a full B. The implants look very natural and fit my frame very well. Dr. Lee did an amazing job! This was a life changing experience for me. I can't express my gratitude to Dr. Lee and his team. I can't wait for summer and be able to wear dresses and tank tops confidently!
