Pre-Appointment:
Being as this was my first time with lip fillers, I did my research and spoke with 3 different offices on the phone before choosing Dr. Lee.
Gabriel, the patient coordinator, was very quick when responding to emails and answered my long list of questions from his own personal experience. I also looked at the photo's on Dr. Lee's website of his chin fillers and was sold!

Appointment Day:
The office was very clean and the lobby was decorated beautifully it felt like a living room. When I got into the room I told Dr. Lee exactly what I wanted (bigger lips + stronger jawline) he recommended we start with two syringes in my lips of Juvederm XC and then Juvederm Voluma for my chin to strengthen my jawline.

I was numbed up and ready to go, he started injecting my top lip. It pinched a little and I slightly felt the solution going in but overall it didn't hurt too bad.

Then...
The left side of my lip turned blackish blue and began to swell like crazy. Dr. Lee said it could be from the Juvederm going into a vein. As I learned, unfortunately, when putting fillers into the lips there's no way for them to tell if they are hitting a vein or not. I was a little freaked out since it was my first time I didn't know what to think of my blue lip.

Dr. Lee was calm and said not to worry he would dissolve the filler immediately. He reassured me, my safety always comes first and told me he would take care of me. He dissolved the filler, made sure I was comfortable in the private waiting room while the swelling went down and set me up with an immediate appointment at a very well known dermatologist doctor to get her opinion and ease my nerves. He then went above and beyond and set up a hyperbaric chamber treatment to speed up the healing process.

After My 1st Appointment:
Though it didn't go exactly how I imagined my first filler appointment would go, I never once felt like I made the wrong decision by coming to Dr. Lee.
He was professional, knowledgable and looked after me the entire weekend; texting to make sure I wasn't in any pain and was healing properly.

Since then I have gone back 3 times, once to refill the side of my lip we had to dissolve the filler in and two others to plump them up a little more to make them bigger.

I trust Dr. Lee will always do the right thing and that's exactly what I want in my doctor!
