Here is an excerpt from his interview with Locale Magazine:
How does it feel to be voted one of the top five plastic surgeons in OC?
Dr. Raymond Lee: Newport Beach and Orange County are known as some of the finest locations for plastic surgery in the nation. The residents here want to look and feel their best. We have some of the best plastic and facial plastic surgeons working and living here. It’s an honor to be selected among the best. This reflects our high patient satisfaction rates and quality of patient care from my staff and me. We are very proud to be selected.
Your education and career has taken you to Chicago, Miami, and Indianapolis. What brought you to the West Coast?
RL: With my education and training, I have had the opportunity to live in some amazing cities across the US. My family is what brought me back to Southern California. Fortunately, my family is near Orange County, where we have great weather all year-round, the ocean and a cool beach culture.
What do you think makes your practice stand out from the rest?
RL: FACEOLOGYMD focuses exclusively on plastic surgery of the face and neck. Specifically, we focus on facial rejuvenation procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. I have performed over 4,000 face and neck lifts. I also perform the procedure uniquely under local anesthesia and oral sedation. We feel that we do get the nicest and most grateful patients.
Can you tell us about your experience volunteering at children’s hospitals in Cambodia and the Dominican Republic?
RL: Volunteering to help children from third world countries is a humbling experience. Often, we get caught up in trying to achieve and enjoy the perfect OC lifestyle. It is important to travel and see the world, both in its riches and poverty. We need to keep our eyes open and help others in need. Giving to others in need by donating my time and expertise is the least I can do.
Thank you to all of our patients and supporters for your votes—we are eternally grateful for you!
