Absolutely a great and comfortable experience. I went in to have my gauged ears closed and I was out of there in an hour. The doctors were amazing and made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. Thanks Dr. Lee!

Dr Lee is absolutely in my opinion as good as it gets. As a male, I was very concerned about wanting a subtle change with neck and lower face. I always felt like my neck was the only area that showed my true age. I can’t share how many friends and family commented “I can’t believe how well you healed” ! Acquaintances noticed absolutely nothing changed and not because the subtle changes but because the sutures were so unnoticeable. I had them on my temples and he almost entirely tucked around the hairline which I do believe was even moved up ever so slightly in order to cover them. The actual stitches were so tight and neat and discrete that even I did not know they were there until my wife explained to me I had them there as well as completely around my ears from front outer lobe all the way around the entire back of the ear. I even asked the doctor during my month follow up if he had actually stitched or glued the area. He clarified I was stitched and only large flesh wounds get glued to my surprise. Less then 3 months later, nobody can even pick up on any scars except behind the ears which generally takes an extended time period due to the thinness of the skin and limited blood flow since there are very few arteries in that area. Dr Lee is the absolute best and I would not only recommend him to friends but family without a doubt !

Wow! What did you do? You look amazing! Would you mind sharing the name of your doctor?…….. just a few of many comments I received 10 days after a lower face lift. It was all because I chose the very best plastic surgeon…… Dr. Raymond Lee. I couldn’t be happier. The frosting on the cake is his amazing staff . Love them all. Thank you, Dr. Lee

After two other consultations with other surgeons, I was skeptical entering Dr Lee's office for my consult. I was pleasantly surprised by his mannerisms and respect for me and what my goals were. He and his staff have been nothing short of being kind, caring, patient and professional. I am very happy with my results. I highly recommended his practice.

Absolutely loved my experience with Dr. Lee for my upper blepharoplasty. From the consultation through recovery, Dr. Lee was professional, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. He explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. My results look extremely natural — I still look like myself, just more refreshed and awake. The heaviness in my eyelids is gone, and I no longer look tired all the time. Recovery was much easier than I expected, and the office staff was kind, responsive, and supportive throughout the process.

Wow! All I can say is Wow! I came to Dr. Lee on the recommendation of a dear friend (who looks completely amazing since her procedure) and I am so thankful that I did. Dr. Lee is a extremely compassionate and intelligent. His work is brilliant. I had a deep plane Faceology face lift, neck lift, eyelid procedure and co2 laser treatment. I felt completely supported and had informed through every step of the process. I knew exactly what to expect and felt very confident going into my procedure. I have been received more compliments on my skin and face than I ever could have imagined. The necklift was a miracle. Other rereviewers say don't wait and I wholeheartedly agree! You will be so happy you called Faceology.

Dr. Lee was my first consult and is who I ultimately chose as my surgeon. With that said, there are no amount of STARS that can describe how happy I am!!! Dr. Lee is truly the BEST surgeon in his field! If your goal is to look15 years younger and NATURAl, look no further!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a patient, I can confidently say there is no place I trust more than Dr. Raymond Lee, his physician assistant, Tina, and their incredible staff. What makes this even more meaningful is that I was fortunate enough to work in this office for many years, so my perspective comes from both sides. I truly loved being part of this team and felt so much pride representing a practice that genuinely puts patients first. Having seen what goes on behind the scenes, I can say with complete confidence that their care, integrity, and attention to detail are unmatched. This is not an office driven by profit--they will absolutely turn patients away if a procedure or treatment isn't in their best interest, and that says everything about who they are. Even after leaving to pursue my own career, this is still the only place I will ever go for my own aesthetics or procedures. That alone is a testament to how exceptional this practice is. When you know the level of honesty, skill, and care that exists here, there's simply no comparison. Some of my favorite procedures include filler, Botox, and lasers! I am one day postop from my latest matrix with Tina and can't wait to upload the results!

Wonderful Experience and Natural Result My experience was first rate from start to finish. Dr. Lee is a true professional, and he never tries to push additional procedures on you. I felt listened to and seen during my experience. I had very little pain (only took Tylenol after the first night) and the recovery has been very smooth. My incisions are already looking fantastic only 4 weeks out from surgery. I ended up only taking a few days off work since I work from home and was back on Zoom calls within 12 days from surgery. I am Very pleased with my results and my jawline looks like it did 15 years ago! Highly recommend him and his team.

It's your face... so you have to put it in the hands of someone you can trust, that has experience, and will provide you with excellent service and natural result! The choice is simple. Dr. Lee is all that and more. His staff greats you with a smile, and you feel comfortable throughout.

Oh my gosh—I could not be happier with my results!!! Five weeks ago, I had a lower neck facelift, and I look AMAZING. I truly look at least five years younger, and the confidence boost has been incredible! True story: I was at the pharmacy picking up medication, and the woman helping me looked at me, then at her computer, then back at me again because she could not believe I was 55. I was so shocked and flattered! I am beyond thrilled with my experience and results, and it is all thanks to Dr. Lee and his amazing staff. I cannot recommend him enough!

Dr. Lee is the Best Dr. Lee is wonderful. His staff is, too. (I was referred by another terrific doctor I trust immensely.) I had interviewed other surgeons, too. I chose Dr. Lee, who is down to earth, kind, and skilled. My surgery was (for me) easy, recovery seamless. Not a lot of pain. By day 3 swelling had already greatly diminished. I’m 2 months out and I look refreshed, my profile is restored. Every day, I see more and more improvement. I’m 64 and wanted it to be natural. I also had a mini lateral brow lift at the same time and that recovery has been amazingly quick. I can’t recommend Dr. Lee enough.

From my very first interaction with Dr. Lee and his staff I knew it was where I would choose for my facelift and laser. His knowledge, his philosophy on keeping the results as natural as possible and the overall welcoming and low pressure vibe was just what I was looking for. From my first appointment to my last, everything was explained thoroughly. Dr. Lee is a highly skilled and trained surgeon, I’m beyond pleased with the results and my only wish is that I had done it sooner! You can bet when it’s time for a refresher there is no doubt where I will go!

Dr. Lee is Amazing! I’m seven weeks out from a deep plane lower face and neck lift and couldn’t be happier! I’m 67 and and hated my jowels but never thought I would actually have a facelift. Too afraid of looking weird, fake or not like myself. . Just have had regular Botox and no fillers as I didn’t like that look. I’m from out of town and met Dr. Lee when I went to help out a good friend who had this done a few days after her surgery. On a fluke I had a consultation with him and he was very personable and didn’t try to push other procedures but addressed my concerns. Almost a year later I decided to bite the bullet and had it done. His staff was wonderful and was easy to communicate with, especially as I would be coming from out of town and coordinated with my dr to get the necessary lab work and forms needed etc. The surgery went great and I stayed at my friend’s home. I took pain meds the first night only and really only felt tightness and some discomfort, not any pain. I had some very minor light bruising along my jawline along with minor swelling. After a week I got my sutures removed and was able to go for short walk outside and at the second week I was able to blow dry my hair and went out to dinner! My scars are almost all gone at this point. I had a trip to Mexico planned four weeks after, which I had booked before I decided to have the procedure done, and he said I would be fine by then and he was right! Just had to stay out of the sun of course. I’ve only received compliments from friends that knew I had it, otherwise no one can even tell, except when I show them my before photos. Dr. Lee and his staff were fantastic and I highly recommend him if you want a natural look. My only regret is I didn’t do it sooner!

Dr.Lee came highly recommended from several of my friends. I am beyond a baby when it comes to any type of procedure and Dr. Lee made me feel comfortable and cared for. From his incredible staff to those who assisted in surgery it was all easier than I thought it would be.. I am 6 weeks out and very happy with my results..I look refreshed, not pulled. I know you know what I mean. My only complaint is I should have done it sooner.

Dr. Lee performed a blephroplasty and face/neck lift on me in August. He and his staff are outstanding - Ashley, Cathy, Tabitha, Vanessa, as well as the remarkable nurse anesthetist. I would want each of them on my team, too! I had the surgery three months ago at the age of 60 and, gee, I'm pleased when I see myself in the mirror now. It's a surgery I put off for 10 years because I was scared of the unknown, didn't want to have regrets, and hadn't yet heard about Faceology MD. I'm delighted with the results of my procedures and am confident giving Faceology MD a five-star review.

62-year-old female, Faceology Face and Neck Lift, 2 months post-op. In his book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell explains that achieving world-class expertise in any field requires roughly 10,000 hours of focused practice. Dr. Raymond Lee has far exceeded that benchmark—devoting his career to mastering the art and science of facial plastic surgery. With his focus exclusively on the face, Dr. Lee has become one of the most trusted and skilled surgeons in his field, particularly renowned for his deep-plane facelifts (the Faceology lift). After a disappointing experience 16 years ago with a lower eyelid procedure, I spent months researching to find the right surgeon for my face and neck lift. I realized my previous surgery went wrong because I chose a general cosmetic surgeon who worked on both the body and face. This time, I wanted an expert whose sole focus was facial rejuvenation—someone with those “10,000 hours” of specialized experience, along with a practical, reasonable approach. That search led me to Dr. Lee. With an average of 5 stars on RealSelf, 4.8 stars on Google, and recognition as “Best Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon” by the Orange County Register, Dr. Lee quickly rose to the top of my list. From my first consultation, I knew I had found the right doctor. Dr. Lee took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and was refreshingly honest about what results I could expect. He never tried to upsell additional procedures—in fact, he talked me out of a lip lift I thought I needed (and he was absolutely right). On surgery day, Dr. Lee’s entire team—nurses, anesthesiologist, and staff—were warm, attentive, and reassuring. The procedure went smoothly under simple “twilight” sedation, and to my surprise, I experienced no pain and recovered much faster than I imagined. But the true proof is in the results. My face and neck lift look beautifully natural—I appear younger and refreshed, not pulled or overdone. Friends tell me I look healthier and more vibrant, but can’t quite pinpoint why. I’m so grateful to Dr. Lee for restoring not only my appearance but also my confidence and energy. I highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone looking to refresh and rejuvenate their look. You will not regret it!

The entire process has been so wonderful, and believe me when I say I was a nervous nelly! From Cathy the surgery coordinator to the nurses, and of course the doctors (Dr Lee and anesthesiologist Janese) I cannot express how seemless they make this procedure. I’m so thrilled with my result, and I would do it again without hesitation. The key is to find a surgeon that an expert in what you’re wanting and let him/her do what they do best!!! I wish this entire office much success and I will do all I can to support them!!! Thank you Dr.Lee and staff!!!!! You all ROCK!!

Words cannot express how I feel about Dr.Lee, his entire staff and of course my incredible outcome!!! I did my homework in making sure he was the one for me! On the top of my list was first and foremost a talented doctor with a long history of lower face lifts that gave natural results! His reviews speak the truth of how talented he truly is! I had a lower face and Neck lift, with a CO2 laser treatment. I am now 13 days from my surgery and I look amazing!!! I can hardly see my stitches! He is a true artist! I look natural but younger in a natural way not a pulled one! I had no pain and very little swelling. I was obviously nervous prior to doing it and questioned myself why at 69 would I do this? The answer was that I wanted it for myself in going forward for the next decade and seeing myself corrected and matching how I felt inside! I am so happy that I did it and am so blessed that I found Dr. Lee. Thank you, Dr. Lee for giving me everything I was looking for and making this an incredibly easy but most of all a rewarding experience for myself!

Faceology changed my skin! If it weren't for their medical esthetician Jordyn I don't know what I would have done. I've always struggled with adult cystic acne and had tried multiple different facial places in hopes they would be able to help me but they didn't. Jordyn not only drastically helped my skin, but she educated me on what medical grade skin care I should be using for my skin type and was always checking in on me for my progress as she put me on a ZO protocol to prepare me for my first chemical peel. My skin is the clearest it's ever been, I even rock the bare face look which I would have never thought was possible years ago. Jordyn, my skin and I thank you so much. I will never go a day without my ZO products and I look forward to facial treatments with her.

Faceology is my go-to for both Botox and skincare. I can't recommend them enough! The entire staff is knowledgeable, kind, and always makes me feel welcome. The space is beautifully decorated and has such a calming vibe. Tabitha, the patient care coordinator, explained everything I needed to know about Botox and made the whole experience feel seamless. The rest of the team is just as wonderful and attentive. I also started using their skincare line and have seen incredible results. The Vitamin C serum and dark spot corrector completely transformed my skin. Faceology is truly the best!

I had such a wonderful experience at Faceology in Newport Beach! From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. Tabitha, the consultant who assisted me, was absolutely amazing—so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind. She made the entire process feel seamless and comfortable. Dr. Lee is truly exceptional. His expertise and experience in plastic surgery are evident, and I felt completely at ease in his care. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions thoroughly. I never felt rushed or pressured—just fully supported. The office is beautiful and spotless, and the team creates an environment where you feel respected, informed, and cared for every step of the way. I’m so grateful I found Dr. Lee and his team. I highly recommend Faceology to anyone considering plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments—you will be in excellent hands!

Dr. Lee and his team held my hand every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with my results (lower face/neck lift). I finally feel like I look how I was always supposed to look. Thank you Dr. Lee and team!

If you want absolutely natural results that give your face and neck a renewed look, then Dr. Lee at Faceology is the perfect plastic surgeon for you. He is simply the best in making the face and neck look younger. When my friends see me, especially those who have not seen me for a couple of months, they all say, "You look amazing!" But my friends do not know (and more importantly cannot tell) that I had a face and neck lift because the work is so natural. My husband and I are extremely pleased with the natural results of the face and neck lift achieved by the very skilled and experienced Dr. Lee. He is a true perfectionist in hiding the suture lines. We selected Dr. Lee to perform the procedures because he only does faces and has done over 5,000+ face lifts. Dr. Lee gives you complete attention during your consultation and only recommends procedures that will enhance your beauty. He focuses on the key areas to improve the appearance of your face and neck. He has a very personable and comforting style when talking with you. We highly recommend Dr. Lee for a face and neck lift or any other face procedure. In addition, Tabitha, Cathy, Kayla, Michelle, Nicole, Jenise, and every one of the Faceology team members provide world class customer service, which reflects Dr. Lee's professional and positive leadership. You will be extremely happy with your face and neck results from Dr. Lee, and the care that you receive from the team.

Exceeded All Expectations - a more youthful refreshed version of myself. It takes a lot to trust your face to someone else’s hands. You do your homework about credentials and read reviews, but it is still a leap of faith when you’re talking about your face. When I first consulted with Dr. Lee, I was impressed by his personable professionalism.. He listened to me, clearly understanding that I didn’t want to look like somebody else, just a more youthful refreshed version of myself. After the first consult, there was never any pressure from him or his office staff to proceed, but when I was finally ready they were fantastic with scheduling and communicating everything I needed to know. I had a lower facelift/neck lift, upper eyelids and full face CO2. I never experienced one minute of pain following my procedures, just a little annoying discomfort the first night because of the significant bandage and the fact that I wasn’t used to sleeping with my head elevated I spent my first 2 nights in an after-care retreat because neither my husband nor I felt comfortable for the initial care (which includes drains). This was a personal choice I felt I needed. After the first night I didn’t need pain meds except Tylenol, because there was literally no pain. I followed the pre-op and post-op instructions exactly as given (stopping supplements and alcohol, starting pre-surgery medications) and I experienced no bruising at all. I understand every person will have their own individual experience, but compliance with every detail of the instructions sets you up for the best possible recovery. Again, I understand everybody will have their own individual experience, but one week post surgery, all of my sutures were removed, incisions are already on their way to becoming invisible “scars“ and 65 years of sun damage skin had already sloughed off, revealing beautiful babysoft skin that will only improve over the next few months as the real benefits of the laser kick in. 10 days after the procedures I was able to venture out to lunch and run errands, friends saying I looked better than ever and strangers never knowing just how recently I had facelift surgery. I wish there was a way to shorten this review, but it was important to me to read details before trusting my face to anyone. You can trust Dr. Lee. He is at the top of his field and I am very grateful to have found him and the staff at Faceology.

Dr. Lee recently performed CO2 laser on my face, neck, and chest. The procedure was very tolerable with an anti-anxiety medication, as well as a pain medication, taken prior to the procedure. The recovery process took about 1 week, but after that my skin was glowing and had a more even complexion. Dr. Lee did a fantastic job and I'm very happy with my results! His entire office staff was also amazing and very welcoming!

SOO Aahhhmmmaaaazzzing!!! Best Results Ever!!! Wow! Where to start I am SO unbelievably happy with my results. Dr Lee is the real deal and the results are INCREDIBLY natural. NO one would know I had a facelift and he easily turned back the clock 20 years. I could literally write a book he is so great. If you are seriously considering a procedure I would absolutely encourage you to see Dr Lee and book it!!! Ahhhmmmaaaazzzzing results and experience all around. No bruising and barely any swelling-easy peasy!!

Dr. Lee's work is second to none. I am about five weeks out from my procedure and the amount of compliments I've received has been overwhelming. I had two procedures: CO2 and Faceology Facelift and I am 47 years old. My review is going to cover a lot of aspects of the procedure that other reviewers failed to mention (it isn't easy - but it isn't hard or painful either - but it is annoying). I think it's important for people to know what they might face, to make the coping that much easier. Either way, I 100% would do this again in a heartbeat. So, first off - I met Dr.Lee online years prior to my procedure, as I was noticing laxity in my skin (jowls and a turkey neck), but he was conservative and didn't recommend a facelift at that time. I opted not to do other procedures with him as he is located pretty far from where I live. Instead I tried Morpheus at another skincare place in Woodland Hills and it pretty much destroyed my skin - making it exponentially more saggy - and aged me dramatically. So, this year, 2024, I called Dr. Lee and set up an appt. for both C02 laser and a Faceology Facelift. My in-person consult wasn't as long and detailed as others described. In fact, I saw Dr. Lee for less than 5 minutes. He was quick, but I had done a ton of research so wasn't particularly phased. I spent more time with one of the staff (but she did give some misinformation - which was later corrected by the nurse aesthetician). Basically you are NOT TO EAT AT ALL before the procedure, but in the paperwork I received she told me to have a banana or something to prevent nausea. Also, you are prescribed a Valium (which is to aid in sleeping) but my pharmacist told me not to take that in addition to the painkillers for fear of there being interaction - so just be cautious (it's not anything serious, but she strongly advised me only to take the valium if I was completely off the pain meds - I never needed to take the valium). The night before the procedure the nurse anesthetist called. She was lovely and very information and did not rush through any questions. Morning of - I arrive. I meet the nurse anesthetist in person (she is great) and another nurse was also great (she was going to be assisting with the surgery). I saw Dr. Lee very briefly as he drew on my skin areas where the cuts would be made and showed me how it would look post surgery (by pulling back my skin). He was out within a few minutes and they were taking me into surgery. The last thing I remember was laying down on a heated surgical bed and hearing some music playing that the nurses were laughing about and then - I was waking up and getting into a wheelchair to go home. The first night was insanely uncomfortable and nobody talks about this. It isn't painful at all...and honestly, with the exception of the bandage and drains, I would have had no discomfort. However, the bandage is so tight and SO uncomfortable, I didn't sleep one wink. The drains make it hard to put your head on the pillow when sleeping upright (and you can't sleep on your side). By the morning I was trying to pull the bandage off (don't do this) because it is so restricting and it starts getting annoying. Again, it is NOT painful, it's just super irritating (you'll see - but you will survive it). When I went in to get the drains removed, Cathy was phenomenal. She knew I was about to faint (I faint easily) and she immediately prevented it with making me smell alcohol pads and giving me apple juice). She cut the bandage off and removed the drains andit was smooth sailing!!!! After that, the recovery was easy - and only annoying because of having to restrict my movement. I like to exercise and not being able to do that is SUPER annoying. For about 3-4 days after you can't open your mouth easily so buy lots of softer foods (yogurt, soups, oatmeal, etc.). By the first week your neck will look very swollen and your face will start looking more like you. As far as the C02, I was glowing after a week and no pain at all with that - not even heat really (which apparently only last a few hrs after the procedure....I was probably still comfortable from the anesthesia to notice). I am still swollen at 5 weeks, but I can see a big difference. Dr. Lee is fantastic and I can't wait to see the improvement as time goes on.

This is Your Guy!!! Love my Results !! Dr Lee is a ROCKSTAR !!! I am currently 5 weeks out having undergone a lower face, neck lift with platysmaplasty. Words alone cannot adequately express my gratitude. I knew he was an exceptional surgeon had my eye on his work for many, many years - 8 to be exact. Consulting with him finally somewhere around 2020 and decided to finally undergo last month. I had no doubt that I was going to be happy but Dr Lee has exceeded my expectatations. I look 15 plus years younger (some say 20 ! ) It was such an easy journey with no bruising, minimal swelling. I was out at a social function a week later. My only regret is that I did not do this sooner. Thank you Dr Lee for your gift of facial artistry & skilled hands. I am forever grateful !!

You Are in Good Hands with Dr. Lee A picture is worth a 1000 words. After rapid weight loss due to a knee replacement and pushing 60 I had a lower facelift/neck lift in May with Dr. Lee and I love the results. I returned to work 8 days post op and my scars were hard to find 3 weeks later as the picture shows. Both photos are taken in my car with natural light. The procedure was painless with IV sedation and I only experienced mild discomfort the following morning until the surgical compression wrap was removed. I had no bruising and only mild swelling. I highly recommend Dr. Lee for any facial procedure as he is double board certified and his results are amazing. Also, his bedside manner is pleasant and relaxed.

I came to Faceology for an earlobe repair with Dr. Ghazizadeh and I couldn't be happier! Teenage me was not smart and decided to stretch my earlobes to a gaping 8mm hole and years and years later, they never closed up. I basically couldn't wear earrings for 20 years... I couldn't even wear earrings on my wedding day. Finally, I came to a point in my life where I was able to spend money on procedures so getting my earlobes back to normal was my first priority. Not only did Dr. G do an amazing job at closing the hole, she also re-pierced it after it healed. I am so happy with how it turned out and I'm so excited that I can wear cute earrings now!! Thank you so much :)

Undergoing a face/neck lift and chin implant with Dr. Lee surpassed all my expectations. The entire team, notably Tabitha, Dr. Lee's Patient Coordinator, provided exceptional kindness and invaluable emotional support throughout the process and afterward. The anesthesiologist was amazing too. She spent a very long time on the phone with me the night before my surgery going over the basics of anesthesia and what to expect. Cathy, the nurse, was also fantastic. I am very squeamish but she helped get me through the drain removal without incident. Dr. Lee has a confidence that is reassuring yet not overpowering. His expertise in delivering natural-looking results truly sets him apart. His skill and precision were evident through the entire process. Having a surgeon I completely trusted was a priceless benefit of selecting Dr. Lee. This was particularly important as I came to learn that with a chin implant, the size and style of the implant is best selected during the procedure itself. When I woke up from the anesthesia the nurses were gushing about how great the chin implant looked. I got to see what an incredible improvement it was 24 hours later when the bandages came off. The results have absolutely exceeded my expectations. The perfectly sized chin implant achieved a balanced and natural outcome, while the face and neck lift turned back the clock significantly. The newfound confidence, particularly in my profile, is something I never thought possible, and I am genuinely thrilled with the refreshed appearance. I am forever grateful to Dr. Lee and his team for their exceptional skill, professionalism, and the outstanding results they deliver.

When I woke up from the anesthesia the nurses were gushing about how great the chin implant looked. I got to see what an incredible improvement it made 24 hours later when the bandages came off. Post-surgery, I experienced minimal bruising and less swelling than anticipated. The recovery period was manageable. I’m definitely not the stoic type when it comes to pain or even mild discomfort. Tylenol did the trick for me and ice packs helped a lot when I got to the scabbing/itching phase of healing. The nerve regeneration process (zaps and tingles) was pretty unpleasant but only lasted about a week. I was pretty tired for about 3 to 4 weeks after, often needing a nap mid day. I was not up for exercising until about a month out. This is a little longer than most people report but pretty on brand for me. Now, at 6 weeks post-op, I feel nearly back to normal, though some residual numbness lingers around my hairline and under my chin and jaw. The incision lines are disappearing before my eyes with the help of the scar cream Dr. Lee provided. Before surgery, I was not quiet about planning these procedures and many people in my life had strongly-held negative beliefs about plastic surgery, facelifts in particular. Every single one of them has had a change of heart in light of my results. The downside of telling virtually everyone I know that I was having this surgery is there wasn’t really anyone who I could get a blind reaction from. But then, two days ago, I was walking my dogs and I passed a neighbor a couple of blocks away who my husband and I chat with sometimes. She recognized my dogs but looked a bit surprised and asked me “oh, are you the daughter?” This will probably remain the best unintended compliment of my lifetime. The results have absolutely exceeded my expectations. The perfectly sized chin implant achieved a balanced and natural outcome, while the face and neck lift turned back the clock significantly. The newfound confidence, particularly in my profile, is something I never thought possible, and I am genuinely thrilled with the refreshed appearance. I am forever grateful to Dr. Lee and his team for their exceptional skill, professionalism, and the outstanding results they deliver. Note: I was so uncomfortable with my appearance before this surgery that very few photographs of me exist, so the only “before” I have to post here is from a print out from Dr. Lee’s office. As a result of this surgery, I am no longer ashamed to have my photograph taken.

I can not even see the scars and stitches in magnifying mirror OK, I started searching for A good plastic surgeon for lower face lift 5 years ago, I interviewed the most famous surgeons in Beverly hills and couldn't trust any of them, either the time of surgery was too long or the scars were to noticeable or the results were not good, them I found Dr Lee and in the first visit I knew he was the one and he proved it. First of all he is the most caring and kindest Dr I ever seen with A great manner and unbelievable skills, his team are truly amazing, he did my lower face lift and there was no pain what so ever, I just took two Tylenols the first night and that was it, the operation took 2.5 hours all together because of his fantastic skills, all other surgeons told me it will take 4.5 hours and they wanted to put me under general anesthesia, his hands are just magic, after A week I can not even see the scars and stitches in magnifying mirror, I do not know how this is possible, I'm truly so satisfied with his great work, no need to look any further, you are in good hands with Dr Lee.

I looked 15 years younger and my recovery was fast and painless. I had zero tell-tale scars and people kept telling me how great I looked without realizing that I'd had any kind of surgery. I recently had the same procedure done once again by Dr. Lee in March of 2023. And, just as before, the results were perfect with minimal recovery time. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone seeking top quality work and experience. He is truly the best.

Faceology Patient's Facelift Diary Day 1 I've always knew that some day, probably in my fifties, I will get a facelift. As I approached my 52nd birthday last year, I felt that the time has come to look for the surgeon. I've read a lot about types of facelifts and techniques, and originally I was shopping for a deep plane facelift as those tend to look the most natural and give the most dramatic results. I had consultations with 2 surgeons, and I'm sure they are great, but it just didn't click for me. They both tried to upsell and I felt like not all my questions have been answered in detail. Both were Zoom consultations, not in person. I just wasn't sure at that point, so I kept searching. I found Dr. Lee's office and I looked at the pictures and videos of his patients, and even though those weren't deep plane facelifts the results looked great, matched my esthetics and shown the kind of improvement I was looking for. I scheduled a consultation and prepared my questions. I had my consultation in May of 2022. Dr. Lee was amazing right from the start. He wasn't rushing me. He answered my questions in detail. He showed me how incisions will look, and I was picky about that. I didn't want an incision in front of the ear, and I wanted the incisions behind my ear to be well hidden as I like to wear my hair up. I also wanted a surgeon comfortable enough to offer a surgery under local anesthesia. Dr Lee didn't try to upsell. He asked me to lift my hair, looked at my face from all different angles. He answered with honesty when I asked about possibly doing also an endoscopic brow lift that my forehead is too high, and I won't be pleased with the result. He also said I don't need ant neck work yet and a mini facelift will be sufficient. I felt confident that I found the right surgeon for me. I scheduled a mini facelift with Dr Lee for March 16 of 2023. Schedule early, he is booked for many months ahead. I flew with my partner from Seattle on March 14th. On the 15th I had my pre-op consultation and the surgery was on March 16th as planned. I was kinda in twilight zone for the whole thing, especially the left side which he operated on first. I had local anesthesia, vallum and started my antibiotic a day before. After dr. Lee stitched me up I was instructed about suture and drains care, and wheeled to the car with the help of nurse and my partner. I dozed off once we arrived at the hotel. That night was the hardest night for me. I only took Tylenol for pain as I'm sensitive to medications, but it was still painful and hard to sleep sitting, so I only took short naps. Updated on 31 Mar 2023: My post surgery checkup and drain removal was scheduled for the next morning, and I couldn't wait as drains felt heavy and uncomfortable. However, Dr Lee felt like they should stay in one more day. I got a little more sleep the following night but still felt pain behind my ears and in neck where the drains were running. On Saturday morning, less than 48h after my surgery I went to the clinic to finally remove the drains. It is normally closed on Saturday but the nurse, Cathy, came in just for me, because it was better for me to keep those drains in one more day. That's how you know, you are in good hands. After the drains were removed I felt way more comfortable. I was still very swollen and had to wear a compression garment and a lot of goopy antibacterial ointment over the incisions but I threw a scarf around my head and went for a short walk with my boyfriend. It was fun and felt great after being stuck in a hotel room for 3 days. I couldn't open my mouth much at that point, soft foods only. My cheeks felt hard, my lower face stretched. Bruising and lumps on the left side. But less pain at this point. Updated on 2 Apr 2023: Swelling at its peak but less pain. I was finally able to wash my hair and that felt great. I noticed hair coming out near the stitch line though. Hopefully it grows back soon. I still stayed at the hotel a lot, but by day 5 I was going down for breakfast and out for short walks. I still could barely open my mouth. I was eating mostly soft foods, like mashed banana, papaya, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, protein shakes and some soup. I had a toast and on day 6. I started feeling some tingling in my cheeks at night but other than that, no feeling in the cut part of my face. I had some bruising and lumps on the left cheek. My right cheek looked great, no bruising at all. No pain except burning and redness behind my ears. I talked about it to the doctor when I went to remove the sutures and he said it's normal and no cause for concern. I was instructed to use diluted hydrogen peroxide to clean the sutures and then antibacterial ointment. I've been doing that since day 1. Also, on day 6 I finished my round of oral antibiotic. Updated on 3 Apr 2023: One week after the procedure I returned for a check up. Permanent sutures were removed. All sutures behind my ears were dissolvable. They started coming out the second week after the surgery. Dr. Lee examined the incisions and everything looked okay. We actually went out with my boyfriend that evening. Minimal makeup, I wore my hair down and had a great time. On day 8 we were flying back home. The pics attached were taken in a hotel just before heading out for the airport. It was actually my favorite day. A little swelling gave my face some more fullness than it normally has. I might consider some filler to recreate that look, after I fully heal. Although still numb, I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. Updated on 11 Apr 2023: I still have some swelling and numbness. A lot of tingling on the sides of the face. I'm also very uncomfortable with cold wind blowing on my face. Swelling seems to move down and is most prominent around the jaw line. I experienced some hair loss near the incision lines but I read it can happen and is usually temporary. The skin behind my ears is red and burning, feels probably worse than it looks. My earlobes are numb and elongated but it's probably just the swelling. We'll see. I feel good in general and I'm still very happy with the results and the healing process. Can eat pretty much any food now. Yay!

His work is 10/10 - very subtle and natural results I had a very good experience with Dr. Lee. His work is 10/10, very subtle and natural results, and he has a great eye for beauty. I will say that he has requirements above and beyond what most other offices need (blood testing, cardio x-ray, covid testing...still!), and this will add hundreds to your cost, and lots of time and energy spent tracking down providers and sitting in crowded urgent cares. Still, it's worth it. All of his staff is excellent and very understanding, and the front desk will do their best to accommodate you, listen to you, help you, etc.

Super Amazing NATURAL Results I Had Hoped For! I am going to add to the big roar of applause for Dr. Lee. I am in my early fifties, and I was sad about my neck and jowls, but I was afraid of surgery. I was afraid of not looking like myself and having to adjust to a new face. I was so afraid that I researched the crap out of doctors and procedures. Ultimately, I chose Dr. Lee’s skillful hand and artistry: the Faceology Lift. I am so over the moon with the results. He did an incredible job of making me look vibrant without looking like I had surgery. So much so, that my step daughter was away for two weeks and did not question if I had surgery. She commented that I was looking great lately, and thought maybe I was working out and lost weight! He rewound time ten years for me! Overall the procedure was far easier than I thought. The staff were also all wonderful AND very calming and reassuring. They know they’re working with the best! I am so grateful for Dr. Lee’s incredible abilities. He is an artist! Super amazing NATURAL results I had hoped for! What to expect: First two days were the only strange days. No pain but plan to stick with smushy foods the first week (mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, soups, etc). I was comfortable. I took no pain meds the entire time of recovery, just valium to sleep awkwardly elevated. The first week is a little tricky with showering properly, doing the cold compresses and then switching to warm, doing the ointments. You need the time to get in the routine, and rest so you can heal. Two weeks out I was hanging with people and back in life. I followed everything according to the directions they provided and now I am one month out from surgery. Expect to still hide your scars for a couple months, obscured by hair and very subtle, expect to be numb around the area of surgery (cheeks/ears) for a few months (you get use to it)––and I get more feeling back with each week. Overall I look exactly like myself but more vibrant. My results definitely gave me a boost to head into my fifties with a little extra confidence! That is a true gift —thank you Dr. Lee!

Office review - I look so much slimmer and younger I had a faceology lift with Dr Lee and it was the best decision I have ever made. I look so much slimmer and younger and I am only 2 months post op. He is so nice, answers every question in detail and doesn’t rush. I had a few consultations before I chose Dr Lee and they all seem in a hurry and would even laugh at my questions. The entire staff is amazing. I would 100% recommend Dr Lee and his staff.

My results have improved my quality of life immeasurably I am writing this review 9 weeks out from my lower facelift with Dr. Lee. As a younger patient getting this procedure, I thought it was important to share my experience. In my research I found it rare to hear from people who would typically be told not to consider a facelift and in what cases it might be a good choice. I am 35 and since high school have always felt a bit bottom heavy in the face. I didn’t feel like I looked aged or unattractive necessarily, but I wanted a more lifted and less cheeky look. I was a great candidate for buccal fat removal at 29 with another doctor and while it was a definite improvement, it still wasn’t quite as dramatic as what I was hoping for. At the time I was told I was too young to consider a facelift. 6 years later I still had prominent cheeks that were now moving into early jowl territory. I tried filler a few times, and while I liked it, I felt like it made me looked a bit altered and I just wanted to look like the most attractive and natural version of myself. Through a ton of obsessive research I found Dr. Lee. His double board certifications and glowing reviews convinced me to book a consultation to see what his recommendations might be. I was so impressed with the entire experience. I had met with a few other surgeons but after leaving Dr. Lee's office I had that good gut feeling. I felt like he really listened and understood what I was going for. He is so kind and down to earth, and confident in the way that comes from passion and experience. The way he speaks about what he does shows a real love for it. I felt so comfortable with him and his responses reflected everything I was looking for in a surgeon. After he explained all my options, including non invasive, I decided on the surgical option of the faceology mini lift. The term mini varies from office to office, but I was told they call it a mini lift here because I did not need the full neck lift that is part of the faceology lift. This was a lower facelift where he did trim the smas (yay!), not a skin only lift. I had anxiety going in but the whole office was so wonderful. I felt incredibly well looked after by the entire team, it made such a huge difference in my experience that everyone was so sweet and caring. I wish I could remember everyone’s names from surgery day ( I was so out of it), but every single person was absolutely wonderful. The recovery was a breeze and I just slept most of the time. I would also like to note that unbelievably I had absolutely no bruising. There was a slight yellowing about a week later but at no point was there any black or blue. My face looked pristine the day after surgery, just a bit swollen. Dr. Lee has a very gentle touch and his stitches are so tiny and perfect! Two nurses in my family stopped by to see me 3 days later and they were extremely impressed with his detailed “finishing”. Follow the instructions they give you, take your meds, rest, and you will be fine! At my one week follow up I got my sutures removed and was able to go out to breakfast after the appoinment. I would have this procedure again with Dr. Lee in a second. At 9 weeks out from surgery I’m back to all my normal activities and my scars are improving week by week. I’m still getting creative with my hair styling at this stage but nothing is noticeable unless you know what you’re looking for. Everything is beautifully hidden in my hair and ears. My tragus is in tact, my earlobes are normal and beautiful, and my sideburns are very much still there! My greatest fear was having a weird sideburn or hairline and Dr. Lee took the time before surgery to show me exactly what was going to happen and how much would change (down to how many folicles!) As a type A personality I was deeply appreciative of his patience and willingness to be so specific with me. My results have improved my quality of life immeasurably. I think there’s a stigma around someone in their 30’s having this procedure, but I also beleive that may be due to the assumption that a facelift only addresses age related concerns. I think for the right candidate a facelift can improve your appearance at an earlier age as well. My confidence has gotten a huge boost and Dr Lee absolutely delivered what he promised, above and beyond. I look like a more attractive version of myself and I don’t think anyone would be able to tell exactly why. I feel like at 35 I finally have the face I wished for in college. I didn’t want to wait to fix something I’d always been insecure about because I was “too young for a facelift”. Thank you Dr Lee for hearing me out and for helping me. Thank you also for your integrity in offering me less invasive options as well and sharing the pros and cons of everything. I’m so happy I chose the surgery but I will be back for Profound! Updated on 28 Mar 2023: Writing to report that I'm at about 4.5 months now and I feel like I'm about 80% at having full feeling back in my face. Behind my ears feels completely normal and my skin has all the feeling back. The deeper layers still just have a very slight tingle. I thought I'd post in case anyone was wondering what to expect! Feeling will come back with a bit of time and the numbness hasn't been bad at all. Updated on 24 Aug 2023: Adding an update at 9 months post op. I tried to take photos of my scars in harsh daylight so everything is clear since that's what I wanted to see when I was considering this prodecure. If my ear looks warped from behind its because I'm pushing it to show the scar back there more clearly. Behind the ear scars are still slightly pink but they blend in pretty well with my ear color at this point. The scars in front are fully white. You can slightly see them in very bright lighting but you have to look closely. I have full feeling back in my face at this stage, no numbness and everything feels normal. Knowing what I know now I would have been much less nervous going in. I love my lower face. 10/10 worth it.

I could not be happier! For years I had been been upset by what I saw in the mirror. Loose skin around my jawline and neck making me look much older then I am. I am an athlete and take good care of myself but this was something I could not fix with diet and exercise. I tried many non-surgical remedies, none yielded any noticeable results. I was afraid of surgery, the recovery and down time, the cost, looking unnatural, etc. I was embarrassed at the thought of being so vein as to want a facelift, worried if people would know and what they would think. But there was a point where I decided it's what I needed to do and started saving my money. Then I started researching Drs. I had a couple consultations before meeting Dr. Lee. I felt so confident in him and his staff, I booked the appointment that day. A side note on the staff, they make you feel so comfortable from beginning to end. They are friendly and professional, and I never once felt worried or embarrassed about any of it. Now I am 6 weeks post op and I am so happy with what I see in the mirror, I could not have asked for more. While it was a huge change for me, the results are somehow subtle enough to others that they think I just look refreshed from my vacation. I routinely get the compliment, "you look great!" and with confidence and a big smile I say, "thank you". It's a wonderful feeling. I am not typically one to write reviews. But this was such a big decision for me I hope this helps others. I can tell you, if you are considering a facelift as I was, you won't be disappointed here. It's truly worth it, and Dr. Lee and his staff will take very good care of you.

Words cannot describe the feeling of having my years-ago face back, or feeling happy when I look in the mirror, or getting smiles from men again. I feel younger, but best of all I feel seen. Sorry Dr. Lee, I know this review is belated, but for once, this writer was speechless. Dr. Lee is both calm and friendly and immensely talented at what he does. The operating room is his happy place, and he is always learning and refining his techniques. His staff feel like friends. They truly care. Tabitha gently corrected me, during my intake, when I used less-than-positive adjectives about my appearance, Kelly was super-competent and the most bubbly, effervescent person I'd ever met, and Dana was so supportive and happy for me when I got my results. At first, I thought my results were so great, that they had to have been the exception (exceptional), but no. When I looked back at his After photos, he delivers this amazing result EVERY SINGLE TIME. He was the only surgeon I interviewed, because I'd done my homework, and seen his results with my own eyes. My sister and best friend both want to have this done, even though they were definitely not onboard with my choice, before surgery. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Lee and friends for giving me so much more than I even hoped.

I Just had a mini facelift done from Dr. Raymond Lee a month ago and I am thankful and very grateful to Dr. Lee and his staff for doing such a great job on my face. My daughter cannot get over the fact that I have no bruises on my face on the first day she saw me! All of my families and friends said I look amazing, 10 years younger, and very beautiful natural looking. As for myself, I am very happy with the result and now have more confidence with my appearance, not avoiding taking pictures anymore:). I do recommend Dr. Lee to all the people I know and I would tell them to trust Dr. Lee when it comes to your face.

Everything went smoothly - wish I did this a long time ago I've been self conscious of my chin for most of my entire life. I'm 37 now. I found Dr. Lee online with reviews including on this RealSelf website. I made an appointment with him for a consultation and I'm so glad I did. He walked me through everything that could be done to address my wishes/concerns. I was thoroughly satisfied with the initial consult. I had a chin augmentation/implant procedure several months later (he was booked out!) and it was well worth the wait. Everything went smoothly and it was a very comfortable experience. I wish I had done this a long time ago! Highly recommend Dr. Lee for any cosmetic procedure, I'm so pleased with everything.

Six years later I get frequent compliments on my skin I had my first surgeries with Dr. Lee in 2016. I had the Faceology Lift and Upper Blepharoplasty. Six years later I get frequent compliments on my skin. Although I had surgery I also only use Dr. Lee's products which have helped my skin immensely. Recently I visited Dr. Lee to discuss future options. We worked together on a short term and long term plan to keep my skin vibrant and healthy. I appreciate Dr. Lee's honesty and expertise in his field. I'm forever a FACEOLOGY client for all of my skin rejuvenation thanks to Dr. Lee and his amazing staff.

12 weeks out from my procedure and my scars are nearly invisible Words fail to describe my absolute delight and complete satisfaction with the lower face and neck Faceology lift that Dr. Lee performed for me at the end of May. I’m now 12 weeks out from my procedure and my scars are nearly invisible. I wear my hair VERY short and was able to cut it back to its usual style last week. Downtime was shockingly minimal. Pain was absolutely negligible. But let’s talk about results….I look like I stepped through a TIME MACHINE! Ten, maybe fifteen years GONE from my face. My concern at 49 was a premature wattle and jowls, and I’m one of those “I’ll never have a facelift” people, so I was concerned about not looking like myself or being pulled too tight. I shouldn’t have worried. Just like Dr. Lee promised, I look just like myself, but rested and with the clock reset for a second chance at appreciating my own natural beauty. (For the record, I’m a nice looking but devastatingly average person- not a beauty queen by any means). Dr. Lee’s talent and skill are complimented by his knowledgeable, professional, and KIND staff. This is NOT a snooty Newport Beach office for a certain kind of person. Dr. Lee and his staff are welcoming and helpful to all. Note: the “after” pic is from 5 weeks post surgery! I continue to look better and better each week!

Astounding - gave me the most natural results on my lower face Dr. Lee is a master of his craft and is an utmost professional. I am five weeks out from my mini facelift and neck lift and am still shocked at the results. I am 39 years old and my face took a toll after having two children back-to-back. My chin is small and I never had a great side profile, but my neck also started to sag after gaining 55 lbs twice in less than two years. Dr. Lee repaired the separated muscles under my neck and gave me the most natural results on my lower face. I can wear foundation and my hair pulled back without feeling like I look 50. The results are truly astounding and the scares are almost completely gone. My mother who was a nurse of 45 years was shocked at how small the stiches were. Everything was seamless, from the consultation to the follow-up appointments. Dr. Lee and his staff are friendly, accommodating, and punctual. I am so happy I found Dr. Lee and made the investment in my confidence.

Initially I called to request an in-person consultation, but the doctor is all booked up until 2 months later. This pretty much tells me that this doctor has such high demand & must do a great job. Instead of waiting for 2 months to get a price on chin lipo, I asked the scheduler for the approximate cost. She told me that it starts at $6500 for chin lipo. I was shocked, because even surgeons at Beverly Hills only charge $2500 for this procedure. Then I went on their Instagram, I saw a post from their account showing $4000 for chin lipo (a post from last year), so I msg them to confirm again for the actual price. They replied me back on Instagram (not sure if the response was really from the doctor himself, or someone who manages the account for him) and confirmed it is true the price went up to $6500 for chin lipo (not chin implant, chin lipo that is). I'm just happy that they're being upfront about it, which saved me a trip and the 2-month wait.

Restored my confidence and took 10 years off my face For most of my 30s, I felt very self conscious about my neck and jawline. I avoided wearing my hair up or any clothing that might draw attention to my neck. I tried threads, Morpheus 8, Evoke, and other non-invasive, costly treatments. I also tried losing weight to the point of being underweight, just to see if that was the problem. I'd only see a subtle improvement, at best. I felt like my neck and jawline did not reflect how old I felt, how well I took care of myself, or how old I really am. Rather than continue to spend money trying additional non-invasive treatments, I decided a lower facelift and neck lift was my best option. I wanted a doctor who specializes in lower facelifts and neck lifts and found Dr. Lee through RealSelf. I liked that all of his patients had a very natural outcome. My consultation was in August and I immediately booked my surgery for March. During my consultation, I really liked that Dr. Lee asked me to look in the mirror and point out to him what concerned me about my face. He did not jump in and point out my "flaws". We only discussed what I notice and dislike about my own face. (I only mention this because I have a few things I am very critical about now as a result of unsolicited comments from other doctors. I don't need anything else pointed out to me that I might not already be aware of!) And he did not push the surgery, he was very genuine in his assessment of my features. He even suggested that I might be satisfied with the results of profound RF given that I'm on the younger side for a facelift but I really just wanted to invest in the most dramatic and guaranteed outcome, with the understanding that there would be some scarring. The recovery was relatively easy. There was a little pain but nothing the pain killers didn't resolve. The only rough parts for me were the side effects of the IV sedation and pain killers (I tend to get very nauseous) and having to take it easy for several weeks. But overall, given that my face was literally sliced open, I was surprised that I felt pretty normal after a few days. It's been a month and I still have some numbness and tightness, as well as some stinging from my nerve endings re-awakening. But nothing unmanageable. My scars are still healing so l feel it's still too early to assess those, but on one side they are already barely noticeable. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I was hoping for my neck and jawline to reflect my actual age, but I feel like this surgery took 10 years off my face. I don't cringe when I catch my face in the mirror. I feel like wearing makeup and dressing up again. It's funny that my loved ones would tell me I was beautiful and didn't need the surgery whereas I felt such contempt for this part of my face that it tainted every day of my existence. While getting this surgery didn't fix all of my problems, now I have a pep in my step. I'm thrilled with my results. Dr. Lee is an artist. When I look at myself, nothing looks alien or unnatural, it's like seeing my best memory of myself looking back at me. I almost have to pinch myself. Updated on 4 May 2022: Here are before and after pictures! I’m thrilled with my results. Please let me know if I can answer any questions! Updated on 6 May 2022: You’ll be in wonderful hands if you choose Dr. Lee! Dr. Lee’s team is super caring and responsive. They call and email to make sure you remember appointments and complete all your pre-op requirements (labwork, ekg, Covid test), spend time with you during appointments to go over and questions you might have, etc. They are very reassuring on surgery day if you’re at all nervous. They are always happy to answer any questions you might have. And Dr. Lee is, of course, also very attentive and caring and takes the time to answer your questions and make sure you are well taken care of both before and after your surgery. Updated on 6 May 2022: The after photos were cropped during the upload so that it’s hard to see the difference so here’s me trying again.

I had a lower facelift and C02 laser almost 1 month ago by Dr. Lee and his team. I'm more than happy with the results and it was money well spent. My face looks less 'jowly', natural and refreshed. Dr. Lee and the entire team were so professional, knowledgable- just nice people. The recovery went very well and was much easier than that I thought it would be. The nurses will give you very detailed instructions for care of yourself before and after your procedure- so just follow all of those and you'll be great. I never experienced any actual pain and the hardest part is getting used to sleeping upright and keeping the healing gel (for the laser) on your face. I did buy a 'husband' pillow (like the kind you have in dorm rooms) and that helped a lot with the being upright. I would engage Dr. Lee's services again, without hesitation, if I need any other plastic surgery.

Have had nothing short of an amazing experience I have been a patient of Dr. Lee's for 5 years and have had nothing short of an amazing experience. Throughout the years I have had Botox, lasers, facials, facial surgery, and fillers. I have had such great experiences with Dr. Lee that I have even referred friends and family to the office. I have a cousin from Las Vegas and an aunt from Texas that travel to Newport Beach just to see him. He is THAT AMAZING. Dr. Lee is extremely knowledgeable and educated in his field and for that my family and I have the utmost respect and trust in him. After every procedure I have had, Dr. Lee has taken the time to reach out and check in on me. Dr. Lee and his office staff treat you like family and that is just one of the reasons my family and I love this office so much. I will NEVER go anywhere else! Thank you, Dr. Lee, and all of the Faceology staff for all you do.

I found Dr. Lee back in January of 2020. I split my ear lobe from my ear piercing ripping out. He did such an amazing job. You can't even tell I ever split my ear lobe. It actually looks better than before in my opinion with no scarring and not even any scar tissue. I was able to get my ear re-pierced shortly after and I can wear earrings again! It was also painless. Dr. Lee does such a good job and is a perfectionist when it comes to sutures. I am so happy with my results and I recommended him to everyone I know. He also has amazing bedside manner and always does what is best for his patients. His surgical tech DJ also makes sure you are comfortable during the procedure and is very knowledgeable as well. Amazing teamwork! Thank you so much Dr. Lee!

My results are subtle but I look noticeably more youthful Dr Lee is a great plastic surgeon. I am so incredibly pleased with the results of my facelift. My jaw line, neck and upper lids are extremely youthful and artistically perfected. My results are subtle but I look noticeably more youthful, which is so pleasing to me. The experience was relatively painless, the incisions are invisible. Thank Dr Lee and team

Initially, I was really nervous getting botox for the first time. It was the first time I would be injecting anything into my face. I have to say that after speaking with Dr. Lee and his staff I was at complete ease. I could not have chosen a better Doctor to work with and I'm beyond happy with my results. Thank you, Dr. Lee and your staff for the most amazing experience - because of you I'm smooth and wrinkle free!

Miracle Worker and Game Changer It has been a year and a half since my lift and laser experience with Dr. Lee. I feel renewed, refreshed, and revitalized. In fact, I felt that way immediately after the procedure. Downtime was minimal and was not an issue. Scars are currently non-existent. Dr. Lee's DekaDot laser is phenomenal and he is a master at using it. Wrinkles are gone, gone and gone. Unbelievable!! Dr. Lee turned back the clock a good 20 years for me, now 65, but feeling like I'm in my 40's. I am content and peaceful every day because I like the person I see in the mirror--no more heavy lines, jowls or sagging skin. My cheeks are higher. My neck looks great. I look younger and more attractive. Thanks Dr. Lee for helping me erase years of stress and move forward with my life in a myriad of ways. This doctor is truly gifted, caring, and skilled. If you are trying to make a choice between candidates, choose Dr. Lee. He has a ton of experience and 5 star reviews. Dr. Lee can help you improve your confidence and change your life in ways that may have never dreamed possible. He is a miracle worker and a game changer. Thanks again to Dr. Raymond Lee and his team. I am forever grateful.

I am very happy and satisfied with my results I had my procedure done in July, and I am very, very, happy and satisfied with my results! There was very little to no pain on the first day, the rest of my recovery was painless.I had very minimal bruising, my incision scars are not noticeable at all. His staff is very nice, knowledgeable, and professional. For anyone looking to have face lift, I highly recommend Dr.Raymond Lee, he is highly talented, and skilled. For anyone considering this procedure go to Dr. Lee, so that he can work his magic on you!
