Very skilled
"I had very unsuccessful breast augmentation performed by [another plastic surgeon] and was left with terrible muscle deformity after implants were removed. Took me 7 months to find a right doctor who knew exactly what was going on and how to fix it. I highly recommend Dr.Lee and have only the most positive comments about my experience with him. He is extremely skilled, talanted, honest, caring, very professional and a perfectionist in his job." - Anonymous, San Diego
A true artist
"Dr. Lee is a five star plastic surgeon. He preformed a breast reduction on me this past year and I could not be happier with my results. I feel so much better and can not stress how wonderful I look now. Sometimes I am amazed at how skilled he is at his craft. If you were to see my before and after photos you would see just how highly skilled Dr. Lee is at his work. He is perhaps one of the kindest Doctors I have ever met. Dr. Lee's bedside manner is exceptional. He makes you feel so valued and comfortable. I adore his office staff. They really care about your concerns and are extreamly helpful." - Anonymous, San Diego
Safe Hands
"After having breast implants and being explanted-my capsules were left in. My muscle was not allowed to heal to my chest wall and I could not even use my pectoral muscles for anything. I felt at a loss when trying to find a caring and intelligent doctor that really knew why my muscles were not working correctly. Then I came across Dr. Gilbert Lee (Changes plastic surgery). He was professional, intelligent and told me what was going on. I traveled a long distance to meet with him and he answered all of my questions. He did my surgery and fixed my distortion and allowed me to feel normal again. He did what was best for me. He made my scars look wonderful, they are healing beautifully. He is someone I would trust with anyone I love for ANY procedure in the plastic/cosmetic field. He is always helpful and answers questions without complant. I never felt in safer hands. He knew what was wrong and how to fix it, if I ever have another procedure, I will go to Dr. Lee." - Anonymous, La Jolla
Highly skilled surgeon
"Dr. Lee’s always kept my best interests in mind during my bi-lateral breast reconstruction. His consultative approach guided me in making educated decisions. He was informative, compassionate, and professional throughout the entire process. I knew I was in good hands when two of the surgical nurses who would be assisting Dr. Lee in the OR stated he was the best of the best. What started out as a necessary medical procedure turned into a life altering form of beauty." - Anonymous, San Diego
Dr. Lee is the best in his field-without a doubt
"After meeting with many plastic surgeons, online and in person-I gave up hope of ever finding a solution to a problem that one plastic surgeon gave me and yet another plastic surgeon after that didn't improve. After searching all over the United States for a surgeon who knew what was going on with my body and my breasts, I talked to top surgeons in the reconstructive and plastic surgeon field.I felt at a loss when trying to find a caring and intelligent doctor that really knew why my muscles were not working correctly. I searched everywhere and when I say everywhere, I MEAN EVERYWHERE. Then I came across Dr. Gilbert Lee (Changes plastic surgery).He explained to me what was going on with my body. After having breast implants and being explanted-my capsules were left in. My muscle was not allowed to heal to my chest wall and I could not even use my pectoral muscles for anything. They would slide up and out causing great pain, muscle weakness and distortion. I felt horrible and couldn't even use my chest muscle for anything-especially carrying children-which is involved in my profession. Dr. Gilbert Lee, did not just tell me what my problem was but how we were going to fix it. He was professional, intelligent and told me what was going on and what we had to do to make things better. I traveled a long distance to have dr. lee do my surgery and would even travel further if I had to, he is amazing. He did my surgery and fixed my distortion and allowed me to feel normal again. He did what was best for me. He made my scars look wonderful, they are healing beautifully. He is someone I would trust with anyone I love for ANY procedure in the plastic/cosmetic field. He is always helpful and answers questions without complant. I never felt in safer hands. He knew what was wrong and how to fix it, if I ever have another procedure, I will go to Dr. Lee." - Anonymous, San Diego
I would give more stars if I could!!!
"I've had the most amazing experience with Dr. Lee and his staff. I've known for years that I would get a breast augmentation one day and about five months ago I got up the courage to start searching for a plastic surgeon. I spent weeks searching online for someone who had great "before and after" pictures, amazing testimonials/reviews, and someone with a great reputation. I asked friends, friends of friends, and anyone I could talk to about plastic surgery for recommendations. I kept coming back to Dr. Lee. His "before and after" pictures were great, as were his education and accomplishments in his field. I refused to book a consultation with anyone else, much to my mother's horror, and had put all of my eggs in the Dr. Lee basket. The second I met him I knew he was the perfect surgeon for me. He is so personable, professional, and patient... I could go on and on. At the end of the consultation, I booked my surgery (with my mom's support... she was there with me and loved him too!). Surgery was easy, recovery was so fast and I didn't have a single (not ONE) bruise. Now, 10 weeks later, my breasts feel so real, look great, and I have a result that I couldn't have even dreamed of!
Follow ups with Dr. Lee and everyone at Changes have been great too... everyone has a smile on their face and an answer to any of my questions! I am SO happy that I did not wait any longer to get my breast augmentation- I can wear all of the clothes that I couldn't before, and I don't have to struggle every morning to find a bra that makes my breasts look a certain way because now they are perfect on their own. I am even happier, though, that I found Dr. Lee, because he gave me such a great, seamless experience with a perfect result. I have the breasts now that I should have been born with and extra confidence because of them.
PS... people talk about this consultation fee... you're about to go in for a consultation for a LIFE CHANGING, several THOUSAND dollar surgery... $120 shouldn't be swaying your opinion on what surgeon to go to when you're about to spend 5-10 grand! think about it :)" - Kate P.
Reconstructive Surgery
"After three reconstructive surgeries which did not produce the preferred outcome, I was referred to Dr Lee. His gentle, professional manner and excellent listening skills instilled confidence and he explained the process clearly. With just one surgery, he was able to achieve a perfect match and Im thrilled with my results. He and his entire staff are wonderful and I recommend him to anyone considering reconstructive surgery." - Anonymous, Carlsbad
Excellent Experience
"A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Gilbert Lee for my breast augmentation. I have nothing but rave reviews for Dr. Lee and his staff. My breasts are just the right size and I had such an easy recovery. I might consider a nose job now. Dr. Lee is great!" - Anonymous, San Diego
Reconstruction
"After being diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer, and making the decision to undergo a double mastectomy, with very high recommendations from my breast surgeon, I was referred to Dr. Lee for my reconstruction. I'm so glad that I followed his advice (even though it meant driving quite a distance), for I am exceptionally pleased with the results that Dr. Lee has achieved in reconstructing my breasts. Dr. Lee and his staff have been very sensitive and receptive to my wishes throughout the process. Additionally, something that I've appreciated about Dr. Lee is that he has been careful to take extraordinary measures to protect me from infection, which if occurs can greatly reduce the chances of a successful outcome. I am so pleased with my new breasts and feel confident that after he reconstructs my nipples and areola in a few months, my breasts will look like my natural breasts (when I was 21, I'm now over 50). Dr. Lee helped to turn a very traumatic diagnosis into a gift." - Anonymous, San Diego
Miraculous
"I had a bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer. That was the glass is half empty part. The glass is half full part was that I was put in touch with Dr. Gilbert Lee. He and his office staff were very accommodating to my situation. My reconstuction is now finished and my results are miraculous. Dr. Lee is not only a gifted surgeon but a very compassionate man. Every time I look in the mirror, I say, "Thank you, Dr. Lee." At the risk of sounding vain, my breasts look great. Thank you, Dr. Lee." - Anonymous, Poway
Great Results from Bad Situation
"I had breast cancer and had a bilateral mastectomy. Dr. Lee performed my reconstuction. He was great! He and his office staff made me feel very comfortable. The surgery he performed on me went as well as I could have dreamed. My breasts look great. Something that happened at Changes Plastic Surgery was that Dr. Lee and his staff were very forthright with information and instuction that helped me get through this and insured a very positive outcome. They are very attentive. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lee and Changes Plastic Surgery." - Dinah
