Lee Raymond's Online Review Report Card

This review is for the new dr GHAZIZADEH and my filler/ Botox. I went in for their august special since they have a new dr in. The lady that works at the front desk was super sweet and helpful. So met with dr G and she explained I wasn't qualified for the under eye filler and I appreciate the honest feedback. Said she would have someone quote me for "under bleph" but never got that info either. Decided to do 1 cc filler on my nasolabiol fold / marionette lines instead. Unfortunately, I didn't feel she was super nice and just rushed to do my filler and Botox, which may actually caused dark bruising. I've done Botox for 2 years now and never EVER bruised but this time I did. When she went in for my botox, she didn't confirm first where she was going to put the Botox. I told her I wanted in my forehead but she said side temple area was better. When she already started the Botox there, she said she thought that is what I wanted. I said no, the forehead. Anyways, bruising on side eye! Perhaps misunderstanding but maybe if she confirmed first again, it would've been better since I told her I wanted Botox on my forehead initially. So, the filler injection was painful and felt rushed. Previous fillers I've done before, all the rn's were super informative and gentle with the way they injected. I would lay my head back but this time I just sat there and she injected on my marionette and laugh lines. I understand there are risks of bruising but apparently, it felt painful enough that I felt the needle move even with the numbing cream (which did not work apparently) When done, I said thank you while leaving but her back was just turned with nothing said back. So honestly, I felt she just didn't want to do my face that day. I was called twice before my appointment that week where they were asking for me to reschedule my time up sooner which I've already accommodated once, so maybe being the last appt of that day was just bad timing. Results seems okay but the vibes I got were a bit cold compared to the other places I've been where every dr's and nurses have been nice/ informative towards their patients regardless.

In December 2020 I had a lower face and neck lift done by DR. Raymond Lee.Out of 5 Plastic surgeons I saw I choose Dr. Lee, because he had the most current relevant pictures of all the doctors I saw. My biggest concern was that I wanted to lift the corners of my mouth. Nothing was ever mentioned that the lower face lift would not correct my mouth if he had I would not have proceeded with surgery.At my 1month post-op my results were ok. By the 4th month (March) I was not happy with my outcome. I made an appointment with Dr. Lee to discuss my outcome. He agreed to do a revision on the left side since I was asymmetrical, he asked that I wait 1 year from surgery, I did not want to wait that long, we agreed at the 7-month mark. At my 2-month post on revision surgery to my left side there was minimal change. Once again, my results are not as I hoped. I firmly believe that he did not pull and cut any measurable skin. I feel I look no better than when I started. Even my neck has fallen to preop look. At my last post-op DR. suggested fillers. I did not want fillers as they will over time cost as much as the facelift. Specifically, around the mouth. With so much movement in this area fillers do not last. Fat transfer would not be an option since I don't have enough to do so. This surgery was not worth it, and I am out a lot of money.

I had heard Dr. Lee was the BEST! A few friends working in the cosmetic medical field ranted about Dr. Lee!! I decided to make an appointment with him and (2) other doctors. As an aging 60 year old sun worshiper, I was at the point where cosmetic help was a consideration. From the minute I walked into the FaceologyMD office I was impressed. So many times one walks into a cosmetic surgeons office feeling judged...not here! From the receptionist to the doctor EVERYONE I came into contact with representing FaceologyMD made me feel welcomed, unjudged, and already beautiful. I like to say their approach was more, YOU'RE ALREADY BEAUTIFUL BUT WITH A LITTLE HERE AND A LITTLE THERE...IMAGINE!!! And they were right!! Surgery was a breeze. Dr. Lee and his team made certain I was completely prepared with all my questions answered prior to surgery day. Communication after surgery was EXCEPTIONAL!! The results...I look 15 years younger. All my family and friends (who have no idea I had surgery) keep complimenting me on how great I look and ask my secret!! Here's my secret...make your appointment now to meet with Dr. Lee - FaceologyMD - you will be so happy you did!!! This is a TOP-NOTCH establishment and Dr. Lee is not only an excellent doctor, communicator, visionary,...but also, in my book, a magician!! BTW...I never followed through on the other (2) consultation appointments after meeting with Dr. Lee - FaceologyMD!!! Seriously...make your appointment today!!!

STILL HAVE PAIN YEARS AFTER PROCEDURE I had a facelift performed in conjunction with liposuction and platysmaplasty by Dr. Lee in 2018. That was years ago and I have been living in chronic pain ever since.The pain feels like someone took an industrial strength 2" wide rubber band and strapped it as tight as it could go from the bottom of my chin to the top of my head. Then scraped the side of my face and bottom of my chin with a scalpel until the flesh was raw. It feels as if I am on a merry-go-round of pain cycles and I can't get off. When I approached Dr. Lee with my concerns, I felt they were either dismissed or minimized. I got so tired of it that I decided to consult with other experts. Long story short, I was apprehensive about getting this procedure done, and I wish I had trusted my intuition and walked out. I ended up spending hundreds of hours in bed due to the extreme tightness, constant spasms and intense knife cutting pain and I have had to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket for therapy and care to manage the pain because medical insurance does not cover any issues arising from elective surgery. Now I can't even look at myself in the mirror anymore. The procedure left me with deformities such as visible platysma bands on the area under my chin which I never had before. I also have skin adhesions on the area in front of my ears - when I smile or animate, this causes some skin to bunch up on the sides of my face. This is very unnatural.Note: this review was first posted on Real Self on October 2021. Now posted on Yelp. I hope my review will help you make better decisions. I am a real patient with real experience. My advice is to do your due diligence and also google how to spot fake reviews when shopping around and consulting. Remember the wise saying, "if it sounds too good to be true; it probably is... " Also, does it seem like some reviews sound more like advertisements rather than real patient reviews? Ask for a copy of consent form to take home and review carefully before committing. Question every thing even add-on procedures that you didn't ask for (especially last minute) and get opinions from objective friends and experts. You have only one face - why risk?

Dr Lee performed a lower lift, neck lipo, buccal fat removal and eye lift. I could not have been more pleased with Dr Lee’s service. I have since had several people ask for referrals. I’m always enthusiastic to share Dr Lee’s office information. He is extremely talented, I love that he focuses his skills on the face, which shows in his results. He has an excellent bedside manner, and takes the time to listen. My overall experience was beyond my expectations!

I am very happy with my experiences at Faceology. The staff is very helpful and their vision for what could be is beyond mine. Professional! Thank you.

I’ve been going to Dr Lee and Tina for about 3 years now, always the best results no mattered I procedure I receive.. a few days ago I got Botox and had a Chemical peel so far I see great a huge difference,and it’s still to soon to see my final results..love them here.

Dr. Lee is consummate professional and a highly skilled surgeon. I am a surgeon myself and I am very impressed with his skill set, his attention to detail and his caring manner. Exceptional care!

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.
