I waited too long to do this review but it all keeps coming back to my mind and I feel it's the right thing to do. In October of 2023 I went in for a routine mammo and my primary doctor found that I had chronic bilateral silicone implant rupture with silicone in my lymph nodes. I had been experiencing chronic fatigue, hair loss and joint pain. In other words, Breast Implant Illness. I was told by my primary that I should try to get them removed promptly. So I started looking for a surgeon. I instantly wanted to go back to doctor Mia Skourtis who had put my implants in 10 years prior because I loved her and she did a great job on my surgery. However, she was not available for several more months. I started searching for the next best thing and came across Dr. John S. Lee in Portland Oregon. His website and reviews seemed great over all and the consultation went good with friendly staff. I thought I had made a great decision. His office told me that they did not take insurance but that if I payed upfront they would help me by giving me a discount and the insurance codes to file my claim myself. So I went for it and had surgery in November of 2023. A few days after surgery I came back to the office to take off the bandages for the first time. I sobbed. Dr Lee was not even there and it was just me, my husband and a nurse. I had implant removal with a lift and did not want implants back in but was looking for just more of a healthy and a natural look. Dr. Lee removed the implants, capsulectomy and did a lift but he left my right breast nonexistent. Both breasts are super small because I was small before and then you add a lift and you will lose a half cup size or so. But the right side is completely flat. So as I said, I sobbed that day and the nurse told me to give it time and they will "fluff". It has been two years at least the one has never fluffed. After that visit I walked out feeling sad but hopeful. In the meantime I continued on trying to file the insurance claim. This is where everything else fell apart. It took me almost 7 months to finally get a resolve. After trying to file the claim dozens of times all while trying to heal emotionally and physically, nothing was working for me to get my money back through insurance and his office became so rude to me. I made dozens of phone calls, countless hours on hold with insurance and one day I was told that he was actually "in my network" and that he should have never taken my money but that by law he was supposed to follow his binding contract and work through insurance. At that point I felt so taken advantage of and neglected as a patient. His receptionist Gina was so rude to me. I have all of the emails, results, screenshots from my medical claims, etc. After almost 7 months the final day came that I threatened their office with a lawyer because I was tired and upset. She finally reimbursed me the money owed back to me that they should not have taken. Since then I can see they went through my insurance as they should have done and got their money through the binding contract they had. Besides all of this I have ongoing pain in my right breast and have had to see so many doctors, trying to get resolve on my pain. Dr. Lee has never personally reached out to me and the lack of patient care on his part has left me with no help from the doctor that operated on my body. I would not recommend. My advice, do your own research and talk with insurance. If a doctor is in your network they have a legal binding contract wit the insurance company. It doesn't mean they have to operate on you but if they do then they have to bill insurance. Also, talk very clearly about expected results and what they can do if it is not ok. read more

I had blepharoplasty one year ago and had some complications like dry eye and ptosis and even had another physician question my results . Dr Lee became very defensive when questioned about his work and brushed me off telling me nothing was wrong. If you have concerns with your procedure he will not be willing to discuss with and help you. read more

I had two friends who came here for a lower bleph and they had amazing results. It was my turn recently and I had 10/10 experience with Dr. Lee and his kind staff. read more

I absolutely love the results of my reduction/lift. 100x over I would pick Dr.Lee! Also, his office ladies are fantastic and extremely sweet. Hands down the only place I would ever get work done. read more

I am pretty dang upset with my results. I originally had a lollipop breast lift + implants done with Dr John s Lee, my breast ended up just looking like big saggy breast instead of small saggy breast before spending the $10k, which if I knew that was the case I would have never done it. My insecurity was the saggyness, not the size. So now I have large saggy breast, my scars did not heal well, mostly due to some stitches never fully dissolving which make "blotches" of messed up scarring right at the bottom of my areolas. I also noticed my breast were more oval shaped than round, and looked weird from the side. Pretty dang upset with these results.... I contact the office and we decide to go for another lift as well as a nipple reduction, this time an anchor lift. Well here I am with still large saggy breast even after 2 breast lifts, except I now have TWO different size nipples & worse scarring. One nipple is very noticeably much larger than the other, you can instantly see it the second you look. One areola is much larger and one is much smaller and more oval shaped. How embarrassing every single day when I get dressed I notice this, even if I am wearing a slightly see through t shirt you can see the size difference. I also have one round decent looking breast, meanwhile one is completely square looking with a flat spot that literally looks like I have a large dent in my breast. From the side one breast is round and the other breast is completely flat. My scarring on my areolas is still terrible from the stitches never fully dissolving either but that's the least of my worries. The dent and misshape in my breast is so noticeable that you can see it in clothing. It's very very unflattering and embarrassing, I'm so upset I spent the money for this outcome, and here I am having to spend much more money to have them fixed just so I don't hate my body and choice to have this done. I brought this to Dr John s lees attention and had a consultation and he did not spend any time on the problem and quickly pretty much told me nothing is wrong with my breasts. I feel like the second surgery just messed me up more and did not fix any problems, idk if it was just no effort into fixing me or what. Meanwhile I straight up look botched. I am almost 2 years from my last surgery and I still hate myself for this, and think about it every single day. I have been going back and fourth on writing a review or reaching out again and have finally decided to just go ahead and write a review to warn others of a possible outcome getting surgery here I will attach a photo showing one of my problems that even shows through clothing. read more

John S Lee, MD - NW Plastic Surgery - Here is ONE of my problems. - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

After we interviewed 5-6 surgeons, we selected Dr Lee. He has his own office and surgery center, so scheduling was much easier and simpler. Most important, Dr Lee is an "artist" and is highly skilled and cares a lot about his patients. His nurse and the entire staff were great to work with. Incredible outcome with him and recommend him highly! read more

My nose wasn't the worst but it was something I was very self conscious about. I didn't have a smooth curved up nose and my tip isn't pointed up. I had always wanted a cute smooth pointed nose but I didn't want to get a surgical nose job (rhinoplasty). I did my researched and found Dr. Lee's website and I immediately scheduled a consultation. Everyone was very kind, communication was great, and service was excellent. I got a non-surgical nose job and I absolutely loved my results. I have gone back multiple time with Dr. Lee and everytime he meets all my expectations. I have also gotten lip fillers and I loved it as well. I have recommended him to my friends and family. read more

See all

I got a full lift & implants 5 years ago and I'm nothing short of ecstatic with my results & how they have maintained their shape. He has hands of a god. He is amazing and i strongly recommend him. I got 700cc silicone implants. read more

My experience with Dr. Lee was wonderful! Dr. Lee did a total capsulectomy, explant and lift surgery removing my oversized textured implants from a previous surgeon. My results are amazing! Dr. Lee is an extremely gifted surgeon, smart, caring and a great sense of humor. His skill level / expertise are superior and I have the utmost trust in him. Thank you Dr. Lee for taking my health seriously and giving me such a beautiful set of smaller perky breasts. Highly recommend. read more

Dr Lee is amazing. He makes his patients feel comfortable, provides you info up front and is very thorough. Dr Lee has great results; he is a pro! I would highly recommend him! read more

I had a facelift done by Dr. Lee expecting good results. My out come is unbelievable awesome and way better than I could ever imagined. Very little scaring after just three weeks . Dr. Lee as well removed my implants and reconstructed my breast again with amazing results. Dr. Lee and his staff was very helpful and comforting. EXTREMELY HAPPY ! Thank you Dr. Lee read more

My mother, my aunt and I have all had facial work done with Dr. Lee so I have gone through the pre and post op with him 3 times with 3 different people. He has never seemed rushed or like there was somewhere else he needed to be. Questions were answered professionally and warmly. He also has a very naturally calm demeanor so you just feel calm. That's not to say that he doesn't provide you with a very realistic assessment of what the process will be like and what results you will get. All of our results are fantastic and the whole process was as painless as possible. I never thought that I would actually go through something like this but after seeing my mother and the care that she received I though...why wait until I am 72? I don't regret it for a moment. read more

Soooo happy with my results!!!! I spent a long time researching cosmetic surgeons, both here and in California before I decided on Dr. Lee. His website "before and after" photo gallery is really impressive. He does a number of various procedures exceptionally well. Forget the myth that you need a "specialist" for each procedure you require. Dr. Lee is a fantastic surgeon, with a great artistic eye. More importantly, he is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to incisions and their healing. I am four months out from a tummy tuck and breast reduction. The results are amazing .. It changed my life! Questions? His staff is really helpful and knowledgeable and can book you a consultation. Interested in fillers or Botox instead of surgery? Go see Quenby ( His nurse) she's a wizard with injectables. I can't recommend this team highly enough. They are all really good. read more

Unhappy with the way the office manager communicated with me, very unprofessional, I was very disappointed after reading all the positive reviews, as I was really hoping for a consultation. But their loss as I will not give my business to someone whos unprofessional. read more

I made an appointment for a consultation and filler weeks ago for Botex and Juvederm and the front desk said to come at 1:00 for both. I was very excited about this all the way over there. Well, the lady Paige who does Cosmetic injections was suggesting all these things for fillers and the cost for just 1 syringe of Juvederm was 850 dollars and then she wanted to go get the surgeon to see me and he wasn't there. She also said when people come in that she has done 7 or 8 syringes. Well, that told me she wanted bigger fish to fry, and I was not a good candidate for her time. So, after the consultation she said there was no time left and I couldn't have it done as planned. I've gone to many places in the past and never had this problem. They understood what I wanted and I was very happy after leaving. Not this place because they always want to do what they want and I'm not that picky. I know that Dr. Lee must be a fine surgeon, but he should eliminate the lady from his office permanently. read more

I had a great professional experience and i'm very happy with my results. staff was fantastic, all of them really friendly and welcoming. I felt cared for and like I was in good hands which matter for me the most. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Lee and his expertise. The man is an artist yet practical and honest about possible outcomes. He's performed two procedures for me. I researched every top cosmetic surgeon in this area and a couple in Seattle and came back to Dr. Lee because he seemed the most knowledgeable, most experienced and measured in his judgement. He took the time to explain the procedures and he never talked down to me. I got that quite a bit from others even when I came in asking informed questions. Dr. Lee performed an upper and lower eye lift for me 5 years ago and I thought he did a fabulous job. It's holding up well too. He also used fat transfer to lift my cheeks a bit and provide a more youthful appearance. Some surgeons don't offer this option but it really makes a difference in facial procedures. The operation was a gentle experience and I awoke feeling wonderful from the Ketamine. Then, this year I had a procedure that I've put off far too long. I had a breast augmentation when I was 26 and I'm now 59. I've needed to have this implant exchange for 33 years. In the last 3 years I've had pain so I knew it was definitely time but was afraid of the outcome. I went to a number of doctors for consultation and they all seemed a bit timid to take my case. One even referred me to another doctor saying "I don't take your type of case". I couldn't believe he had the nerve to earn his living putting them in, but was no help to women who needed correction. Not a skilled surgeon in my view. After talking to them I realized I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Lee, already knowing his skill level, and I hoped he was as practiced with implant exchange as he was with facial surgery. He was honest with me and explained the possible outcomes and what might be done to correct the issues I'd had with my old implants. After considering the info. he provided, I put my trust in him. The surgery was 5 hours long. I'm healed now and it's only been a month and they are better than the augmentation I had when I was 26. I also feel much better having the old implants removed and exchanged for better ones. If you ever need this procedure, don't be afraid...go to Dr. Lee. I only hope he doesn't retire before I can get one more thing done in the next few years. His prices are also very reasonable compared to other surgeons. Thank you Dr. Lee for your care and artistry. You've made such a difference in my life and I'm sure in so many others. A big fan!!! read more

Ultimately I picked DrLee based on a personal recommendation. I decided to get a breast lift based on reviews and what I wanted to accomplish. I was of course so nervous but after my procedure I couldn't be happier. Recovery and look has been great! I'll post more down the road but so far I highly recommend! read more

I consulted two doctors for a rhinoplasty. The first office I felt was a hard sell for every product from Botox to a facelift. In fact I am still receiving emails from them promoting specials and ads. I went to Dr. Lee as a family member had a rhinoplasty and the results were fantastic! Not over the top, not that pinchy look, it was so natural. I am so glad I did as Dr. Lee is fabulous! After many years of waiting I finally made a choice to get a rhinoplasty to fix a very old fracture, bump and bend in my nose. Dr. Lee was considerate, kind, very calming, and completely professional. He listened to what I wanted, talked to me about what he could do, and what the results might be. From the consultation to the surgery to the follow up everything went smooth and perfect. My nose was done one month ago. The day the bandage came off I could see the difference and was brought to tears of joy. I wish I had done this years ago. My nose is AMAZING! It doesn't look "done", it is natural, fits well to my facial features and size, and it takes an artist of a doctor to perform this surgery and get the result Dr. Lee gave me. I feel like it is a gift and I feel so much better about my appearance now that the damage was corrected. Dr. Lee has a wonderful staff from the friendly office people to his awesome nurse, a beautiful office, and I will tell anyone I know to go to Dr. John Lee. In fact, I am returning again this month for consultation on another procedure. Recommend!!! read more

You are in good hands with Dr. Lee! Dr. John S. Lee is wonderful! A kind man who tells you what is needed and recommended in straight forward manner with no UPselling. He did eyelid surgery on me that was needed due to upper lids sagging due which was age related. Also he eliminated the slight hollow area under my eyes by injecting fat to plump up that area. The fat was removed from my belly area. Even better was that I was pleasantly surprised that having both upper and lower lids done with slight enlargement of the opening around my eyes improved periferal vision where I can now see to the left and right about 25% improvement. And I look 100% better! Took a little longer to recover but I am happy with the results! The surgery was done 3 years ago and I am glad I did this. read more

I love Dr. Lee! After consulting with several Dr's I found Dr. Lee to be both a comfort and someone to release me of my anxieties in regards to cosmetic surgery. After my consult with him, I almost cried. He was exactly EVERYTHING I had been looking for in a Dr. Dr. Lee will not sugar coat things. This may come off as abrasive to some - not to me. I appreciated his honestly and his ability to put my needs / happiness / and satisfaction above his desire to get my money. I didn't want or need a smooth talking Dr in an expensive suit (I met with several of those!), I just wanted a competent Dr that made me feel at ease. As for his work - AMMMMMAZING! Thanks Dr. Lee! read more

Dr. Lee and his staff are amazing! I had chin lipo done and I am in love with my results and the whole process was great! All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming since my first appointment they made me feel very comfortable and Sarah the nurse was the sweetest she is so welcoming and friendly and made the whole surgery process go by so easy I wasn't nervous at all I remember she held my hand during the surgery and made me feel so comfortable it was so fast and pain free and my recovery was great I love my results thanks Dr. Lee! read more

Dr. Lee is amazing and his staff is wonderful. I'm in my 60s and had a neck lift with fat transfer. The sagging neck was my biggest concern. He skillfully sculpted my neck, tucking the stitches behind my ears, which meant no scars in front of my ears. The added fullness to my cheeks from the fat transfer was a bonus. I was looking for a very natural, yet fresher look, and I could not be happier. I think he is the best there is as a cosmetic surgeon. Recovery went well, and pricing was fair. read more

For a few years I have been very unhappy with my lips, as I've gotten older (43) I have noticed that my lips were disappearing. The lines around my mouth were deep and progressively getting worse. After much research I scheduled an appointment to get my lips plumped back to their once pretty shape. Quenby was amazing! She didn't try to oversell sell me on things I didn't need. In fact she said my bottom lip was fine and didn't need filler at this time. I couldn't be more pleased with what she achieved. I now have full lips like I had in my 20's and the deep smoker lines are gone! My only regret is that I waited so long to have this done. I will be a faithful client of theirs. I'm already looking into having some forehead lines filled in and skin resurfacing. I would recommend to anyone wanting to look refreshed and feel better about yourself. read more

Dr. Lee was both professional and highly competent. I serendipitously selected him at random, but later spoke with a doctor who claimed Dr. Lee was one of only two she'd recommend. read more

Awful receptionist. very rude and thinks she knows everything. I decided not to work with Dr. Lee because I just couldn't get passed how rude his receptionist is. Is this a reflection of business practices? read more

Considering a breast surgery, I had met with 2 plastic surgeons to discuss it. A friend suggested I meet with Dr. Lee before I made any decision. I'm certainly pleased that I did. I was more comfortable with Dr. Lee than I had been with the others. His easygoing confident demeanor put me at ease. After assessing my situation, Dr. Lee carefully explained his ideas for the surgery and answered my questions. I was not yet decided about whether or not I wanted to proceed with a surgery. But I did know after meeting with him that Dr Lee is the plastic surgeon I'd choose. Some weeks later I decided, made the arrangements, and had the breast surgery. Dr Lee, his nurse Quenby, and his staff are delightful professionals. I was treated very well and I'm elated with the results. read more

I had intended in getting one or two treatments of fraxel and made an appointment here. I was told I needed to come in for a "consultation" first. What that really was, was a campaign to get me to buy either a $5000 package of fraxel (one or two was not enough) or to get me to buy the deeper lazer treatment. The one where you have a couple weeks of downtime, have to wear bandages and have skin weeping and blistering. The only thing really wrong with my skin is a few age spots and maybe my pores could be a bit tighter. I just wanted a refresher. I did not want to sign up for a very painful surgery type thing. I just wanted a couple of fraxel appointments because I understood that it was just an exfoliation. The fact that this woman PRESSURED me and PRESSURED me was such a turn off. Once she realized I was only going to spend $1400 on a couple of treatments she totally lost interest in me and was rude and I had to walk myself to the front desk and basically beg for an appointment for fraxel. She just walked out and met with someone else, leaving me to figure out where the appointment desk was. None of my questions were answered about fraxel and there was no discussion of the procedure. So much for that "consultation" ...I did make an appointment but when I got home - I thought about how rudely I was treated and I called back and canceled. read more

I did my consultation for breast augmentation a year ago with Dr. Lee he was awesome and I was very excited. I wanted to save for a bigger chunk to put down so now a year later I'm ready to make my appointment. I called and made an appointment for just a couple months from now however since my consultation was a year ago nothing is fresh in my brain anymore. Every time I call to ask a question the same lady rushes to get off the phone and it reallllly turned me off. A friend of mine went to a different doctor so thinking why not, I did a consultation somewhere else today. This doctor however is going to be more expensive than dr. Lees office and being so stuck on how awesome lee himself is I walked in thinking it would just be a nice refresher. After my consult I called doctor lees office again trying to get more info on what we decided to do for me, and be refreshed on the break down of my bill (as the paper I have just has the total and no break down.) After talking with my husband we've decided that the environment means a lot. I got a great vibe from both doctors so it comes down to how I'm treated as a patient. Being told "ok bye" half way through a question or when I have many more questions to be asked (bc I am changing MY body) I've sadly decided to go with the other doctor. When I called dr lees office to cancel, again the same lady answered, and she had no problem canceling my appointments without question or concern. read more

Dr Lee and Patti are wonderful! I can't say enough about them. I went there in 2010 and was treated with complete respect. they took the time to answer all my questions spent extra time making sure I knew everything and made the right choices. Afterwards Patti always was right there from me if I called with a concern. The results where perfect! Dr Lee made me feel very comfortable in his office and I went in feeling like i was in the hands of family and had no worries. I plan on visiting him again and have no desire to look at other doctors. I know Dr Lee only does the best and natural results. read more

My experience with Dr Lee was so very positive. I had a breast reduction and lift and then had a tummy tuck. Felt like I was in very good hands with a very experienced surgeon. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Dr Lee. read more

I was recommended to Dr. Lee by a friend who said her mother-in-law had had the same procedures I was looking to have done (upper and lower eye lift, chin/neck tightening and fat implanted into my cheekbone area plus a little fat added to my lips). I didn't want anything drastic and instantly noticeable looking like someone off the 'Real Housewives...". I just wanted to look healthy and refreshed, which is EXACTLY what I got! Dr. Lee truly knows what he is doing. The results he said I could expect during my consultation were what he achieved. What is also refreshing is his staff. I felt so comfortable from the moment I walked in. There is no "phoniness" about any of his staff. They are all "real". Gina is always a pleasure to talk to, Sarah is a very kind, caring person who always answered my questions. Becky his assistant during surgery was also very kind and caring. It was truly a positive experience from beginning to end. In fact, I was so happy with my facial results, I just got a quote for another procedure that I am going to have him perform soon! I highly recommend him! read more
