Facial Rejuvenation with fillers makes me feel beautiful again! Love it.

I recently had filler injections at WAVE and I am thrilled with the outcome! Dr. Peter Lee and the entire team were exceptional from start to finish. I got fillers in my cheeks, nose, lips, temples, and chin for overall facial rejuvenation. Dr. Peter Lee listened carefully to my concerns and explained the procedure in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. Their clinic looks fabulous and the atmosphere helped ease my nerves. The injections were done with such precision and a gentle touch that I felt minimal discomfort. Dr. Peter Lee checked in with me frequently to ensure I was comfortable and I got little to none bruise, which was beyond my expectations! I need 5 syringes in total and it comes in a natural way, really love it! My cheeks are fuller, giving my face a youthful lift. The subtle adjustments to my nose have enhanced its shape beautifully. My lips are now perfectly plump, my temples have a smoother contour, and my chin looks balanced and refined. The overall rejuvenation has given me a fresh, natural appearance that I couldn’t be happier with. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Peter to anyone considering fillers. Their expertise and compassionate approach have genuinely boosted my confidence. Thank you for making me feel beautiful again!

I love my facelift procedure with WAVE – my experience through it all was great

I loved my experience with wave. I set up a consultation to meet the doctor and consider doing a facelift & neck lift, endobrow lift, and chin augmentation. I wanted a change but was worried. The staff was so patient with me they answered all my questions, and would always set me up with a consultation whenever I had a concern. After talking to doctor lee I felt a lot more secure with my decision to proceed with my surgery. If your ever on the fence about getting any surgical procedure done at wave Do It. You won’t regret it. My experience through it all was great even my recovery experience was great I had little bruising, swelling and I have no scar at all. I Definitely recommend going to.

Positively life changing! Wave Lift & Mandible Reduction

Dr. Peter Lee is one of the most brilliant and skilled cosmetic surgeons. I sought out his expertise when I decided to move forward to achieve a more refreshed and youthful face. He spent a considerable amount of time during our consultation to analyze my facial features and to provide the best treatment approaches. He naturally has a sharp aesthetic eye, so rest assured that he will know what’s best for his patients!! I agreed with his recommendations and decided to move forward with a mini facelift (Wave Lift) and a mandibular reduction. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results thus far! Dr. Peter Lee changed my life and I will be eternally grateful! From beginning to end (pre surgery, pre ops, to post op, aftercare, and follow ups), Dr. Lee and his whole staff have been INCREDIBLE! Michelle G., Minji, Jenny, and Sai were all involved in taking the best care of me. They uphold the highest standard of patient care and satisfaction. Thank you to everyone at Wave for everything!!

I’m so thankful to have found Dr Lee, I have been searching for doctors ALL over the US including contemplating going to Korea to find a doctor who could do a revision rhinoplasty. My primary rhinoplasty was in Oct 2020 and the doctor actually made my nose even worse so I didn’t even bother to go back to him for a revision.

I saw that Dr Lee has more than 20 yrs experience and has worked on many asian faces and he was also open to my surgery ideas and what I wanted to have done with my revision. He was very helpful to explaining what can be done and what to expect. I had a really bad recovery experience from my last rhinoplasty, especially after the anesthesia so I was super anxious this time around. But amazingly I woke up completely fine, not much naseau or pain. The OR nurses are the BEST and so attentive and kind, I would go through surgery again just to be pampered by them. My consultant Ailla was so sweet and helped me with all my questions I had before and after surgery.

After my cast was off in 6 days I was in love with my new nose which is so surprising since I do have asian thick skin, but the swelling wasn’t that bad at all. When I returned in 2 wks for stitch removal the nurses were so surprised at how I was healing. Noone could tell I just had surgery, my nose looked so nice and healing is getting better each week. My bridge and tip has gone down a bit, but now my nose looks more natural to my facial features. I just hope the tip doesn’t go down anymore since I’m loving this new tip height. I will update you as I continue to heal.

But I would recommend anyone looking for a revision rhinoplasty surgeon, Dr Lee is absolutely the best and trust me I did my research on ALL the California asian rhinoplasty doctors and I felt Dr Lee was the one that would help guide me to the best option for my revision surgery. Hope this info helps!

Really happy with my double eyelid surgery so far!

It was very easy to make a consultation at WAVE with Dr. Lee. Both the in person and virtual consultations were pretty quick but Dr. Lee seemed very knowledgeable and experienced. He recommended incisional double eyelid surgery with epicanthoplasty to create a parallel crease which is what I also wanted. He addressed any concerns/questions I had and I felt good about my upcoming surgery! My consultant was also friendly and easily accessible. On surgery day, we spoke again briefly where he asked if I had any more questions and that he said he would do a 7.5 to 8 mm crease. I didn’t feel any pain at all during the procedure, just some tugging at some points. I only felt a little pain on the incisions on the way back home but it was bearable and went away quickly. Stitch removal was surprisingly not bad at all and the nurse was very nice! I am really happy with my eyes right now. I’m 3 weeks post op so my crease will continue to drop of course but ! love my new eyes so far! Dr. Lee and all of the staff were very kind and professional, I would definitely recommend him!

My friend says I look 10 years younger!

I always wanted to get my aging upper blep done but I was scared of side effects and it’s very expensive. Then when I realized | look much older for my age because my uneven, thick fatty eyelids, I finally decided to go for consultation as one of my friends was recommending Wave. I met my consultant, Annie, who was very nice and listened about how I wanted my eyes to be done. I also got a chance to meet Dr. Lee. I originally had to meet with him at a different days but since I live far away from their office, I was hopping I could just meet Dr. Lee at the same day. He was nice enough to see me before traveling to other locations. Dr. Lee gave his professional opinions and suggested that I need both ptosis correction and anti-aging blep. And the cost of the surgery was acceptable so l decided to do it with Dr.Lee. He had the magic hands that made miracles to my eyes. It has been 2 month and I had so any compliments! There was nothing to worry during the surgery. No pain. And their staff were very attentive throughout my process. Thanks to Dr. Lee and the amazing team at Wave Plastic Surgery. My friend says I look 10 years younger and I should have got this earlier! Highly Recommended!
