Patient Testimonials

I was referred to Dr. Lee by a friend when I began my hunt for the best plastic surgeon in Tampa. I had multiple consultations with the top rated and “best” plastic surgeons in Tampa. To say I was unimpressed is a severe understatement… Each doctor treated me like just another piece of meat; unfortunately, this seems to be a trend across Tampa’s surgeons.
When I went to my consultation with Dr. Lee it was a breath of fresh air! I was treated like royalty by his amazing staff. I was looking to get a breast augmentation but I was concerned about looking natural, complications, etc. He took the time to explain all the different options and how it would affect me as an active young woman. There was no fluff or dodging questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and eased my ever worry. Dr. Lee only had my best interests in mind and at no point did I feel pressured to get the procedure done unlike so many other surgeons pushed. By the time my surgery day came I could I knew EXACTLY what was going to happens before the surgery, after, and years down the road. He has the most meticulous attention to detail and the surgery could not have gone better!
The results? Even better than I imagined! My breast’s have a beautiful shape; my scars are paper thin, and most of all no one could ever guess I even had the procedure done. His entire staff is wonderful and I can not say enough great things about him and his staff.
I recommend if you are looking for any cosmetic procedure to save yourself the time and hassle by simply going the the best surgeon in the first place!

Since my first consultation with Dr. Lee, i was impressed. He took his time with me, measured me and answered all my questions. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable; such a pleasant experience. I recently had Botox & fillers and I am very pleased. I am scheduled for more procedures. Definitely the best in Tampa!

Absolutely recommend! Every single one of the staff from the receptionist to the nurse, Rachel, their anesthetist and of course Dr Lee are extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and caring. I never felt uncomfortable during the process from my free consultation to my breast augmentation surgery this morning! Everything went smoothly and they definitely made me feel ready for the surgery and went over everything in detail beforehand. While it is only day one of my post op, I don’t feel any nausea from the anesthesia, pain is mild and overall incredibly happy with my experience! Thank you Dr. Lee, Rachel and the rest of the team!

Just got a breast augmentation done with Dr.Lee & the experience was amazinggggg. Between him (Dr. Lee), his staff & anesthesiologist they were all wonderful & SUPERRRRR nice. It was my first surgery & going under so you can only imagine how freaked out I was walking in on my surgery day. However they were so nice & calming that I felt like I was going for a facial instead of surgery. After my surgery I have yet to feel any pain. It’s kind of bizarre, but that’s to show you that they KNOW what they are doing. I watched so many YouTube videos on breast augmentations & 97% of the girls I watched complained how they couldn’t breath, they felt like a elephant was sitting in there chest, felt nauseas, first 3 days where the worst, blah blah …. but I did not feel none of those things. My recovery has been GREAT!!! I would so do it all over again without the freaking out part. Long story short he is the best, his staff is the best, would recommend him a billion times to anyone that would like to get work done. Thank you Dr. Lee & staff you guys are the real MVP’s. 🙂

Dr. Lee gave me hope when no one else would. With my unexpected 2nd go around with breast cancer, I realized the true impact of radiation. All other plastic surgeons did not want to risk their reputations for an implant and pushed me to do a flap, which would mean symmetry issues considering I was now doing a bilateral mastectomy. Dr. Lee was recommended by my oncologist who said he was doing cutting edge techniques and was not afraid to try new things.
Yes, it may have been a risk but it was a success! All thanks to Dr. Lee!

Dr. Lee and his staff are incredible! I had a breast augmentation done at the end of June, and everything from the surgery to recovery was well taken care of by Dr. Lee and his staff. I was apprehensive because this was the first time I was ever having any type of cosmetic surgery, however from the time I visited his office I knew they were going to make me feel calm and comfortable through the whole surgery. Dr. Lee is incredibly talented and extremely detailed in his practice. I told him what I was looking for and he was very thorough in going over all my options and finding what was best for me. Everyone who has gone through this type of cosmetic surgery warned me it was going to be painful, however Dr. Lee’s expertise had me back on my feet within a week and the pain was very minimal! His techniques are geared towards a speedy recovery. The compliments I get about my surgery have me feeling my best and confident self! I would recommend Dr. Lee to anyone and everyone and will definitely be using him in the future for more cosmetic enhancements! Thank you Dr. Lee & wonderful staff!!

We live in North Carolina and when I was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, we decided to have surgery and treatment in Tampa because of the expertise we found there. Dr. Charles Cox and Dr. Wayne Lee were highly recommended by several separate sources and we are so thankful! They both performed bilateral mastectomy with assessment and preparing for reconstructive surgery post treatment.
We could not be more impressed with Dr. Lee’s level of caring, expertise, precision, meticulous attention to detail and his knowledge of the latest cutting edge procedures and techniques!
He is extremely passionate about his work and a perfectionist in all details of care. He is an active supporter of breast cancer awareness fund raising events and search for cure. We could not be more impressed or thankful for him!

I am very happy with my cool sculpting treatments. The difference is remarkable and it has given me a fresh start to keep up with a good health regimen. My abdomen is 5 inches smaller with the help of cool sculpting, a renewed commitment to exercise and a good diet. I strongly recommend this treatment!

Dr. Lee has a wonderful bedside manner and never makes you feel rushed. He will answer every question or concern you might have before your procedure. He was my reconstructive surgeon after having a double mastectomy and I am very pleased with the results. He did exactly as we discussed and they look very natural. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing plastic surgery. 5 Stars!

Dr. Wayne Lee is such an amazing plastic surgeon!! After my flawless surgery a year ago (which mind you I got there at 7am and was home by noon), I couldn’t be more happier with the results!! He saw me regularly after my surgery and answered all of my questions. Even before my surgery he made sure I was completely comfortable throughout the entire process and really had my best interest at heart. He has a great calming manner as well which was a huge plus since I have such high anxiety all the time. His entire staff has always been more than nice and sweet to me. They have been my crutch every time I needed someone to lean on..especially Li!!!
I still go to Dr. Lee for cosmetic procedures now and I never had any billing problems or a hard time booking appointments.
I would highly recommend Dr.Lee for plastic surgery in the Tampa Bay Area!!!

Dr. Lee and his staff have been a great blessing in my life. I had a wonderful experience from day one. I really needed the support after a double mastectomy. Although I first arrived at his office afraid and had many questions. I can attest that Dr. Lee and his staff were always kind, respectful, empathetic, extremely caring and more so knowledgeable. They always made me feel at ease during and after the reconstruction process. I thank God for putting Dr. Lee and his staff in my life! I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his team. Therefore, I give Dr. Lee permission/consent to use or publish my photos and or my records to help his future patients through this lengthy process and give them strength and hope.

I received excellent care throughout my implant replacement procedure. The office is well organized, efficient, and always promptly returned calls with the answers to my questions or concerns. Dr. Lee is very knowledgeable, but has maintained the ability to connect with patients in a personal, caring, and compassionate level. He is meticulous in his protocols through each step. He is not satisfied unless he has obtained the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend dr. Lee’s practice and would only return to him, should I require and desire additional procedures.

Dr. Wayne Lee performed my reconstructions surgery following a double mastectomy and I was hoping to look similar to my natural appearance. I knew immediately after my first office visit this was the doctor for me. He was kind, empathetic, very knowledgeable and patient. I was a difficult case because an earlier surgery in the 80’s resulted in leaking breast implants, placed in front of the chest wall. After the mastectomies I knew there would be very little breast tissue left to work with for the reconstruction. I was hoping for a good result. After surgery I was stunned by my appearance. I have an absolutely fantastic result! My breasts are beautiful, symmetrical and yes, very youthful, considering I’m almost 70.

Dr. Lee and his staff are an amazing team. I had so many doubts, questions, and concerns. From day one I knew that this office was special. My preoperative questions were answered. The staff was so encouraging on my weight loss journey “s/o” to Lee. Post op 20lbs down and going. My breasts look amazing and my self-esteem and confidence are through the roof. I ask God to bless them holistically.

I don’t want to look “young” for my age. I just want to look GOOD for my age. Dr. Lee knows the art of enhancing natural beauty without making you look overdone. I chose him for my fillers because I didn’t want to look like a blowfish. I just wanted him to put back what Mother Nature gave me and Father Time took away. He did just that. There’s MANY plastic surgeons in Tampa to choose from that do fillers, but if you want to still look like you, there’s Dr. Lee.

Dr. Lee, I am honored for the opportunity to share my experience with you, your staff, and other patients. After I received my diagnosis of Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, I was overwhelmed. My exceptional breast specialist, Dr. John Cox, referred me to you for the reconstructive part of my treatment. From my very first consultation, I felt relief and confident in you and your staff. I appreciate that you were very thorough in your evaluations, treatment, and care. Aside from every nurse or member of the hospital staff telling me that you are the best, I can honestly say that you have been the best doctor I’ve ever had. You have always taken the time to answer my questions and put me at ease. At every appointment, you told me what to expect and everything was right on target. In my experience, I have always felt that you and your staff truly care for me as a patient and person. Although getting a breast cancer diagnosis at age 45 was devastating, I’m so grateful that you have been my doctor through it and I look forward to continuing at your monthly Return 2 Fitness class and meeting more survivors and fellow Dr. Lee patients! What a blessing!
Thank You to you and your staff for all you do!

My first visit, Dr, Lee did the Peel on my face. I was very pleased and would recommend him to friends or family. The staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable.

Thank you, Dr. Lee Ten star service, With real results!

Dr. Lee and his staff are wonderful people. He is not a surgeon he is an artist. If you are considering any type of plastic surgery consult of any type, call his office. He will change your life forever. He has changed mine. Thanks Dr. Lee and your girls!!! No negative remarks from me, if you see any, just remember you can’t please everybody.

Last month, I celebrated my “1-Year Cancerversary” so I am a very happy Breast Cancer Survivor. My medical team was Dr. Evan Tummel, my Breast Surgeon, and Dr. Wayne Lee, my Plastic Surgeon. I was so blessed to have these two brilliant, kind, caring, amazing doctors by my side. Naturally, when you hear the words: “You have Cancer”, you are filled with so many emotions but once you meet with your medical team, you feel so empowered to kick Cancer’s booty! I had a Double Mastectomy with Reconstruction. It is difficult to put into words just how much Dr. Lee and his staff have meant to me during this “little adventure”. They truly make you feel as if you are part of the Dr. Lee Family. You are NOT just a number; you are NOT just “another Breast Cancer patient”.
You are treated with respect, compassion, kindness and caring. Dr. Lee’s practice has a motto: “Where Art Meets Science” and that is amazingly true. Dr. Lee’s brilliance and vision have made me feel pretty again after my Breast Cancer. If you are looking for a doctor who is meticulous, brilliantly skilled with wonderful bedside manor and has a staff who make you feel “wrapped in love”, this is the Surgeon for you. Dr. Lee also offers a wellness program to all of his patients, called “Return 2 Fitness”. This wonderful monthly program brings together his patients and encourages a support group type setting where we can share experiences coupled with guest speakers, 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of yoga. This is a fabulous program and one I enjoy tremendously. Thank you Dr. Lee, Genie, Emily, Erica, Kala, Holly, Angie and Li for ALWAYS being with me every step of the way and to his amazing angels Alex and Leigh. You may have moved on to new chapters in your careers but I will never forget how much you meant to me. I am so blessed by all of you.

Dr Lee is absolutely amazing. He is willing to actually spend time with you and answer any question. In a few weeks my expander will be removed from right side (mastectomy) and reconstruction will take place. Dr Lee will also do reduction to left side. I have total confidence in him and his nurses. His office staff is always happy to answer questions, make you feel at ease and comfortable. I would recommend Dr Lee to anyone thinking about any kind of plastic surgery.

Dr. Lee and his staff have been wonderful and caring throughout the process of my mastectomy to completion of the breast reconstruction! Trusting your surgeon is important and I definitely trust Dr. Lee’s abilities. It was a difficult journey that was made easier with Dr. Lee and his awesome staff. I feel “whole” again. Thank you again Dr. Lee!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 I had a double mastectomy in March of 2013! I immediately after the mastectomy I had breast ex-panders put in and began the process of my reconstruction. I survived two infections along with the removal of the left ex-pander along with months of costly therapy and two additional surgeries. Along the way I joined support group where in my second meeting I met 3 other survivors all with similar stories and we all had one common denominator we all shared the same plastic surgeon, a respected and experienced PS in the Bay Area Dr. Karen Wells. I finally came to the realization that sometimes it’s not the patient or the condition I knew that in order for me to end this chapter of my life and begin to feel whole I had to find the RIGHT Doctor. On September 8, 2014 Dr. Wayne C Lee operated on me and I was finally able to close the book on that part of my Breast Cancer Story. From my initial visit to my post op the difference were so significant. Dr. Lee gives you 100% attention to every element form day one, starkly different from Dr. Wells’ negligible response to any situation or question. He is so informative and on his game, even the undergarments he gave me were very different. As a patient just to know that your doctor is your partner and not just a visitor on your journey. I was also so impressed when I learned that he holds a once monthly “Return 2 Fitness” class at the local YMCA, it’s a 2 hour class where he brings in a dietitian, and a yoga instructor and works with you on cardio to help ease you back into health. I attended a Return to Fitness class in August and did yoga with Dr. Lee on the mat next to me. I am just so impressed by Dr. Lee and everyone on his staff. If you have any question at all that your doctor is not right don’t wait!

In 1982 I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Since it has been 32 years I had a feeling I needed to possibly have them replaced. Dr. Lee was highly recommended to me. I went for a consultation and felt very comfortable with him. He scheduled my surgery and found that both of my implants were ruptured. Dr. Lee did an excellent job. He has a great bed side manner and is very professional and takes time to answer all questions. His office staff is also professional and very caring. This was a great experience. Thank you Dr. Lee and staff.

I went to Dr. Wayne Lee for breast reconstruction after a diagnosis of breast cancer. Dr. Lee is an excellent physician and wonderful human being. He is kind, caring, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. He patiently responds to any question posed to him. His calm, soothing demeanor really makes it easier for his patients to conquer their fears regarding the surgery.
Dr. Lee is completely committed to his patients and their well being. He has partnered with Beau Taillefer of Formula 55 to establish “Return 2 Fitness.” This is a fantastic group for breast cancer survivors and he is totally committed to the group. I am thrilled with my medical treatment and the results. I am equally pleased with the manner in which I was treated by Dr. Lee and his staff. I will really miss Dr. Lee and his staff when my treatment ends.

Dr. Lee came highly recommended by my general surgeon for breast reconstruction after a double mastectomy. My first consultation with Dr. Lee and his staff was awesome. They could not have been more compassionate to my needs. Dr. Lee is the total package; great bedside manner, tons of patience along with vast knowledge and great skill. It has been a year since my first visit, and my new breasts look like they did when I was in my twenties. No more push-up bras for me! Dr. Lee gets five stars in my book. I totally recommend him. Thank you Dr. Lee and your staff for all your hard work and dedication.

Thank you Dr. Lee for your time, medical experience, and thoughtfulness during my surgery and related reconstruction and recovery. Dr. Lee’s honesty and openness to answer my questions was greatly appreciated. Dr. Lee has a clam demeanor that makes me feel comfortable to express my concerns and feedback. Dr. Lee’s staff is friendly and professional. The time Dr. Lee spent explaining the process and availability to answer my questions was valuable to me and made it easy for me to select Dr. Lee as my surgeon. Thank you Dr. Lee and staff!

Thank you Dr. Lee for the excellent reconstruction service you provided me. Dr. Lee’s office staff and approach was meticulous, sensitive, and caring. I am recovering well and have a new start with enriched perspective here in Durham, NC.

You arrive at Dr. Lee’s office to a welcoming, friendly greeting. The office scheduling is excellent; there was never a time where I waited to be seen.
After my visit with the breast surgeon where I had made the most important decision of my life I then went to Dr. Lee’s office for a consultation. From the moment I walked in the door I felt comfortable. I knew I would place my trust in Dr. Lee to put me back together.
Just prior to my surgery I experienced a weak moment and Dr. Lee called me personally and we talked through my questions. After surgery there was a rough patch bur Dr. Lee saw me every other week until I was feeling really well. Dr. Lee methodically walked me through the statistics and reasoning to help me select the type of implants. When it was time for the implant surgery, like the tidy conclusion of play, it went smoothly.
My reconstructive surgery was a total success, I look better than before, and I thank Dr. Lee for his compassionate bedside manner.

In August 2011, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was devastated! I had mammograms yearly, self examinations weekly, without ever having felt any abnormalities. I was subjected to numerous and varied tests that showed there were calcifications in both my left and right breast. The beginning stages of cancer showed in the right breast, but not the left. Face with the chance of cancer developing in my left breast, with the support of my husband I decided to have a double mastectomy.
My surgical oncologist recommended Dr. Lee as my reconstructive plastic surgeon. All I can say to that is “Thank God for Dr. Lee.”
Dr. Lee is a warm, caring, and patient doctor. He takes time to explain the process of reconstructive surgery and the potential problems and benefits. He let me know that I am more than my breasts and it’s me as a person that defines me, not my breasts. Although nothing can replace God’s work, Dr. Lee provided me with a great replacement. Because of his fine artful work, I’m not self-conscious or depressed. One of the best things about his work is the new pair won’t sage and my husband can’t quite smiling.

My primary doctor told me about Dr. Lee when I asked for advice. She was impressed with Dr. Lee’s credentials and work.
I have had facial surgery before, and I find that Dr. Lee’s work is thorough, painless, and I love the results.
