Re: Cosmetic Dermatologist for Sun Damage (October 2005)
For wrinkles and sundamage go see Dr. Elizabeth Slass Lee in Berkeley and get on the ''Obaji Nuderm'' system! It is prescription only system (must be why it works) that has totally transformed my skin from crepe-like and spotty to smooth and soft. I originally went to her for a peel and she suggested I try the skincare first. My skin looks so good I haven't even bothered with the peel. I have never in my life received so many compliments on my skin. When I can afford it I am going back to her for this laser treatment which helps to stimulates collagen production. Hope this helps!

Re: Cosmetic Dermatologist for Sun Damage (October 2005)
I too had sun damage from living in SO. Cal. all my younger life. I just started using a great product, that I really like from Dr. Elizabeth Lee. She is a surgeon, but also does skin rejuvenation, lasers etc. I like the program I'm on and it feels good to have someone monitering my progress and her understanding and friendly manner are very encouraging. It's the Obagi skin care line. It costs a little more that what I was doing, but it's worth to know what I'm doing is working. Truely, a little goes a long way. I was so tired of trying other things at the beauty counters and even facialists. This works. Her number is 510.704.2170. 2999 Regent St suite 401. Good luck.

Re: Serious Skin Care Advice Needed! (Feb 2005)
A year and a half ago I sought the same advice on Berkeley Parents. I had sun damage, redness, acne scars, and continuing acne flareups. I ended up visiting Dr. Elizabeth Lee in Berkeley, and starting the Obagi Nu Derm prescription skin care regimen. I cannot believe the difference it has made. I went to her wanting a laser peel and now I don't need one. I just religiously use these products. My skin looks beautiful and friends are always asking what I've done. My husband, who is generally skeptical about ''beauty products,'' says I look ten years younger. I agree. joyful

Re: Tummy Tuck (June 2003)
I had a ''tummy tuck'' about 6 months ago. Dr. Elizabeth Lee was my surgeon and I couldn't recommend her more highly - she's great.

She was very thorough in answering all my questions and telling me what the procedure entailed prior to the surgery, and has followed up post-operatively very conscientiously. I too had lots of excess skin and many many stretch marks, due to my two ten pound babies two years apart. No amount of exercise or dieting was going to fix these problems. No clothes fit me properly because my figure was so out of proportion. I also decided that I didn't want to look matronly at 40 if I could help it.

It is major surgery, and it will take some time to recuperate. However, I had my surgery on November 16, and I finished painting my kitchen before Thanksgiving (although I'm sure Dr. Lee would not have approved had she known).

Six months out the scar is fading quickly and, if I do say so myself, my waist looks fabulous. Our house is currently being remodeled and I can work next to the tradesmen and keep up with them. In fact, I think my abdomen is much stronger than before because the separation between my abdominal muscles around my belly button has been repaired. Also, Dr. Lee gave me an ''inny'' belly button - something I never had but always wanted.

Dr. Lee's phone number is 510-704-2170. She's on Regent Street in Berkeley near Alta Bates. Good Luck!

Re: Tummy Tuck (June 2003)
I highly recommend my surgeon, Dr. Elizabeth Slass Lee. She did a wonderful job and her bedside manner is excellent. She spends lots of time with me at each appointment, answers all of my questions thoroughly and makes me feel like my health is her top priority. Here's her contact information: Dr. Elizabeth Lee, 2999 Regent Street, Suite 401, Berkeley, CA 94705, 510-704- 2170. She has a website at www.artfulsurgery.com. If you want to talk more about my experience with the procedure, the recovery or Dr. Lee, email me with your telephone number. I'd be happy to call you. KandD

Re: Breast Augmentation (June 2003)
Though I have recently had just the reverse operation (breast reduction), I'd like to second the recoomendations for Dr. Elizabeth Lee. She's a gifted surgeon and doctor, and I'm extermely happy not only with the results - but also with the process. Dr. Lee does magic with her hands, and has that rare gift of really listening to what the patient has to say. She has been tremendously supportive and accessible. For me that meant that she listened to what I had to say about my desired breast size; a common complaint among breast reduction patients is that their breasts were still too large post-op. She's on Regent's St. in Berkeley across from Alta Bates. Phone # 704-2170. Or check her website at http://www.esleemd.medem.com/

Re: Considering breast reduction - any recommendations? (July 2003)
Dr. Elizabeh Lee performed my breast reduction surgery several weeks ago, and I can't recommend her enough. She's a gifted surgeon and doctor, and I'm extermely happy not only with the results - but also with the process. Dr. Lee does magic with her hands, and has that rare gift to *really* listen to what the patient has to say. She has been tremendously supportive and accessible. For me that meant that she listened to what I had to say about my desired breast size; a common complaint among breast reduction patients is that their breasts are too large post-op. Not in my case! In addition, since this was a repeat surgery for me (I had one pre-kids 15 years ago), I was at a higher risk to lose my nipples as a result of the surgery; Dr. Lee frankly explained the risks, and took extra care while operating. I emerged intact.

As for recovery: the first week is the toughest, and you should expect to be in pain for the first several days, and uncomfortable for another couple of weeks. If you have kids, I recommend to have full time help for the first week; after a few days you'll be able to do stuff around the house, but will be tired. Also, you won't be able to drive for the first week, or as long as you're on prescription pain killers. I didn't regain my stamina fully until about 4 weeks after my operation, and just took it a little bit easier. However, at 6 weeks I stepped on a plane alone with my two young kids for a trans- atlantic flight. And after spending a week in a very hot and humid place, I am thankful daily to Dr. Lee for taking that extra weight off my shoulders! She's on Regent's St. in Berkeley across from Alta Bates. Phone # 704-2170. Or check her website at http://www.esleemd.medem.com/ If you'd like to get in touch with me you can do so through her office.

Re: Finished having kids, seriously considering breast reduction (March 2003)
Elizabeth Lee, M.D. in Berkeley is an excellent general plastic surgeon who also happens to have a sub-specialty in hand surgery. While I have not had breast reduction surgery (likely, I need breast enlargement), she sewed up some nasty lacerations on three of my fingers because my hand went (accidentally) through a window. The cuts were deep and my fingers are, essentially, scarless and fully functioning. She did a skin graft with my own skin, and the work is gorgeous. I think that she is an artist of sorts, and so she might be a good place to start re: cosmetic surgery consults. She is also highly thought of in the medical community. G Happy with the results

Re: Finished having kids, seriously considering breast reduction (March 2003)
I don't know if anyone has yet mentioned Dr. Elizabeth Lee. She's on Regent Street in Berkeley near Alta Bates. She's a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and I know she does lots of breast reduction surgeries. She did my abdominoplasty and it went extremely well (and looks great!). She's very personable and is also an excellent, highly-trained surgeon. I highly recommend her. Julie

Re: Botox (Aug 2002)
I am a plastic surgeon in Berkeley. I give Botox treatments frequently in my practice. I have also been treated myself. I love it from both sides. My patients are very pleased with the results. Botox is a non-surgical way to improve certain areas of facial wrinkling. The risks are minimal. It has also helped with my headaches and I love the way it looks. Please feel free to call or email the office for more information. 510 704-2170 drlee at artfulsurgery.com Elizabeth Lee
