Our Philosophy

At PERK Plastic Surgery, we abide by three simple rules for the practice of aesthetics

  • Do no harm: Safety is sacred. Every decision begins with anatomy, evidence, and integrity. We advance the frontier of aesthetics with the safest yet most refined techniques.
  • Create natural and long-lasting beauty: True beauty transcends trends. Our signature approach restores your structure, balance, and vitality.
  • Relentless Pursuit of Excellence: Perfection is a discipline. From aesthetic outcome to patient experience, every detail is studied, refined, and executed with intention.

Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Lee specializes in facial aesthetic surgery and is a perfectionist in creating natural and harmonious results. From hidden incisions to subtle changes, Dr. Lee focuses on millimeter level details to contour and rejuvenate the face. Whether the right procedure is a brow lift to raise a sagging brow, blepharoplasty to refresh the eyes, a facelift to unwind ten years off the clock, a neck lift to sculpt an aging jawline or chin augmentation to balance the face, every facial aesthetic procedure is bespoke and designed based on your unique anatomy.

Did you know?

Dr. Lee believes that knowledge is empowerment, and she is passionate about education before any treatment. She will thoroughly explore your options with you. We will make sure you understand the timing, risks, benefits, recovery, and expected outcomes for your procedure.

Beauty is a collective experience

“There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.”

One of the causes close to Dr. Lee’s heart is Fresh Start Surgical Gifts. This is a San Diego-based nonprofit charity for children. The mission of the non-profit is to help children with deformities through reconstructive plastic surgery. Dr. Lee was first involved in the organization when she was in high school in San Diego. Together with other local artists, they put on multiple musical concerts to raise awareness and funds for the organization. We encourage you to learn more about this wonderful cause. www.FreshStart.org
