Sai is very friendly, has excellent skills, and the whole experience was very comfortable.

I've had such a wonderful experience with Pauline! She's truly my favorite injector - her aesthetic eye, gentle approach, and attention to detail have made all the difference in my treatments. From the start, Pauline (RN) has made me feel at ease. I came in for Sculptra and was expecting at least some bruising (totally normal!), but I didn't bruise at all - which honestly speaks to her technique and gentle touch. Of course, results vary, but it was a great surprise. What I appreciate most is Pauline's aesthetic eye. She takes a thoughtful, long-term approach, never rushing or overdoing it. We've been slowly working to restore volume in a way that still feels like me - just a fresher version. I've also had PGF under my eyes (noticed a visible improvement!) and Botox, and have been happy with the results. If you're looking for someone with a light touch, sharp eye and kind presence, I can't recommend Pauline enough. And honestly, the best compliment I can give? Friends keep asking what I've been doing - because the results speak for themselves. So grateful to be in her care! read more

I had a lower blepharoplasty and Wave Lift (a lower facelift with endoscopic dissection and facial muscle repositioning) at Wave Plastic Surgery three months ago, and unfortunately, I've been very disappointed with the results. Originally, I went in for a consultation specifically for a lower blepharoplasty. However, during the appointment, both Verana and Dr. Peter Lee strongly encouraged me to also undergo the Wave Lift, stating it would create a more balanced and youthful overall result. Verana spoke highly of Dr. Lee's expertise, emphasizing his steady, skilled hand and how the Wave Lift allowed for precise repositioning of facial muscles, especially in the jaw and lower face, with minimal scarring. I was told that while it cost more, it was a long-term investment in my appearance and that I would be happy with the outcome. They also tried to upsell me on a chin augmentation, which I ultimately declined because it felt excessive for what I was initially seeking. While I understand that healing can take time, I'm still seeing issues that are hard to ignore. The right side of my face has several areas where it looks like fat was removed, leaving visible hollows, along with a small blemish-like bump and a dimple on my upper cheek -- none of which were there prior to surgery. I used to feel confident favoring that side of my face, but now I find myself covering it daily with makeup and my hair. The most troubling result has been the lower blepharoplasty. It seems excessive fat was removed from under my eyes, resulting in a sunken, hollowed appearance. Rather than looking refreshed and well-rested, I now appear more tired and aged -- exactly what I was hoping to avoid. My primary concern going into surgery -- clearly discussed during my pre-op consultation -- was the lower portion of my face. That's why I agreed to the Wave Lift. I had no interest in altering my upper cheek area, yet it now looks noticeably different in a way I never asked for. I'm also still seeing prominent buccal fat in the lower face, which I was told could be addressed, and I've developed unusual grooves at eye level on both sides that weren't present before surgery. I have a follow-up appointment scheduled and hope some of these concerns can be addressed, but I felt it was important to share my experience. I expected more natural, balanced results -- and a more thoughtful, patient-centered post-op process -- especially from a clinic with such a polished reputation.

On February this year, I had my first time sculptra treatment in Wave Plastic Surgery (Costa Mesa) with 1 vial. I clearly communicated with the nurse (Pauline Saria) and the sales (Vivian) that I wish to tighten the face without any puffy or filling effects, I strongly strengthened my cheeks are already too puffy thus I don't want anything to be added on. However, the injection of 1 vial sculptra was mostly done on my cheek area, which cause a severe swell on the same day. After one month, I can touch there is a gelosis (peanut size) below my right eye. The return visit was on early April with Pauline (RN) and Vivian (sales), Pauline touched my face and admitted that she might inject too much on the same area (below my right eye) neglecting my aggressive reaction on sculptra. She suggested that I can continue to observe the further result and gelosis may decrease. On July 22th, I had my second return visit since the gelosis was still there and my cheeks were swollen. Vivian scheduled Dr. Ben Lee for help. I clearly stated that the gelosis caused by sculptra was movable now. My right face was swallowed and cheek area was painful sometimes so I was so much worried about inflammation or scar tissue on my face. But Dr. Ben Lee completely ignored my concerns and simply said there's nothing they can do. The Dr. Ben Lee and Vivian didn't help me to identify why the gelosis caused or how to fix it, they just denied the failure injection and tried to blame me on my own body's "aggressive reaction to sculptra". The fact is I didn't have any fillers on my cheek area or under eyes and all my health reports were good. I was so angry that Dr. Ben Lee and Vivian's attitude was so irresponsible and unprofessional. The only thing they did was to avoid responsibility and denied their false. They completely ignored my statement and tried their best to obfuscating the issue. Vivian even denied that she had said "sculptra will help me with tightening up my face" when she was selling me. I appreciate Pauline admitted her mistake at my first return visit. But Dr Ben Lee and Vivian did nothing to help me or fix the incident. Currently I asked for a refund but Vivian said they don't have their manager's name card or email. She only gave me the official line number for waiting their call back. She refused to give me any help on getting refund or getting medical assistance. She said their clinic is only for treatment, it is not a place to get refund or consultant. It is so unreliable and unreasonable that customer need to take the responsibility for contacting all the departments to get refund while they had a medical malpractice read more

I recently visited the Costa Mesa clinic for Botox and lip filler and was scheduled with Mai. After carefully assessing my lips, Mai recommended starting with dissolving my existing filler. Over the years, I've had several syringes injected, and she noticed that some of the filler had migrated, especially above my upper lip. I was initially nervous about the dissolving process because I'd heard it could be quite painful, but Mai reassured me that any discomfort would be brief. She was absolutely right. Once the initial swelling subsided, I could already see a difference, my upper lip no longer looked overly projected from the migrated filler. I'm so glad I trusted her professional advice. About three weeks later, I returned for my new lip filler, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My lips look plump yet natural--exactly what I was hoping for. Mai is not only professional and knowledgeable, but she also has a gentle touch and a calming presence. In addition to that, the front desk staff was very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this location and booking with Mai! read more

I love Dr Peter Lee and all pa nurses and receptionists are super nice, gentle and professional! I had a nose job in Korea at a famous place where celebrities go but my nose didn't come out the way i expected so disappointed that it ruined my confidence cuz I had to get injections on my nose every once a year. BUT WHEN I MET DR. PETER LEE and I got my nose surgery again with him and the results came out perfect just the way i wanted, his an expert!. I also get face filler injections with wave and nurse Twi is very gentle when she injects me and results are perfect!. I would highly recommend Wave plastic surgery #1!!! read more

Over due review for Verana and Sai Sai is not only super knowledgeable and caring, but she's also an artist! I had an amazing Ultherapy session with her. And thank you my lovely consultant Verana for setting it up. When my friend recommended Ultherapy, I was a bit nervous about the pain I might feel based on her description. I mean, I'm pretty tough when it comes to pain, but I still had some doubts. Sai took her time explaining every steps to me. She talked about the process, what I could expect, and the technique she'd be using. Throughout the treatment, she made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. She even applied handheld massage to my muscles and added a massage pad to my waist. It was like she was treating me like a good friend! We talked and laughed during the treatment and I completely didn't feel any pain at all. And guess what? Two weeks later, I booked a follow-up treatment with her. Fast track two months later. And let me tell you, I'm so impressed with the natural results. It's like she's a miracle worker! Highly recommend. read more

Loose neck skin has always been a concern for me for years. Pauline introduced me to Sculptra (which initially I was not open to since I had a very bad experience with "fillers" on my face at a different provider years ago). Pauline instructed me to massage the area several times daily post Sculptra so as not to develop lumps. I followed her instructions and it resulted in a dramatic improvement overall. Pauline did a great job and I definitely will be coming back to her in the future. read more

I've been a loyal customer her for 5 years, but my latest experience here was so hurtful that I burst into tears in the clinic. I made an appointment to get my nose filler (I got the last one here 2 years ago) dissolved with hyaluronidase, in order to get a new one here the following week. I was told on the phone that there will be no extra charge since I got my filler here. When I arrived, however, I was charged $500 for the procedure. Their reason being it's been over 2 years and it's impossible for the filler to last that long, so I must've got a new filler somewhere else. Verana, the office manager Khoa, and Thuy came in to question me on whether the filler is really from Wave. Verana was especially rude and straight up said I must've got it somewhere else and suggested I was lying. I had no way of proving my innocence and was extremely hurt by their insinuation that I was lying. However, during my procedure, after Thuy injected 1 dose of hyaluronidase (the standard dose for most people), my filler wasn't dissolving. Then she injected another dose. My filler was still not fully dissolved. She said that in some rare cases, the body can encapsulate the filler, which prevents it from being absorbed, which explains why my filler was still intact after 2 years! So after treating me like a liar, wrongfully charging me $500, and claiming that it's impossible for the filler to last that long, they just contradicted their claim and what happened during my procedure proved that it is indeed possible and I was that rare case! When I confronted them, all they said was "well that's a rare case" This shows how incompetent and unprofessional they are. I'm extremely hurt by the way I was treated here. It literally brought me to tears. There was no apology from anyone for interrogating me for an hour and no refund for the $500 I was wrongfully charged. I have referred multiple friends and family to Wave, only to be treated this way. read more

I've recently had my upper eyelid surgery, buccal fat removal and face&necktite procedure done at Wave and I have to say... this is really a gift of a lifetime! From the moment I walked into the office, I can feel that I was in good hands. Staff are so friendly & welcoming, they made me feel like family and answered all my questions and concerns with great care. My surgeon is Dr. Lee, he is a real artist and a true master of his craft. He really took his time to fully understand my goals and concerns, and made sure that I was comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire process. The surgery was smooth, I was pretty surprised by how little pain I've experienced during and after the surgery. Most important of all, I'm just so thrilled by the incredible result! My eyes are a lot bigger, jawline a lot more defined and lower face a lot smoother. I can't thank Dr. Lee and the team at Wave enough for this amazing transformation & can't wait to get more things done here for my acne next! read more
