Dr. S. Darrell Lee

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon | Founder & CEO

Dr. S. Darrell Lee is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and the founder and CEO of Lee Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa. With more than 25 years in practice, Dr. Lee has built his surgical practice around individualized treatment, advanced surgical techniques and natural-looking results.

His approach begins with understanding each patient’s anatomy, concerns and goals. Rather than treating every patient with the same procedure or technique, Dr. Lee develops a surgical plan based on what is appropriate for the individual.

The goal is refined, balanced results that help patients look refreshed while still looking like themselves.

Dr. Lee’s Surgical Philosophy

Dr. Lee believes that successful plastic surgery is about more than performing a procedure. It is about understanding anatomy, planning carefully and paying attention to the details that influence the final result.

During a consultation, Dr. Lee evaluates the patient’s individual features, proportions, skin quality and areas of concern before recommending an appropriate surgical approach.

His philosophy is centered on creating results that are natural, proportionate and individualized.

Facelift & Facial Rejuvenation

Facelift surgery is an important focus of Dr. Lee’s surgical practice.

He performs advanced facelift and neck lift procedures, including deep plane and SMAS facelift techniques, when appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and goals.

A facelift can address changes such as:

• Facial laxity
• Jowling
• Loss of jawline definition
• Lower-face aging
• Changes in the neck
• Descent of facial tissues

Dr. Lee evaluates the face and neck together when developing a facial rejuvenation plan. Depending on the patient, facial surgery may include a facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty or brow lift, either individually or in combination.

The objective is to restore facial definition and a refreshed appearance while preserving the patient’s natural character.

Dr. Lee’s Signature Approach

Choosing a plastic surgeon means knowing not only who is responsible for your care, but also who is actually performing your surgery.

Dr. Lee personally performs his surgical procedures from start to finish. He is directly involved in the surgical execution of the procedure, including his own suturing.

For Dr. Lee, this hands-on approach is an important part of his surgical philosophy. He believes that the details matter—from the initial surgical plan to the final stitch.

Deep Plane Facelift

For appropriately selected patients, Dr. Lee may recommend a deep plane facelift to address changes in the deeper facial tissues and restore facial definition.

A deep plane approach may address:

• Midface descent
• Jowling
• Lower-face laxity
• Jawline definition
• Facial tissue descent
• Changes extending into the neck

Not every patient requires the same facelift technique. Dr. Lee evaluates each patient’s anatomy and goals before determining which surgical approach is appropriate.

Neck Lift & Neck Rejuvenation

The neck plays an important role in facial appearance, and Dr. Lee evaluates the face and neck together when planning facial rejuvenation.

For appropriate patients, his deep plane neck lift approach addresses the underlying structures contributing to neck laxity and definition. The platysma can be resuspended into a more natural position, while submental liposuction and skin tightening may be incorporated when appropriate.

The goal is a more defined jawline and smoother transition from the face into the neck without creating an unnatural or overly tightened appearance.

Eyelid & Brow Surgery

The eyes can have a significant influence on the overall appearance of the face.

Dr. Lee performs upper and lower blepharoplasty and brow lift procedures to address concerns related to the eyelids and brow.

Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, these procedures may be performed independently or as part of a broader facial rejuvenation plan.

Breast Surgery

Dr. Lee performs a range of breast procedures with an emphasis on proportion, shape and individualized surgical planning.

His breast procedures include:

• Breast augmentation
• Breast lift
• Breast augmentation with lift
• Breast revision
• Breast re-augmentation

Breast Revision & Re-Augmentation

Revision breast surgery can require a different level of surgical planning than a first-time breast augmentation.

When a patient returns for re-augmentation, simply replacing the implants may not address the underlying issue. Depending on the circumstances, adjustments to the existing implant pocket may be necessary to improve implant position, symmetry, shape or support.

Dr. Lee evaluates the existing pocket and surrounding tissues and determines what surgical work is necessary for the individual patient.

His surgical procedures include:

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
• Liposuction
• Lipo 360
• Body Lift
• Thigh Lift
• Brachioplasty
• Backplasty

Each procedure is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, concerns and desired outcome.
