I am very pleased with the results of my procedure with Dr. Lin. From the very start, he answered all of my questions and was easy to communicate with. I felt very comfortable and safe in his hands, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, kind, and warm doctor.
I had Dr. Lin for two different cosmetic procedures and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking into getting cosmetics done. From the very beginning it was an incredible experience. He was always very helpful and patient in answering all the questions I asked him (there was over 30!) and he is great at making you feel comfortable and heard. One of the things I loved about him is he doesn’t sugarcoat things to you and explains everything in as many different ways as you need so you fully understand everything. He gives you the best advice so that you may have the best possible outcomes. He checks in with you many times before surgery to make sure you are feeling good about your decision and is always reachable to you. The day of surgery went so smoothly. He has the very best team that takes care of everything from the IVs to placing the marks so that you are the least stressed as possible. I had no complications and I am in love with the results. I am in awe everyday with my new body and it is all thanks to Dr. Lin!
I am writing this letter as a follow up to my daughter, Angela’s, Rhinoplasty and deviated septum surgery in August. Knowing that you have so many patients, I will try to familiarize you with her situation. She had, at this point in time, just completed her freshman year in college and was about to transfer to San Francisco. She came to you primarily to have nose surgery. As a parent, I always believed that my daughter was a beautiful young woman. However, my husband and I supported her in her decision to have her nose “fixed”. She had a minor bump and had been the subject of bullying in high school and middle school because of her nose. As bright and as talented as my daughter was, her confidence in her appearance and in other aspects of her life had been compromised. She had a very successful surgery at your gifted hands. You were able to repair her deviated septum but, more importantly, you were able to shave down the bump and sculpt her nose. What a beautiful job! She just graduated, Cum-Laude, from college with a degree in Public Relations/Political Science. She is staying in San Francisco and has a job with a communications firm. I recently asked her what professor made the biggest impact on her college career and she quickly replied that, “It wasn’t a professor; it was Dr. Lin”. She went on to tell me in a mother/daughter conversation that Dr. Lin “made me realize that I wasn’t ugly”. This comment tugged at my heartstrings, but I wanted you to know that you were directly responsible for restoring her confidence in herself. We are very proud of her as she begins her career. She is a happy, vibrant, and accomplished young woman. You were a huge part of her success! Hope that all in well with you. Enclosed is a picture of her at her graduation. Thank you for your part in her happiness! Thank you so very much for your brilliant work!
I just wanted to extend my sincere thanks for the compassionate and skillful care you-and your team-have provided my spouse during her nose reconstruction. I have watched her regain her confidence, and spirit, with each healing day that passes. It is thanks to your skill that she did not have to go through the forehead flap procedure, and thanks to you that she is healing beautifully! Your caring and gentle nature transformed her nervousness and uncertainty into courage and confidence. Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do!
My visit to you on July 14 turned out to be bittersweet! I am thrilled at how well my nose healed – however, every time I visited your office it was a shot in the arm. You and your staff could not have been more supportive and encouraging. I will be forever grateful.
During my last two visits with you, there was so much for me to process with my new nose, that I never thanked you properly for all that you did. I could not be happier with the results. For the first time, I can breathe and the cosmetic outcome is perfection. You cannot see the suture line! Your work is impeccable. I am very grateful to you, and it will be a pleasure to recommend you to my friends and colleagues.
Dear Dr. Lin,
I really appreciate the time and effort you took into making my nose surgery a success. You made me feel so comfortable and I couldn’t be happier with my results! Thank you for helping me get my confidence back. You are truly an incredible doctor.
Thank you so much for the great work you did on my breast reduction. I can’t tell you how much happier (not to mention easier) my life is now, and I have you to thank. I have been recommending you to everyone who asks, and I will continue to do so. Keep up the great work!
When I took off the bandages and the surgical bra and looked in the mirror, for the first time since my mastectomy cancer was not looking back at me. Thank you so much. I am proud and always have been to be a cancer survivor. It is like a badge of honor that reminds me when I doubt myself I can do whatever I have to. However before the surgery I didn’t feel like I looked the same. Not only am I proud to say I am a breast cancer survivor, but I also thanks to you look better than I did before. May God bless you and your family. Please enjoy the cookies that my daughter and I made. Thanks again.
Just wanted to drop a quick line to tell you how grateful I am for your recently performed surgery. I feel fantastic, look awesome and only wish I had done it sooner. A-One service by all. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful.
I’m so grateful for all you’ve done for me this year – thank you. Merry Christmas!

I suffered from a deviated septum as a result of an accident. For almost 10 months, I had trouble breathing through the right side of my nose as it was almost completely blocked due to the deviated septum. I could not even sleep through the night due to this and I was in a lot of discomfort for a long time. Dr. Lin and his entire team were absolutely fantastic right from the initial consult to the surgery and even through the follow-ups. I ran into issues with my insurance while trying to get pre-approval for the surgery and Dr. Lin and his team constantly stayed in touch with me and stayed on top of the issue and worked with my insurance company to resolve the issues ASAP and helped me get the necessary pre-approvals for the surgery. I have felt so much better since the surgery and can finally breathe through the nose again. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lin without any hesitations. He is very empathetic and paid personal attention throughout my journey.
Dr Lin is one of the best teacher in the whole world.He has helped me a lot to discover myself and my passion for plastic surgery.He has made the subject so interesting that I am now now determined to put my best efforts to match into this residency one day. He was very friendly and was patient enough to answer each and every doubts we had, no matter how silly they seemed to be. I felt like days were flying and we were getting more connected emotionally to this great personality. I got a chance to see numerous surgical videos and also could learn many new concepts. The best qualities of Dr Lin is that he is so much dedicated in teaching his students and motivating them to pursue their dreams. He made me understand the need for being updated and trying to be familiar with every new techniques in surgery as well as medicine. Attending Plastic surgery virtual classes with him is one of the best decisions I ever made during the pandemic and my whole life.. Can never thank him enough.
My journey to cosmetic surgery really began as a young woman. I’ve always enjoyed and taken pride in looking my best. I wear makeup and nice clothes to enhance my appearance. Now at age 67, I thought my face looked tired, my neck, eyelids and jowls sagged. I had a few more wrinkles and age lines than before, and the compliments I received were now fewer. I promised myself as a young woman that when the time was right for me, I would regain that feeling of youth and turn back the clock a little with the help of cosmetic surgery. In early 2020, I decided that the time for me was now. In July 2020, Dr. Samuel Lin performed a face and neck lift and upper eyelid surgery. The results were simply amazing! Dr. Lin has taken at least 10 years off my appearance. At age 67 I am now often mistaken for my early 50s. I smile every day when I look into the mirror and know that this was among the best decisions I ever made for me! Was the pain worth the outcome? A resounding, yes! The most pain I experienced was during the first 2-3 days, but the pain medication made it comfortable and manageable. After 7 days the occasional Tylenol was enough. Dr. Lin is an extremely talented plastic surgeon. His credentials speak volumes to this and I promise you, I did my research. Dr. Lin was patient, professional, and took time to respond to all my concerns and questions; I would not hesitate to recommend him for any of your cosmetic needs. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results. I must also acknowledge Dr. Lin’s Administrative Assistant, Stacy Agbonifo for her outstanding and exceptional assistance throughout the administrative procedural process from booking appointments, completing paperwork, to preparing for my surgery. Her professionalism, willingness to help, and warm personality put me at ease. I’ve had so many positive comments about my appearance and even received second glances from strangers and friends. It is wonderful to feel young again! While I told my family and closest friend about my surgery, to the rest of the world, it will be our little secret. This was made possible by the skillful surgeon, Dr. Lin and his team with my resulting “natural” looking results. As the middle child, my sisters now jokingly call me their baby sister. Jean W.
It was a great learning experience even during the Covid 19 situation thanks to Dr. Samuel, I personally am very grateful for the Opportunity to have been able to improve my knowledge about the latest advances in skin grafting, bone grafting, implants and prosthesis. Dr Samuel is a awesome teacher, he gave us a lot of learning material during our clinical rotation and let us learn at our own pace, before this rotation my knowledge of plastic surgery was minimal at best..but after learning from Dr. Lin who is among the best in his field, i really got a thorough understand of the depth and scope of the field of plastic surgery. Overall it was excellent and also I would like to thank my fellow students during the rotation for asking so many interesting questions to Dr Lin, it was great working with many different people from many different backgrounds. All in all exceptional people everyone of them.
Had an amazing experience learning from Dr. Lin. He is knowledgable and passionate about plastic surgery. The course covered the depth and breath of plastic surgery. The course was cohesive and the lectures added and clarified the readings which help build the base of knowledge. I now know more about each of the different facets of plastic surgery, and this will serve me well in the future. Dr. Lin is a charismatic teacher and is so willing to answer questions. I would recommend any student with an interest in plastics to not miss this opportunity.
I had the opportunity met Dr. Samuel Lin in an online meetings to discuss different topics in plastic surgery and reconstruction. It was an enriching experience in a welcome environment that for sure add an updated knowledge. Thank you!!!
Since I was a young girl, I have always been self conscious of my nose. I hated taking pictures, I hated smiling because I felt like my nose took over my face. I would get bullied and was always told “ i’d be more attractive with a smaller nose” I would go on these trips and would have an amazing time only to come home and look at photos of me later to ciriticisze and cry over. Finally at 30, I decided enough is enough and to get Rhinoplasty. It has been a just about 3 months since my surgery with Dr. Samuel Lin and I am over the moon with the results. Not only am I super confident but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and bedside manner :).
I joined the tele health rotation with Dr. Lin to get a broader sense of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the U.S. Dr. Lin has been very patient and involved throughout, even after a long day at work which in most cases was every other day. This gave me an idea of the patient and procedures performed on a daily basis at the BI and the videos and discussions further added to my interest in the program and branch.
