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 went to see Dr. Lin about a rhinoplasty, which I’d been thinking about for years. Dr. Lin took alot of time to discuss exactly what I wanted and how my nose could be improved. When his office called with a surgical date, some of my family members were against it because they thought my nose was fine as it was. I started to doubt that I should go through with it. But then I told myself that at age 60, it was now or never and that I’d always wonder if I should have done it. Also, my husband objected because the surgical date, which had opened up due to a cancellation, was only 10 days away from a plane flight that we needed to take for an event. He felt that I’d be bruised and would ruin any photographs of us. After convincing him it would be fine, I scheduled the surgery. The surgery went like clockwork. Afterwards there was very little pain. I had some bruising but by the time I boarded the plan 10 days later, it was completely gone. It can be a little scary to have a rhinoplasty because you don’t know exactly how you’ll look. Plastic surgery is an art as well as a science and Dr. Lin has the talent, skill, and experience to do a very natural looking, excellent job. I’m very happy with the result and would highly recommend Dr. Lin.
Nine years ago I had a melanoma removed from my nose which left two large divots and an unsightly vertical scar. It bothered me significantly. I considered taking remedial measures, and both my dermatologist and spouse were encouraging. After the scars healed, I consulted a cosmetic surgery institute. The institute recommended that I consult with a plastic surgeon and provided me with a few surgeons’ names. I procrastinated for a couple of years, and when I was ready to proceed, Dr. Linn was the second surgeon I consulted with. From the moment we met, Dr. Linn was supportive and informative. He was also encouraged that a significant amount of time had passed since the chemotherapy and punch biopsies were performed because this gave him a more flexible scar to work with. His professional manner and presentation of the procedure gave me confidence to proceed with corrective plastic surgery. His entire team was equally professional. One nurse even identified a stitch issue from a phone photo. All in all, my experience was positive and my scar was minimized significantly. To me, Dr. Linn is “The Best!”

My experience with Dr. Lin and his team far exceeded my expectations. This was my third time having a septoplasty/rhinoplasty (previous experiences were 20 and 25 years ago), so I felt confident in knowing what I was and was not looking for. Because neither of the previous surgeries were truly successful, I decided if I were to do this again, I was going to someone I trust. I must confess, I know Dr. Lin from outside of his medical practice, so having confidence in his work was never a question for me. Prior to meeting with Dr. Lin to discuss my procedure, I spent time thinking about what was most important to me and what was the outcome I hoped to have. During my consultation, we discussed these priorities and concerns in detail; breathing better was most important and I also hoped for some minor enhancements to the outer appearance of my nose. I was explicit about what I hoped could be changed, but left it up to Dr. Lin to do what would look best once he was operating on me. Even though I had been through two surgeries before, Dr. Lin spent a considerable amount of time talking to me about the full extent of the procedure, as well as walking me through the recovery period. Prior to surgery we reconfirmed what we had discussed, which made me even more relaxed and confident that I had made the right choice. The team from start to finish, both in the office and at the hospital, were supportive, thoughtful, and thorough. If you’re looking for an experienced, honest surgeon, I give Dr. Lin my highest recommendation.
Imagine you were raised on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Hibiscus and acacia trees lined the streets. You could see the beauty, yet it could not be fully appreciated. You had a 70 % deficit on your ability to take all the scents in. Then you learned that was a procedure in a distant land that could correct all of that. So I gave it a try. You know that there are decisions in one’s life that are dumb. And there are decisions that are life changing. Having undergone septoplasty to correct a deviated septum allowed me to inhale and breathe to full capacity. Indeed, it has been an exhilarating experience. I can now go back and fully appreciate the hibiscus and birds of paradise fragrances. Thank you Dr. Samuel Lin for making that possible!
