Thank you for the wonderful compassionate care I received under your care. You and your staff are amazing. It is clear to me that you consider the impact of your work on a very nervous patient like me.
After meeting with several “top” plastic surgeons in the Boston area, my daughter and I unanimously selected Dr. Lin to perform her procedure. He could not have been better!!! He has a world-class background and a conservative thought process. In addition, he was incredibly supportive and comforting throughout. Needless to state, her outcome was as he planned and we are thrilled.
Excellent demeanor. Listened to my concerns and made suggestions that would be best for me. Very tuned in to the patient, not rushed or pushing his advice. A 5-star dr.
Based upon my own experience, Dr. Lin is a very talented and skilled surgeon. He was also very easy and pleasant to work with. He has a calm and reassuring manner about him and encouraged input from me which I appreciated. I would have no hesitation to return to Dr. Lin for future procedures and can highly recommend him!
My motivation for the eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) was medical in nature that is to assist with my peripheral vision. However it was also cosmetic as I am in my early to middle 50s. and my eyes clearly demonstrated my age…With Dr. Lin there were no cons, only pros involved in the entire process. Dr. Lin was highly professional, both in evaluating me as a candidate for these operations, in setting expectations, and during post-operative followups. The ultimate outcome, for both procedures, was outstanding. Thanks to Dr. Lin and staff, years were taken off my appearance, particularly around my eyes, and my nose has a much better shape. I’m very pleased w/ the outcome and would recommend Dr. Lin to anybody needing plastic surgery w/out reservation.
My experience with Dr. Lin was truly amazing. From the moment I met him I knew that he was the right surgeon for me. He is by far the nicest, most approachable and down to earth surgeon I have ever met. He is kind, caring, humble, takes time to listen to you, and explains everything/addresses concerns.

To begin my left nostril was 95% blocked. A great effort was required to blow my nose. Irrigate with saline, block right nostril and blow and rinse for several minutes. After much research I chose Dr. Samuel Lin to correct the problem with septoplasty and other procedures. 8 days after surgery, nasal splints are removed. The result are immediate relief and clear breathing through my nose for first time in a couple years. I followed the doctors protocol of saline rinsing, no blowing my nose, and not submerging under water. Also avoided pressure on nose or wearing glasses. My experience was life changing. I can breath freely and walking and running is easier. Sleep is vastly improved. I also had a mass at the back of my nose Dr. Lin observed and removed knowing it that would improve my breathing also. I had post nasal drip that is almost completely resolved also. Possibly from removal of the mass. I am thankful I chose Dr. Lin for my surgery. The staff here at Beth Israel Deaconess plastic surgery have all been helpful. Every minor irritant would cause my nose to clog up. Mowing the lawn and walking or driving in exhaust filled traffic. I have none of those issues now. I suggest following Dr. Lin's protocols for recovery to the letter for a completely successful outcome.August 12, 2025

Very amazing doctor! had a breathing issue and had previous surgery with another doctor but the issue wasn’t corrected. Dr.Lin understood my concerns and did an amazing job. He got rid of my bump and fixed my breathing issue.August 12, 2025

I had been struggling with breathing issues for quite some time and had already undergone two septoplasties in the past. When I met Dr. Lin, he was confident that he could improve my airflow and breathing. He performed my third septoplasty and placed a Latera prosthetic, and I am now able to breathe freely without obstruction. The entire process was smooth, and the nurses and staff were also wonderful, professional, attentive, and caring. I am very grateful for the excellent care I received from Dr. Lin and his team.August 12, 2025

Dr. Lin and his team were phenomenal. They always answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable and reassured. The use of the nurses phone line before and after my procedure was extremely helpful when I had questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Lin for his skill, professionalism, and kindness.August 12, 2025

Dr. Lin performed an abdominal scar revision for me following multiple laparotomies and a complex abdominal closure. Despite modest expectations that were set ahead of time, Dr. Lin successfully removed all visible scar tethering and was able to make the scar significantly narrower and less uncomfortable. I found him to be generous with his time. Most importantly, however, Dr. Lin is clearly a talented surgeon and I'd recommend him to others without reservation. It may be easier to get on his schedule in BIDN than in Boston - I was able to do that and was happy in Needham.July 29, 2025

I had a terrific experience with my staged breast reduction and bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction at this practice. The staff at the front desk, the nurses, PAs and Dr. Lin took excellent care of me through multiple procedures. I'd recommend this team and Beth Israel to anyone in my position. thank you to a great team!July 22, 2025

The most caring staff! I was treated with respect and dignity throughout the process it was a total partnership. My needs were always top priority. Thank you to Cally and the entire staff for always being the best cheerleaders. It is a journey and was glad that I had Dr. Lin as my doctor and guide.July 22, 2025

Dr Lin was a lifesaver, I couldn’t breathe at all out of my nose and he did a procedure and I can breathe again it’s amazing! I have started running again because it’s just made such a huge difference. I highly recommend Dr. Lynn for any nasal surgery.July 15, 2025

The process was very smooth. Everyone were very nice and caring. Made sure I feel okay before and after the surgery. All staff, including Dr. Lin, were very gentle and kept my privacy throughout the whole process. I'm very pleased with the results and the scar is not as visible as I thought it will be. So far it looks aesthetic and flat.July 15, 2025
