Born in December 1970, in Queens, New York, Lee graduated medical school at the Drexel University College of Medicine in 1998. And the 51-year old completed her dermatology residency at Southern Illinois University. She then moved to San Diego to take her career to the next level, by exploring as well as experimenting with dermatological and cosmetic surgery.
