YouTube Career
In 2010 Dr. Lee created her own YouTube channel, and though uploading several videos, never really paid it too much attention. However, five years later she noticed that a few of her skin extraction videos posted on Instagram were gaining a lot of attention, which eventually led her to post regularly on social media and YouTube. To get videos of dermatology procedures, she often asks for written client permission in exchange for discounted or free treatment. Her popularity grew further over the next few years, leading her to have over four million subscribers and over 1 billion views of her videos on YouTube.
She often posts videos of various dermatological procedures, sometimes several times in a week; her Twitter account is also used to promote some of her videos and recent surgical procedures. Her Instagram now functions similar to that of her YouTube account, showcasing photos and videos of some of the recent procedures she’s done.

The reality television series follows her as she deals with unusual cases of skin and facial disorders at her clinic called Skin Physicians & Surgeons located in Upland, California. Initially, the show was just an hour long special, before a high enough demand caused an entire season to be ordered. It was announced to have been renewed for a second season, set to air in 2019.

Personal Life
For her personal life, it is known that Dr. Sandra Lee is married to Dr. Jeffrey Rebish and the couple reside in Upland, California. They have two children together, but Lee has mentioned that her two children aren’t really fans of her work – one doesn’t really like to watch her videos, while the other barely watches it so that he doesn’t hurt his mother’s feelings. According to an interview, the idea for her channel came when she discovered that there were a significant number of people on Reddit discussing their interest in watching pimples popped, and so she decided to cater to it.
