Many years ago I augmented my lips with silicone. Over time this resulted in much scar tissue development, leaving me with very disfigured lips.

Surgery for this issue petrified me. I didn't want to end up looking worse. I thought there was no way out and I would have to live like this. I was wrong.

Although it has taken multiple surgeries and has been a long process, my doctor has corrected this horrible problem for me. I am three weeks past what I believe is my final surgery. My doctor gave me back the lips I started with so long ago!!!! My cost is an estimate of the surgeries.

THERE IS NO REASON, NOTHING, THAT WOULD KEEP ME FROM DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

Helpful review?

My Doctor: Benjamin Bassichis, MD

My rating:

It has taken years to find a doctor and office that made me feel secure enough to move forward with this surgical procedure. This was a monumental decision for me. It is a minimum 5-hour roundtrip driving distance for me.

Welcome to RealSelf, Donna! Thank you so much for sharing your story. How are you feeling now?

Donna in East Texas 24 Nov 2011

Thank you, Sharon. I'm feeling great. Still recovering. It will be a long recovery this final time. The surgery was with general anesthesia which allowed the doctor the time and freedom to remove all the remaining silicone and scar tissue. The previous were with local. I've had my first round of steroid injections to combat scar tissue resulting from this surgery and will do that every month for at least six months. I'm ecstatic with the results even though the journey isn't yet complete.

Wow, it sounds like you've been through a lot already. Hopefully the worst is behind you now. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. :)

Yes, I have been through a lot; however, the 'worst' was actually thinking I had no choice but to live with the naive choice of having silicone put in my lips and the disfigurement it eventually followed.

It was when I found my doctor and made the brave step forward to remove the silicone that I began to experience freedom and hope. No worthwhile venture is always smooth and easy; and undoing damage never comes without a cost, but when the road is right all that really matters is starting the trip and staying the course, knowing its only a matter of time before you reach that final destination.

What surgeries did you have to correct this problem? Was one a lip reduction? I am looking to have something done to correct my lip as well. About 8 years ago I was injected with a silicone mixture and now it looks awful. It is very droopy and unnatural.

I had surgical removal of the silicone and scar tissue.
