I tried a fat transfer into the lips but it didn't stay.

Updated on 19 Aug 2011:
First I have to point out that I have had an awful experiences at multiple plastic surgeons offices in Beverly Hills. It's not only that I've been going through a failed procedures over and over because I've seen dishonesty as well. Hollywood is a jungle so I've been wondering where I can find honest, down to earth and critical perfectionist who takes the time to analyze my expectations. Based on my history, I wasn't in the happy camp when I went to see Dr Svehlak February 2011. I was critical in every possible way but - hands down - he gave me The Best Consultation what I ever received in my entire 50' life. I was thinking: "Oh, boy... Dr Svehlak really knows what he's doing but even so, I was skeptical. I've had multiple consultation with charismatic plastic surgeons and even they sounds extremely professional, it doesn't prove anything. I learned soon that Dr Svehlak has a great portfolio so his excellent work spoke strongly for him and top of that I truly like him. He is warm, smart and confident person and the most important; he made me feel safe.

I followed my gut feeling, booked a surgery and wow... what a pleasant experience. Dr Svehlak fixed my unbalance face with a light minilift and - honestly - he gave me an amazing result. He performed a ear reduction as well and outcome is beyond expectation. I never thought that after all damages by other doctors I can pull my hair back with confidence. He also performed a Lift Lip ($2750) and I absolutely love the result. I was blessed to find the most best surgeon in Hollywood so I highly recommend Dr Steven Svehlak.

Hi Ladies, Like I told you Dr Steven Svehlak is The Most Best plastic surgeon in Hollywood. I still LOVE my result over all and especially my Lips. These are Before and After pictures of me. After pictures: week after procedure, at the same day when stitches removed:)

I just talked with Dr Svehlak' lovely assistant about my surgery over all so I would like to point out cost of the Lip Lift. I had a multiple procedures at the same time so my price of the Lip Lift was naturally lower than an individual operation. Cost of Lip Lift by Dr Svehlak is $4500 but it gives you a permanent result so it's definitely worth it:)

Hi girls, these are my final pics by March 2012 and I am still extremely happy about result. Thank you so much Dr Svehlak:)

Hi snow, 

Sometimes we have to follow our gut no matter how scary it is. I'm glad you did and everything turned out so well. We'd love to see pictures. 

Thanks for the review,

-Britt

Snow, So glad to hear that you are happy with your results. I can not wait to see your before and after photos. Ville
VILLE331 17 Sep 2011
Wow, congratulations you look great. You scar is barely noticeable already. Someone on this board recommended a site that shows a photo of a patient who had a similar incision placement as yours. While it is a nice photo, it appears that the scar healed thicker than yours and is therefore more noticeable. Everyone heals differently. Did you do anything special in prep for surgery to help with swelling and healing? Thanks for sharing with us.
snowprincess 18 Sep 2011
I did absolutely nothing and procedure was easy. I guess I got a great "lift" because distance between my nose and lips were long enough. Incision was thin and it faded amazingly fast so it's barely there:)

Wow! You look great! Your lucky your lips had such a great shape to begin with. This was a perfect procedure for you it looks so natural and makes you look lots younger!

I had a lip lift 3 weeks ago and my scar is barely noticeable, but I still have swelling in the insicion and numbness over the scar are you experiencing this too?
snowprincess 19 Sep 2011
Thanks:)
snowprincess 19 Sep 2011
I guess everyone's healing a different way and numbness is part of the healing process. It's go away after 2-4 months...
Paris9127 1 Oct 2011
Great result. Your surgeon is really good!
snowprincess 3 Oct 2011
Thank you, Paris. Dr Svehlak is really good surgeon and top of that he is kind and humble. It's rare combination in Hollywood:)
Paris9127 4 Oct 2011
Oh, not in Hollywood only, here too :))
Paris9127 7 Oct 2011
snowprincess,
Could you explain, what has been done with your upper lip: is just the skin has been shorted or surgeon worked on the muscles too?
snowprincess 7 Oct 2011

Hi Paris. Dr Svehlak cut off the skin and part of the muscles as well. That's the reason of numbness and remember, you have no same upper lip movement right after surgery. Anyhow it's a temporary loss because healing process is fast. Few months later you don't even remember surgery was done. I guess surgeon has to go deep enough for a permanent Lip Lift result. If you want more specific info, please email *******@*******************.com

Paris9127 8 Oct 2011
Snowprincess, thanks a lot for your reply.
I gonna see my surgeon at the end of october, I will ask him if he use the same surgical procedure as Dr Svehlak. Seems, during our 1th rendez-vous qui was talking about skin cut only... But I agree, with muscles cut this surgery must be much more effective.
nennen87 21 Oct 2011
snowprincess, your result is fantastic! I have a very similar case to yours... my lips is a pretty much the same shape as you had before. Would you mind tell us if there is something that was done with your lower lip? Thanks!
snowprincess 22 Oct 2011
Thank you, nennen. Funny you're asking this because honestly, I was wondering my lower lip when I saw these pics. It looks fuller even I did absolutely nothing. The only reason what I figured out, it must be my favorite Lip Stain by Maybelline:)
nennen87 23 Oct 2011
Wow! That's great! Probably since your upper lip higher right now lower looks biger... you're lucky! Hope it will work for me as well :)))
snowprincess 23 Oct 2011
Oh... or actually I have a second thought. I had a fat transfer into the lips earlier but I was thinking it didn't work and that was the reason I wanted to get a Lip Lift as well. Anyhow maybe a fat transfer gave me nice result because both of my lips looks lil fuller. I'm not sure about timing but I guess those before picks are taken before a fat transfer and a Lip Lift by Dr Svehlak.

It looks as if we share almost the same measurement from base of nose to upper lip. Do you know how many cm's your upper lip was preop, and what it is now?
Thank You, Looks positively beautiful, Congrats!
bgdoglvr 10 Dec 2011
Thanks so much for the photos. Do you mind me asking if you had anything done to lift the outer corners of your mouth? They seem more upturned. And did you have any filler in your cheekbones? They're lovely. Thanks for any feedback.

I spent $10,000 here in NYC. Upper lift and a lip reduction. Yours is fabulous. I developed scar tissue again inside the lower lip. I've had two steroid injections in the last few months. I would've thought that la would've been much more exp.

SnowPrincess,
Happy New Year! I hope all is well. I was wondering if you would post new photos of your lips/scar sans makeup , now that you are several months postsurgery. Your scar was barely noticeable on your firt post. I would like to see what it looks like now
and to see if you lip has dropped any. Sincerely, Ville
snowprincess 18 Jan 2012
Happy New Year to you as well, Ville, and thanks for reminding me. I have been lazy lately but I'm planning to go see Dr Svehlak and hopefully we can take some picks on my next appointment. There is a small scar on the right side under the nose what I'm planning to remove... left side is perfect. I guess I got this scar because underneath suture melted slowly, especially a knot. Dr Svehlak used very thin suture but it's obvious that every patient heals a different way. Shape of the lip is still BEAUTIFUL but please use your own judgment when I'll post a final pics:)
