He's Dr. Richard Clark. Since his 2 face lifts, I've had a 3rd by a doc in Seattle, which was a butcher job. Dr. Clark's work is careful and he's an artist. Also, both my face lifts by Clark were done with twilight sedation, wheras the Seattle doc insisted that I be put completely under, which I hate.

I was going to have fat transfer done, but I had some fat tranferred to the crease between my lower lip (including the regular skin) at the place where the chin begins to stick out. It was great, because that crease is so deep on me,and it also smoothed out the skin to each side, which has been bumpy (whyyyy?) all my life. However, in the everyday movement of my mouth, the fat just disappeared. I'm interested in the Verafil implant (see http://www.premierplasticsurgery.com/minimallyinvasive/fulfil.htm). It's a saline-filled sac that they run through your lip. I'm waiting for them to realize that lips have peaks & make little triangular pieces or shape the implant so you have a cupid's bow. I did have fat transplanted to my cheeks and it's still there (it's been about a year).

Awalk -- have you had fat transfer to your lips? I'd like to know how that turned out. Thanks.

I wrote an answer to this question last week. Did it not post?

I've called 4 or 5 places to get prices on permanent lip color and gotten prices from $300 to $800. I can't wrap my mind around this.
