  • Posted to Removal of Silicone and Scar Tissue From Lips - Dallas, TX on 13 Feb 2013

    I would say every case is different and it depends on what you're beginning with, the amount of silicone and scar tissue to remove. Everyone's healing time is different and a lot can depend on how you care for yourself during your healing phase. I think a year in my case but everyone is different and I would defer to the doctor in this case.

    Dr. Benjamin Bassichis, M.D., in Dallas Texas. He is fantastic.

    I had quite a lot of scar tissue and silicone to deal with. The first surgeries were performed using local anesthesia. With the lips being such a sensitive area and my comfort level only tolerating a limited amount of surgical time, my situation required additional surgery. Consequently, my doctor, Dr. Benjamin Bassichis, M.D., performed multiple sugeries; however, I would do it all over again because it was worth it 100 percent and he did an amazing job.

    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.
