Excellent Surgeon! - Saint Petersburg, FL

Dear Chellamia, Thank you for coming in with your friend and making appointments. I look forward to seeing you both. I remember feeling badly for you a few years ago because I understand how frustrating it can be to pay your hard earned money and not see the results that you wanted. As I mentioned back then, I use Silikon 1000 very frequently for lip enhancement but it has to be explained to the patient that multiple treatments may be necessary. That way, the patient understands the total expenditure and can decide for themselves whether it is right for them. I do promise you that I will spend time with you and with your friend and will go over your options with you. I try hard to give patients the results they are seeking within a budget that they can afford. I look forward to seeing you next month. Best wishes until then.

I am a big fan of Silikon 1000 injections for lip augmentation. If you are disappointed, you may not have had enough injected the 1st time. Certainly, you could have injections with a different filler such as Juvederm which might have given you more volume, perhaps for less money. But the results would have only lasted 6-12 months, compared with Silikon 1000 where the results are PERMANENT. It often require a few injections with Silikon 1000 to achieve he results you want. Another alternative is the Perma Facial Implant, the results of which are also permanent. I have had a number of happy patients after this procedure too.

Yes. Of course you can get Perma Facial Implants for permanent lip augmentation, despite having had Silicon 1000 lip injections. I actually have had very good results and very happy patients with these implants. That said, I have also had very good results with Silikon 1000. I think the problem is that you had a very minute amount injected and, quite honestly, your MD charged considerably more for the amount injected than I would have. But we are in different areas and there may be geographic price variation. Good luck!
