Douglas W. Reavie, MD (retired)

I got 4cc in the top lip and 3cc in the bottom.
I’m a hairdresser and love makeup, Really wanted fuller lips. Wouldn’t leave the house without lipstick and over lining my lips. Wished I could go out of the house without anything and they’d be fuller naturally. Really hoping it lasts!!
Got it done by Dr. Reavie in Rancho Berndo

Look at my notebook, I have all the photos of recovery in the 1st month. It’s been 29 days and I’m not sure if the swelling is still going down but I hope not.

As long as they keep going down, my lips are perfect.

Had rhinoplasty so that’s why my nose is a mess. But my lips are 7 weeks tomorrow. I love them and they haven’t changed much in the last couple weeks.

7 weeks post op fat transfer to my lips and I think they’re perfect. They say I won’t know how stable they are until three months so we’ll see I’ll keep updating because I don’t see a lot of reviews on here for fat transfer to lips.

Found this before picture which has been hard to find without wearing lipstick or lipliner. I can see a big difference.

8 weeks and 1 day post op. Contemplating on continuing the review since I’ve gotten some negative comments on here. We’ll see tho, cause I love to see the difference and the journey.
Regardless, I love the results and that’s really all that matters

Nine weeks postop and not much has changed. I feel like they still look good and have been pretty much the same the last few weeks.

It will be a month on the 5th but today is 12 weeks post op fat transfer. Nothing has changed. My doctor says whatever is left at three months should be stable.

I feel like for the most part things have been stable. I love my lips, and really notice that I don’t put lipstick on as much as I used to. It was definitely worth it! I used to always at least use lip liner and now I don’t feel the need unless I want to play them up even more. I’d say they’ve been pretty much the same for about a month or so. Here some pics from last couple weeks

2 more days and it will be 4 months postop. Nothing has changed, and my lips look amazing. I’m actually glad they’re not bigger as I feel I would look weird. I think my lips are perfect! Here’s some more pics..

Still good!!

9 months postop and my lips are still nice and full and haven’t changed. Almost a year already!

I have been over drawing my top lip since jr high. I saw a lip lift on a plastic surgery reality show about 10 yrs ago and have been wanting one since. After seeing so many great results on RS i finally decided to do it.
I arrived at the Dr office at 12:30 and was taken back shortly after. Dr Reavie did a nerve block and I felt absolutely nothing. When the numbing wore off I would say the throbbing pain was at about a 5. I took 2 advil and have been feeling fine since. My nose and nostrils look giant and I would say thats the worst part

My philtrum and nose were so swollen this morning but I have been going out and doing things looking like a Dr Suess character. I'm back at work tomorrow so hopefully swelling will be down. I havent taken anything except advil and arnica

My nose is still swollen but getting better. I have a very small bruise in the middle of my upper lip.
I am putting a bandaid on a going to work. I wish I would have thought this out more and taken today off! Oh well, story of my life

Updated on 11 Jun 2017:
The swelling seems to be fully gone. I am kind of wishing that i had taken more off. Stitches out in 3 days and I cant wait

Updated on 14 Jun 2017:
Dr Reavie took my stitches out today and I cant believe how good the incision line looks. There is almost no visible scar.I will start using Biocorneum tomorrow.

I got a rhinoplasty with Dr. Reavie and I could not be happier with the way my nose looks, it is EXACTLY what I asked for and he made sure I was aware of all the changes that were going to be made (he explained each step of the surgery in detail). I got a tip reduction (i had a really bulbous tip), an alar base reduction, and my my dorsal hump was removed; it was a complicated surgery, but after only one week my nose already looked amazing even with the swelling (which wasn't much to begin with), and the scars disappeared almost immediately, it didn't even look like I had surgery! There was absolutely no pain at all, though I was prescribed pain medications just in case.
I am extremely pleased with Dr. Reavie and I feel extremely lucky to have come across him, so I definitely recommend him to anyone interested in rhinoplasty. The price was way more affordable than many other surgeons around the area and the results are even better than others with a much higher cost, so don't assume the price reflects a surgeon's work. He knows exactly what he's doing and what is best for each individual, you can tell Dr. Reavie cares about his patients and his job. I felt comfortable and safe at all times, as well as confident with my decision to undergo rhinoplasty even if I was very nervous at first, but after only one consultation I was feeling excited and ready to do it. He also was very flexible about the date and even changed things around so it would fit my schedule better, I seriously can't recommend him enough!
