Heather Lawson, DO

I considered having my lips done for quite some time I was very nervous and did not want them to look over done Dr. Lawson and her staff consulted with me for quite some time and knew exactly the look I was looking for which was a natural but more defined lip line.They were very professional and patient one of the nurses held my hand the whole time I must admit I was a big baby.

I paid Dr. Lawson $500 to inject filler in my lips. I gave very specific instructions where I wanted the filler to go: Put the filler right in the middle, at the cupids bow, then to fill in the bottom of my upper lip. She put absolutely none of the filler where I had asked, she actually put the filler in the area above my upper lip, and out to the sides. I actually have a "hole" or indentation right in the middle, where there is no filler. I could tell during the process she was not putting the filler in the correct location, but was so swollen when she finished I could not tell a thing. A few weeks after the injection when the swelling went down it was clear she injected it in the wrong area. I called her office and told them about the issue, but never received a call back. I then consulted with two Dr's and the pharmaceutical representative for that specific filler. In the words of one Dr., the filler was "injected in the wrong plane" "there is a significant imbalance of filler and everything needs to be dissolved". Both Dr's suggested that I will need to get everything dissolved and start over. I was quoted a price of around $2000 to do the corrections necessary, and it would take multiple visits. This is not only very painful, but will cost me more money and time off of work. I also need to note that I requested to the Dr. that she use a filler called Volbella, the Dr. told me she had a filler called Versa, that would work better. Well as it turns out, as the pharmaceutical rep told me, that Versa contains no lidocaine, which is why I was in excruciating pain during the injection. I was never informed of this, and would of refused it had I known. I am now left with deformed lips and face. I look much worse in person. I know this is embarrassing to leave a comment like this, and even post photos of it. I wish more women would stand up and post reviews from these bad injectors, I could have possible avoided this catastrophe. That is why I am putting myself out there and posting this review!
