I couldn't be happier! I had my procedure done today and was so excited. I'm even more excited now and loving my results. I expressed my desire and she came through! I have just the slight change I was hoping for. The incision looks hidden pretty well and the procedure went smoothly. Thanks, Dr. Whitaker, to you and your staff! By the way, the center is very inviting and uses top-level equipment, I was impressed with the prepping process. I highly recommend Atlanta Face and Body! Yes, I plan to return. I'll keep posting updates.

Soo, I couldn’t help but test out lipstick on my new pout and I must say, these lips are SEEXY! Still dealing with a ton of swelling though. I was so worried about the incision especially since having tough dark skin, but it’s not looking bad at all.

So much anxiety

It’s about 7 days and I’m having some regret. It’s still a little early so I’m not going to backtrack on my review but yet, I just hope that the bullhorn scar heals properly because it’s looked a little flicked. ??????I want to cry! I hope that I haven’t totally messed my face up with this procedure. I’m pretty sure that I’ll have to have to get scar revision procedure but we’ll see.

Don't worry! It is super early. I think you're going to do great! Scars there take a lot of time to fully improve. Use a nice silicone gel or silicone tape. I did both. When I followed up with my surgeon after a couple months, he injected a little steroid in a few places that needed it. Now I'm really happy. There are lots of options if needed. Your results are great!!

Thanks VictoriaM777! I hope you are right! I've already started doing my scar revision research and I'll definitely posts updates on that as well. Thanks again!

I feel like one day you wake up and suddenly things seem better. But not at least for three or four weeks. And it takes months for full effects

how much did you pay for it?
February 19, 2021
I paid 3,500

I agree it’s super early but definitely check in with your doctor for reassurance. Also, I would check with her before changing any treatment protocol. FWIW, my doctor recommends silicone cream as well but not until a few weeks post op. because it can actually interfere with the initial healing phase.

Phew! You guys are definitely making a feel a lot better! Thanks for the information!

Hi babe. I think it is way too early to tell! I recommend getting on Doctor mascaro’s calendar ASAP since his consults are booked out 9 months. By that time you will know if you’ll need to revise it. You can cancel if you feel you will no longer need it. But it will be good to get on his calendar just in case.
