Good Results

I feel I should disclose that I had a tentative date held to get a revision in a week by Dr. Rex Moulton Barrett depending how my appointment yesterday went. After I saw him yesterday I felt so assured that he also wanted my outcome and my health (eating is a problem with the scar) to be beautiful and we both were on the same page. Maybe the other times he had been busy and I felt dismissed? This was the first appointment in the afternoon and he really gave 100%. I left happy I held a revision date and this ordeal would be over. First thing this morning my phone rang. It was from a receptionist was extremely rude. I had said to the Dr. yesterday that my initial review on RS was great on the surgisil lip implants (never was the FaceTite remotely positive). We agreed the implants weren't made long enough and FaceTite is not the wonder procedure as promoted by the laser company. We were both hoping for better results from new products and by no error of his own it was worse than when I started. I assumed the staff keep up with RS! Apparently not and they looked up my review last night. Angel stated that the Dr. doesn't want to keep my surgery appointment (take out the lip implants that have horrifically wrong) until I "remove my post" on RealSelf. I updated it (as authentically as I planned to anyway) after her call. However, it was so awkward that I've cancelled my surgery.

I went back to the doctor yesterday. He was very nice and also disappointed with the lip implant shifting. My lips are too long for even the longest implant. I would consider doing my bottom lip again if Surgisil comes out with more length choices. He did stand behind his work so I still recommend him if you want the lip implants.

My sliding lower lip implant wasn't terribly noticeable. The first post op I had Dr. Moulton Barrett squeezed it back to the middle and said maybe he'll put a stitch in if it's still sliding at my next appointment. It was but he pushed it back again. No stitch. Top lip was fine. As time went on, the bottom implant has slid even more. The top is uneven if you feel it but it's not too noticeable. The lower implant kept creeping into the side of my mouth and caused my lip to be raised and I'd occasionally bite it. That scarred and then I was biting it often when I chewed. My dentist suggested he trim the scar. Now there is a pit and my smile is crooked. I'm mortified:( I have an appointment in a couple of weeks with the Dr. and hopefully will have more information for you guys. I have been avoiding talking or smile for several months. We'll see if he's the type of Dr. that stands behind his work or not.
