Good Results

I am happy with my lip implants. On the procedure day, the office hadn't ordered my bottom lip 4mm implant. Luckily they had an extra one in the back so the staff was disorganized. The doctor was very good about the symmetry. The bottom implant is still slipped to one side but he said I have long lips so it doesn't quite fit. It isn't noticeable from the outside. I had a 5mm implant put in my upper lip. Some doctors on real self don't recommend using this (the biggest) size but I have had no problem. I do recommend this doctor for 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.

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.
