I was given a more youthful look after fat liposuctioned from my belly was inserted around my mouth, lips and chin. I'm glad I did it. It looks natural--no fat lips--and the lines around my mouth are noticeably less. I chose this procedure, which gives a permanent fix, over filler injections after learning that I would need three vials of filler--$600 per vial--every six months to achieve roughly the same result. It was a good decision. I was awake throughout, carefully monitored by Dr. Papillion and his staff. Everything was explained as they worked--no surprises. As for pain, it was akin to a root canal, with the numbing procedure the most painful for me. My face was swollen and purple for a week, gradually normalizing over the course of another 10 days. I looked bad, but facial pain was minor. The nurses advised me to wear spanx after the procedure, and I strongly recommend anyone undergoing liposuction to take this advice. It makes a world of difference! The folks at Cool Springs Plastic Surgery Center were topnotch professionals who did excellent work while remaining incredibly kind and encouraging.
