In 1998 when I was 52 I had a face lift (and a couple other facial enhancements). It changed my life. I also had follow up fat transfers. Now at 69 I wanted to revitalize my face and was ready for another surgical procedure. I had been to several Plastic Surgeons but always left unsatisfied. They suggested various fillers, etc., but didn't seem to address structural issues. I guess I was not communicating well. I was happy with Dr. Ridenour from the first consultation. I felt he really looked at my face and was able to suggest surgical and topical procedures that would work for what I was interested in achieving. The surgery I had was a "mini" (although it felt major to me) face lift and fat transfer. The topical procedure was Fractora. It has been 6 weeks and I am quite pleased with the results. I hope to maintain my renewed appearance and will likely want to continue more moderate treatment to keep fullness in my lips, and perhaps refine facial surface imperfections. I highly recommend Dr. Ridenour and his friendly and competent staff.

Hi JA
What did you do to attain the fullness in your lips? A filler? Fat transfer? What would you recommend for me to have just a little extra fullness in my upper lip?

I asked that the fat transfer he was doing to the lower face and around the eyes also get put in the lips. They are only slightly fuller. So-I am still not sure how to get fuller lips. They look a little better but it wont last. So- Let me know if you find a good solution.
