Fat transfer to lips

Fat transfer to lips

$1,600
I got 4cc in the top lip and 3cc in the bottom.
I’m a hairdresser and love makeup, Really wanted fuller lips. Wouldn’t leave the house without lipstick and over lining my lips. Wished I could go out of the house without anything and they’d be fuller naturally. Really hoping it lasts!!
Got it done by Dr. Reavie in Rancho Berndo

Really I really believe that I has to do with the doctor and their specific technique. My lips were done about 5 months ago and they’ve been the same for at least 3 and nothing has changed.

Look at my notebook, I have all the photos of recovery in the 1st month. It’s been 29 days and I’m not sure if the swelling is still going down but I hope not.

Orla M, you are lucky this reviewer didn’t report you to admin and have banned you from this site for being a nasty little twerp. I suggest you focus on becoming a better person.

I guess this is a “if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything” site? There’s lots of criticism of doctors on here. The lips look overdone. To some. If she likes them good for her.

The issue is not whether my lips look overdone to some people or not. It’s the way people say it, it’s when people are rude, mean and make unnecessary hateful comments. That’s the problem. If people don’t like my lips that’s fine, just move along.

Well they look perfect now that initial swelling has gone down. Very symmetrical and just perfect. Enjoy them.

did they go down more, any irregularities? so far I like your result!
July 16, 2018
No they didn’t go down too much. Thank you! I like them and no, no irregularities. Look t my notebook for all my pics. Even from today at 6 weeks

Where is this notebook you speak of? I can not find it anywhere. I can see in your first pictures there were lumps. How long til they went away or blended/bonded... How long til they looked and felt normal. I'm 1 week today. Be over already!!!
January 15, 2019
You did it?!! I looked crazy for at least a month. People around me, family, were nervous for me thinking my lips would not go down. I knew they would bc of tons of research I did online. It did take a long time for them to settle. Just like my doctor said at 3 months they were about where they would be permanently. I did have a lump right in the beginning on my bottom right side of my lip, but my doctor pressed down really hard, it hurt! And I think I massaged it. Now they are normal and I forget that I’ve even done them. Be patient, it’s nothing like getting filler. It takes a lot longer from them to settle. I don’t know why I said notebook I guess I meant my full review. Good luck on your healing process!

Hey siplyak, how are the lips? Did you get a touch-up? Mine look pretty good but my doctor said he would do a touch up for me since I'm moving in a few weeks and they have gone down a bit,.still a change from my initial no lips. After the first round I said never again but now with the offer on the table LOL I must be outta my mind. But I'm gonna do it.
March 11, 2019
Hi! The lips are still good I love them. I never did get a touchup and don’t really feel that I need to. I guess if I wanted them even fuller I could but I’m happy with them right now. I feel like any bigger and it would look weird on me. But if you feel you need it, I would do it, especially if he’s offering a free touch up .Good luck, and yes it was a long recovery for sure but it’s free, totally worth it!

Wow! Really looks gorgeous AND natural. Which is most important. Very subtle and elegant.
