Meeting with surgeon

I met with Mr Ng who examined my lips and told me that the implants were perfectly aligned and that the asymmetry was there before the procedure (which I could see on photos he had taken prior to the procedure). The extra volume the implants provided made the asymmetry more obvious. He said that nothing could be done to improve the asymmetry so I may look at semi-permanent lip liner.
I know they aren’t perfect but compared to how they were before the procedure I am happy.

Revision booked!

ali226
I’m going next Friday to have my lower lip fixed. Not sure what Mr Ng is going to do whether he’s going to be able to trim a little off the ends and of the implant or replace with a different size but it is free of charge.
Waiting for my antibiotic prescription to arrive now.
My partner isn’t keen on me going again as he thinks I’ve “ruined” my lips but I’m doing it for me not him!
I’ll review again after the revision.

I am so glad you are having them revised. It seems like it has been a far more difficult journey for you than what others have endured, and from the pics I agree that the bottom is too long. Something just doesn’t seem right. Have you considered a consultation with a different PS? Please keep posting! I want this procedure but am afraid to do it now.

I agree with completely about the bottom lip - to me it looks too long and too straight. My ps has a lot of experience in this procedure and in the UK there are not many places that offer it. I just have to put my trust in him to correct the problem for me. To be honest though I’m not sure how many people on here are being completely truthful about their healing times which is why I really wanted to tell it like it is!

Good luck on your frustrating journey. It will all look great but may take patience which none of us have. One thing I did want to mention was using Vaseline/Carmex/neosporin etc... isn't the best healing option for dry lips. There are many natural emolients the body absorbs well like coconut oil for one. Petroleum based products aren't absorbed correctly and don't heal the skin. Sorry for the long winded response but something natural will be easier to absorb and a good option to help your dry chapped lips. The best to you!

thank you for the advice - I will try it! x

Spoke to PS Office

So today I emailed Mr Ng’s office and sent them the 2 pics included in my last update.
They replied that the bottom implant may be able to be trimmed so I am going to ring tomorrow to make an appointment as I feel that although it is only a small change it may be a big improvement.
I’m hoping that the surgery will be free as the implant is too long but I’ll find out tomorrow!
