Lower Lip Advancement Following Severe Botched Filler Removal

Lower Lip Advancement Following Severe Botched Filler Removal

WORTH IT
Two years ago I had a lip reduction to remove silicone injections. Dr. Katzen severely damaged my lips. To this day I have struggles closing my mouth completely, and have numbness and pain from the nerve damage he caused. I was told by numerous board and double board certified plastic surgeons I couldn't be helped. Dr. Pearson took my case about a year and a half ago and basically built me a new top lip. I shared the results of that procedure on my profile if you're interested. The results took my breath away. I didn't think I'd ever look normal again, much less pretty. To this day I am grateful to the point of tears for what he did for me.
Last week I went back to him for my bottom lip to be corrected. I am 5 days out, and did not have any pain or swelling. I know that sounds unbelievable, but when a surgeon is very skilled as Dr. Pearson is, he's able to move quickly and with minimal disruption to the tissue. I took a few Tylenols on the second day and that was all that was needed.
5 days out and I’m beginning to see the final shape take place. I’m so excited and happy with my decision to trust Dr. Pearson again.
If you are unsure who to go with, Dr. Pearson is your guy. My results speak for themselves. If he could restore my lips to where they are now from the mess of scar tissue that they were, I feel confident in referring others to him.
These pics were taken before I met Dr. Pearson, and 5 days after my second procedure with him.

Your results are simply stunning - I'm amazed. I'm going through my own journey with removal from the white portion of the upper lip. I've had one attempt at surgical excision and plan to do another shortly. I too suffer with stiffness and movement issues as well as a strange look. This really is a fantastic result in itself, particularly considering the starting point and your long journey until now. Your informative posts on this subject are invaluable and much appreciated by myself as well as many others I'm sure.

You look SO beautiful. I am going through an extremely painful journey with a lip procedure as well and I haven't been able to leave the house for almost a year. It has been extremely traumatic and I ended up receiving a settlement in exchange for signing an NDA so I can't post pictures myself. I remember seeing your earlier post and feeling so hopeless. Now I feel much better. I am so happy for you. No one can understand this unless they have been through it.

How did he get your top lip so full? Is it filler or fat grating or upper lip lift?

Wow bravo. He did an amazing job. He sewed my earlobes a year go. Really happy I went with him.

You have been through so much, I’m beyond delighted for you. How did he do this? I’m looking to have permanent filler removed with laser in Italy, and have concerns for the result. Seeing this gives so much hope.
