Dr. Varkarakis Reversed my Botched Lip!
I had a horrible lip lift done about four months ago where the surgeon removed way too much skin from my lip. I had asked for a conservative lip lift and was shocked to see how aggressively it had been done. My facial features were thrown off entirely. I was devastated and spent three months hiding in my house waiting for the appearance to possibly improve. I was emotionally traumatized, depressed, and hopeless. I was not comfortable in my own skin and did not recognize myself in the mirror. And I went into the procedure expecting to have a subtle change to my lip and no change to any other facial features.
I consulted with a few of the top NYC lip lift revision specialists but they said they could not help me since too much skin had been removed. I also continuously researched the topic on Real Self and kept reading that no surgeons can revise lip lifts when too much skin was removed.
One lucky day after praying for weeks, I did another search on the topic on Real Self and I found a person who recommended Dr. George Varkarakis in Miami, FLA. She wrote that he had fixed her botched lip lift when too much skin had been removed. I immediately contacted her and then contacted Dr. Varkarakis.
Dr. Varkarakis met with me via FaceTime and he saw how much skin had been removed compared to my "before" photos. He put me at ease and assured me that he could help me. Dr. Varkarakis is an expert surgeon who uses cutting-edge techniques that other surgeons can't or won't utilize. I immediately flew from NY To Miami. We had a long consultation where he listened to my concerns and explained how he could lower the lip and get it much closer to where it was originally. He was also very kind and understanding of how traumatic it is to go in for a somewhat non-invasive type procedure and to come out of it looking like a different person.
I had the procedure performed the next day and it was painless, and done using local anesthesia. Dr. Varkarakis' nurse, Madelyn, is also top-notch and amazing, and helped put me at ease throughout each stage of the procedure (pre, during and afterward.) I stayed in Miami while it healed and Dr. Varkarakis provided the most careful and thorough aftercare. He is so generous with his time and met with me daily to observe the healing process.
I am so happy with the results! Immediately, my face began to loosen up and I looked more like myself. The lip is healing quickly and looks very natural at this point.
I honestly cannot state how wonderful Dr. Varkarakis is. He is truly in a class all his own. He is an expert surgeon as well as a compassionate healer. He sincerely wants to help his patients and he empathizes with the pain of going through unsuccessful surgical procedures.
Dr. Varkarakis gave me my face and my life back and I cannot thank him enough! If anyone is struggling with an unsuccessful lip lift where too much skin was removed, I strongly encourage you to contact Dr. Varkarakis as soon as possible. I believe he is the only surgeon in the US who is revising these challenging lip lifts when too much skin was removed. I am so incredibly grateful that I found him! He is a life-changing surgeon!
