He would only take off 4 mm - wasted my time and money

LAShickman

Dr Partington was very willing to talk to me on the phone the first time I called his office. He told me he could do a beautiful job with my lip and the the results I wanted. The day of the lip lift he got me ready for the procedure then he only wanted to remove 3 mm!!! 3 mm is NOTHING. My lip hung down 7 mm beyond the bottom of my top teeth. I needed at least 11 mm removed and lifted to get the youthful look and lip roll I was paying him for. We argued a bit. He would only take off 4 mm and told me he knew what he was doing, that 4 was the magic number, that it would look fantastic. After the procedure he took an “after” photo. He asked me to pull me top lip up for this photo….to make it look like a more dramatic/better result than I really got. I called, emailed, texted him many times telling him I was unhappy with the results. That I wanted/needed a revision. He would not return one message during the course of an entire year! He is dishonest and unethical and lacks basic skills. I wasted my time and money going to him.

I just got my lip lift I feel that my doctor was too conservative as well after I asked him right before surgery not to be conservative not look some left with 11 mm when I really wanted seven or eight mm outcome

Dr Phillip Young did a fabulous revision. I highly recommend him if you want a more dramatic youthful look.

Sorry you had a bad experience initially but wow! Stunning after the revision!

Thank you, I get compliments on my lips about once a month now. I never got them before.

Well deserved! And bear in mind a lot of people just notice the improvement and do not say anything like myself in real life )

I don't get it, your looks lip looks great - any higher and it would have looked botched.

She had a revision. That is why her lips look good. The first 2 pictures are not before pictures. They are the results of her first docs work

I totally agree with stuffy2u! You look perfect. Aesthetically more tooth show and much smaller philtrum distance would have looked strange to me.

It may be advisable to remove the last two photos and show them under a separate review as they show the beautiful results of your revision by a DIFFERENT surgeon. As you can tell from some of the comments here it creates a bit confusion and some readers wrongly assume (just as I did at first glance) that this excellent result is actually the work of Dr. Partington which you are supposedly unhappy with...
