Lip Lift Scar Revision by a Meticulous, Talented Surgeon

I had a less than satisfactory lip lift done by another surgeon. Not only was I unhappy about too much length taken, I had bad scars from asymmetrically done lip lift. On my right side I had a “dog ear” scar lump. On my left side, the scar dipped below the nasal crease right under my nostril making it very noticeable. The scar was wide and atrophic as if it didn’t close correctly. This was a source of regret and great self consciousness. The original surgeon suggested tattooing the scar (!) or a complete re-do (I no longer trusted his skills). Other consultations included trying filler (didn’t work) or CO2 Laser (didn’t work). I didn’t know what to do! I saw so many positive reviews for Dr. Pearson’s lip lifts so I booked a consultation. Dr Pearson is an extremely thoughtful, detail oriented man who took time to ask me what bothered me most about my scar. He ultimately suggested a partial scar revision and marked what he would remove and revise. He is a very kind, understanding, and reassuring doctor. The revision was so easy, done with local numbing. The stitches were immaculate! My stitches came out after one week and the scar looks great! (It’s not even a month after!). He removed the right sided dog ear with a small incision and repositioned the left side scar so that it hugged the curve of my nostril. My only regret? Dr. Pearson had suggested revising the left side scar within the nostril as well. I wasn’t prepared for a big revision. Now, looking at his beautiful, meticulous work, how I wish I had done it! To Dr. Pearson’s credit, he didn’t want to push me or do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. What a find! I really appreciate his surgical skills, attention to detail and kind and caring personality. He checked in with my progress the days after the surgery. A totally positive experience and I’m SO GLAD I found Dr. Pearson after nearly two years of living with a scar I hated thinking I would be stuck with it as nothing seemed to help. I wish I had gone to him in the first place. Great surgeon!
