These were taken months after the procedure. This was absolutely devastating. Two years after I still have nerve damage and cant fully close my mouth. I’ve had reconstructions to fix the damage he did to me and I’m doing much better, but I may never regain full range of motion or sensation in my lips.

I know how you feel and I have worries about my top lip, too.
It looks like Katzen removed far too much of the red portion of the upper lip at the very least, but I assume he removed portions of muscle in an attempt to extract the silicone?

I am so sorry This has happened to you. I understand. Lips have so much movement and when they don't move properly it is very noticeable and no way that you could hide. I myself have had many surgeries from liquid silicone injections without my knowledge. We are lucky if the surgeon does not make it worse.
Many doctors say they know how to fix it and I have experience they do not. May God be with you and I hope you find a surgeon that is qualified to help you

Still struggling with being unable to fully close my mouth or move my lips in a natural way

I may have permanent muscle and nerve damage. I’ve had two surgeries to try to correct this. Those reviews are on my profile. The before and after speaks for itself.
