Silicone on lips reduction

Belleza_1
WORTH IT$2,850
18 years ago I had silicone injected on my lip and overtime my lip became deformed. I decided to go with doctor Lam based on all the experience he has with lip reduction and reconstruction after lip injections gone bad.
My flight came in at 8am and Kenny’s car service picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel.
My appointment was for 2pm but was asked to be there 15 min prior. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I was given medication for swelling and bruising and also did a urine pregnancy test. Pictures from before the procedures were taken. The doctor came in and talked about the possible outcomes.what I should expect. I felt very comfortable.
After that I was brought to the procedure room. I was them numbed with a block. It like a needle when you go to a seating. I did not feel it at all. After that he injected my lips with more numbing and I didn’t feel it since I was already numb from the block. He waited a few minutes and came back and numbed some more. The procedure was very quick. He had already drawn my lips out so when it came down to cutting it was very quick. He took his time with stitching to shape the lip nicely. He then showed the results I was please but question one area inside my mouth. He explained it will not be noticeable and he would not touch that area anymore because it will not look right. Once done I was given instructions on how to care for the lip. My driver kenny took me to the pharmacy to pickup my prescription and then to the hotel.
I have not had any pain just a little pulling from the stitches. I’m pleased with ow they look today. I will post more picture once it has heeled. I will try to do a 6 week picture and a6 month picture.
I want to also recommend Kenny as your driver if you decide to fly into Texas for Doctor Lam.
Kenny was fenomenal.

My flight landed 8am on Thursday. My appointment was at 2pm. Procedure was at 3pm. It lasted 30 minutes or so. I decided to stay overnight so I can get some rest, but I could have flown out that same night. I took the 10am flight on Friday. I just didn’t want to be in a rush.

Did he make an incision inside your upper lip and remove the silicone? I don’t see any incision. Did he put anything back in like a dermal graft or fat?

Yes he made an incision. You can see I one of the pictures the stitches go from one side to the other. He took the deformed part of and reshaped my lip. I'm very pleased with the results. He made the incision where the wet and dry lip meets and that's why you won't be able to see any scar or deformities. It looks very natural. And no he did not fill with anything. He did a lip reduction.

Are you sure there will be no scar? Are you going to useusing silicone scar cream? Whats the aftercare like-lots of swelling, really sore? I'm asking this because I recently 1 mo ago had a dermal fascia fat graft from my hip placed in my upper lip and it looks deformed. If it doesn't self correct, I will have to have it removed and imagine it'll be the same type of surgery. Was the silicone adhered to your lip tissue?

Not much soreness or swollen. I was probably swollen for no more than 3 days. I was not in pain at all. Also, the scar is not bad for me. He made the incision where the dry and wet lip meet so it's hidden. No one sees it. I put on vitamin e oil on my lips. But to tell you the truth I'm happy with it just the way it is.

you can only remove fat with some sort of liposuction.

I’m very pleased with how well it has healed. My smile finally looks normal. It took maybe about a month and a half to have anormal smile.
