Was the silicone really cut out of the lip particle after particle? It's a pity you don't describe at all what procedure Dr.Kusuma performed.
Yes iit was really cut out in 3 pieces two from top one from bottom my lips were sliced from one end to the other 3pieces removed then resutured which took about three weeks to heal very little talking and eating soft foods but so worth it, hope this helps
Thank you debkalinow.

Hi, could you please share more pictures? It seems the pics from the before and after are not for the same face though...
Hello,
Your lips look amazing, Can you share the cost and the recovery? Thank you
Hard to believe but it is my same face and lips !
After speaking with you today on the phone, I believe it's the same person.
Looking forward to meet you on Saturday...
Thanks for meeting with me on Saturday, you are such a sweet lady! You look amazingly better, hope I can have the same positive results as you did, I'll keep you posted.
Excuse me, but if you don't mind me asking? In your post when you wrote you had 3 unsuccessful surgeries prior to this one, where you taking about 3 unsuccessful Lip Reduction surgeries? Or another kind of procedure?
sorry, but I really think that no one should ever mess with their lips. It seems to me that it always ends up in disaster.
ORIGINAL POST

After 15 years of having silicone injected into...

After 15 years of having silicone injected into my lips to have fuller looking lips permanently, my smile was ruined and you couldn't even see my teeth . With three unsuccessful surgeries there was scar tissue buildup , poor healing and no improvement in my appearance. I was very self-conscious and embarrassed at the way I looked. Then I was introduced to Dr. Shashidhar Kusuma. Immediately Dr. Kusuma understood my problem and instilled confidence in me that it could be corrected . I'm happy to report that three weeks post procedure, my pretty smile is back along with my self-esteem .
I can't begin to thank Dr. Kusuma and his staff enough. I am so happy with my results . I would recommend him highly to anyone for there cosmetic needs.
