Lip Lift Done Twice and So Far Love IT! - Duluth, GA

ORIGINAL POST

I can not express how happy I am with this...

WORTH IT$1,500
I can not express how happy I am with this procedure! I HATE lip injections and saw this procedure on REAL SELF. I had never even heard of it--my doctor is THE BEST! I would let No ONE touch my face---but him, He has done procedures for me for over 25 years---I am 57 and he keeps me looking great! if I get brave I may post my body---BUT he is VERY conservative and he was not certain he wanted to do the procedure at first. I begged. The first lift was done a month before and even though I had no pain, no scar--I wanted more. I pleaded again and he performed the surgery again this Tuesday. I am very happy! I would have liked to have a tad more...but I am happy. He had me take 1 valium and 1 Ativan prior 45 min and there was no pain. I had a little discomfort and I mean a tiny bit a few hours at home, but I took 1 pain pill and that was it. I would like to load photos, but they are not uploading I will keep trying. I LOVE this surgery, my great doctor, Phillip Nakano and his wonderful staff in Duluth, GA at Prima Plastic Surgery!

Me too. I love my Dr. MacMillan from Nashville for what he does best. His staff is the greatest, he even gives free revisions if you don't like the outcome. He is not sarcastic and likes his job.

It looks very natural. The only thing is all the swelling is now gone and I have very little redness around incision site--but--I loved the look much better when it was still swollen---still not exactly what I wished for---but--my doctor is very skilled and he is concerned about your not looking, "natural," Make CERTAIN you emphasize exactly what YOU want--Take a photo if you need to. I am going to now try and again to upload all the photos. To keep from having to have the procedure repeated go in the first time being very direct and knowing what you want so you will not be disappointed--A little is not always MORE...Smile

Have you had this done? My recovery both times was VERY fast and VERY easy. The only even slightest difficult part was numbing shots and even that was not bad no worse than dentist and if you get injections from lip fillers no worse than that and it is over so quick and then you feel nothing. My ps is so great he gives 1 Ativan and 1 valium 45 min prior and this makes it all so easy.

I have a lot of pictures! LOL! it has gone down a little, but not much. You should be swollen the first 4-5 days and if you do not see instant improvement then---most likely he did not take enough...NOT to WORRY---He wanted me to wait a month, but it was not quite a month---but again--EVERY patient is different--he has known me a very long time and I heal VERY quick. I do love the procedure

Well, thank you!! I have a lot of hope now. I wasn't swollen, at all. Not even a little. I was expecting to look like I had gotten injections for the first few days, but I wasn't. So I'm really not sure what happened. You look amazing! And I'm glad you are happy with your results.

Let me say there was NO pain! He let me take 1 Ativan and 1 valium about 45 min prior-I had NO pain once home---There was never really a scar for me
BUT I am not the norm---I barely ever scar. Am I happy?! WHAT do you think?! I HATE injections and actually had never had them, but about 3 times---THIS was the perfect answer for me and NO ONE touches me--but Dr. Nakano---He is THE BEST!
