First. I would like to thank you Dr. Ransom from the bottom of my heart and his wonderful staff Dee and Joann.So its been 15 years since i got my lip tattoo and i was convinced by this women to add a little volume to the bottom lip *its going to look very natural and will last forever* she said. She traveled from San Jose to my home and did it right on my couch in the living room. about a year after my lip was done. i soon found out this lady was in big trouble.She was caught and arrested for performing all kind if cosmetic surgery in her home.I was so happy but angry at the same time Weeks and months had passed and my lip became bumpy and very disfigure and i started experience sensitivity and sometimes discomfort.I started searching and calling as many Cosmetic Surgeon in my areas as i remembered and even went for so many consultations and was turn away with disappointment but i have now learned and found out what injected into my bottom lip was illegal liquid silicon. I once tried restylane to even it out but it did not work.In march 2016. I found Dr. ransom and went for a consultation and booked an appointment right then for my procedure on April 7 of 2016.Its been only 7 weeks and i am so happy with the result.I get out of the house and start doing things i have not been doing.Not missing and avoid family gathering.i noticed people talk to me looking straight at me now instead of my lip.Every time now when i look at myself in the mirror i cry.Thank you Dr. Ransom for transformed my smile and gave me back what i felt was stolen for so many years of my life as i hid behind this insecurity. Attached are photos of the before and after of my lip 7 and 1/2 weeks after my surgery.(photo on bottom left was before surgery)

What did the doctor do exactly?
June 3, 2016
Hi Yulliaan. It was done in less than an hour total for the procedure all under local anesthesia. I was awake the whole time. Dr and Nurse Joan were telling me what whole time what was going to happen next during the procedure.When i first arrived. We went over what was discussed during my 1st consultation and started marking lines on the bottom lip with marker where the lumps of silicon needed to be remove .After about 10 minute. I was asked to move into a surgery room then procedure started. He made an incision along line where wet and dry lip met then he and his nurse stated removing the hard gel silicon piece by pieces.At some point i did smell a little burning from cauterization. then it was time to close up the lip with sutures. after i was all cleaned up and given prescription for antibiotic and pain med and off i went.I have to tell you it swelled up quite a bit for the next two to 3 nights (prettry scary)I was having a hard time looking at it but dont worry, it started to go down real fast with the help of swelling med he prescribed. I returned a week later to remove sutures then two more times for follow up. As when i post my photo 7 and 1/2 weeks into it my lip was still a little tender and i understand it will still going down even more. I hope this would help you understand more about my procedure and i did answered your questions. This was the best decision i made in my life so far.I am now so busy trying to get out of the house more making up for what i have been missing for the last 15 years.

I'm so very happy for you. I can sense the angst in your post when you were writing about your first procedure on your couch, and then the relief after finding someone caring & skilled enough to fix it all! It's so strange how our insecurities can paralyze us from living life, but it's all too real ... I'm glad you are enjoying yours now. God bless!
