Never too Late to Fix That Long Lip!!! - Sarasota, FL (Lip lift, a few fat injection below eye and mole removal)

he counts every single stitch so that when he removes them he doesn't miss any..I have a few friends that found "lost stitches" much later

That's fascinating. I am seriously thinking of doing this. My upper lip is 22mm. I wish I could take off 11, but I fear that much off would distort the nostrils etc. I am very intrigued that he took off 8mm. How long was your upper lip at the start? How did he make the decision about how much to take off? Did he go off of an ideal ratio?

He is an artist and I trusted him to do the right thing..I've seen a lot of his work.One friend had a neck lift that was amazing!! He did my eyes years back for my sons wedding and I couldn't believe the change...I will ask thw dr when I get my stitches out Tuesday okay? Lets watch my nostrils as everything heals...

for the lip surgery... Most doctors like to take off between 25 - 33 %... Be conservative doctors will usually take off 25 percent and then tell you to come back for a revision... Which is just more money and you have to wait a whole year... So if you have it done and you're looking to get good results depending upon what you're looking for... Try to push for that 33 percent equivalent to one third... Good luck

Thank you for your updates. I will eagerly return to the site to find out what your doctor told you and to follow your healing process. Blessings to you for allowing us into this part of your life.

he doesn't do that...I had the stitches removed today 1 week post surgery...He doesn't do another surgery..I asked The other thing is to save money I did this in his office so no surgery center fee

Awesome. ..so he basically gives u what u want the first time. ....Most doctors take off 4mm and then have u come back to take off the rest..which is usually 2 to 4mm...depending on your length....I very much appreciate all the updating and the new pictures... I will be calling your doctor today to find out some more information and make an appointment... Your scar looks awesome

It's day 10 and without any scar medicine or anything I had someone come up to say how much younger I look. A long lip is a sign of age. You will love Dr Adamson. He is the most honest person I know. No fancy office and model women working for him. He did it all in 1 procedure

I made an appointment with Dr. Adamson... Just wondering if you would still upload some current photos so I can see how your healing? Thank you I appreciate your time

Thank you for this insightfull comment - now I feel better about my upcoming surgery, removing 5 mm from 17 total. And will try to push for 6 mm :)

doctors remove between 25 and 33 percent... So five to six millimeters would be about a third and that would be perfect... Beyond that I guess it doesn't look natural

that's good that he's removing that amount because most doctors stick with 25% and then want to do a revision... Which is very inconvenient

8 mm

He cut a line that followed the contour of my lower nostrils and then after removing about 8mm he stitched just to skin. It is not attached to septum.

wow, that's amazing. I need about 7 plus taken off but I'm amazed that this was skin to skin - you healed so well with no changes to your nose. Congratulations!

thank you..I have been very diligent with my scar care...and I had an amazing doctor

were they deep stitches?... Did you have both dissolvable and removable stitches

I'm curious... Did your doctor say that he did not attach it to the septrum or are you assuming that? thank you

2 layers of stitches...the bottom layer were dissolved and the top layer they removed

He did not!!! I will ask him again when I see him but thats what he said

Sorry....lips or lips and face (fat transfer)...thx

I paid $2400 for the lip lift...the fat transfer was just a few harvested fat from my abdomen that he place on my cheek bone.. I also has a mole removed from my cheek since it could become cancerous. Dr Adamson isn't one of these impressive waiting room and staff Dr's ; he is an honest man and an artist and I wouldn't go to anyone else..All of my friends have used him and I have seen him perform miracles on necks, breast reconstruction etc. He was referred to me by a few Dr's and its their opinions that I was looking for.
I had this procedure done in his office so bear that in mind; if you have general anesthesia it would cost more.

thank you so much for your response... I was actually considering and still might I'm not sure... A doctor in Atlanta. I'm from the Bradenton Sarasota area however I live in Orlando now... So I was happy to see the lip surgery in Sarasota and have a review on it... So thanks again for posting all your information and sharing with everybody... Like I said your stitches look awesome.. So I will anxiously wait till you post a picture when they're removed so I can see what the scar looks like... And how you heal.. And then I will make my decision.....thanks again
