I was very unhappy with my 20 year old gortex lip implants (upper and lower) which had shifted and hardened. Dr. Gelfant removed the old material from my lip and transferred fat from my hip to maintain the fullness but create a more natural and softer lip. I'm so happy I did it! It's still healing but already looks so much better. I was very nervous about the surgery but I'm 4 days post surgery and swelling is almost gone and any pain or discomfort was minimal ! Thanks to Dr.Gelfant and his team in the office for the fantastic job and support. I highly recommend him as a plastic surgeon and for anyone contemplating this procedure! My lips are looking fantastic!

I'm so happy things have turned out so well for you. Problems stemming from man-made permanent materials in the lips are so worrisome to patients, and it is so gratifying when they are removed and replaced with something truly natural.
Wow, thanks for sharing your story! Do you have any pics you can share too? Love to see your results!
