Dear Dr. Lam

Time is approaching and you bring me hope as each day passes by. It might sound oukword but i somtimes dream of this day! seriously. Anyways, Im planning to come soon from thusands of miles away just to see you hoping for a chance to be able to live a normal life. A couple of qustions though which I hope you can give some time in answering.

1- I will be available in texas for 25 days, thats the maximum I can take as a leave. will I be able to do all whats needed during that time, or is there a certain procedure i need to to after i leave texas. KEEP IN MIND, that I have developed 2 dog ear scars around the original scar and other complications because of the number of surgical procedures i have been throug
2- How much would a scar revision procedure cost.
3- Do you preform smart or laser lipo at your clinic, i have some access fat on my lower stomach and love handels which i wish to get rid of. If yes how much would it cost if I wanted to do that as well since im going to be in texas anyways. Please keep in mind that the major reason for my visit is the scar
4- how would i be able to know more about your spa services. I would like to visit your spa while im there
5- can you send me an email where i can sent you my most recent scar pic

i thank you for your time again, see you soon

WELL, AS I SAID, THE REAL RISK IS THAT THE SCAR THICKNESS AFTERWARD REQUIRING 5-FU AND LASER. THAT IS SOMETHING I SIMPLY CANNOT CONTROL IN YOUR SITUATION. I HOPE THAT IS CLEAR. YOU MAY NEED SOMEONE TO INJECT IT AND/OR LASER IT AFTER YOU HAVE GONE.
2- How much would a scar revision procedure cost.
YOU NEED TO SEND ME THE PHOTO AGAIN TO MY DRLAM@LAMFACIALPLASTICS.COM, THEN I CAN GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE.

Dear Dr. Lam

I have sent you the pictures by email. Please get back at me.

See you soon, and thankyou for your time

i'm fearful that i can't deliver on what i would promise you. traveling such a long distance and not being able to manage you afterward always brings fear into my heart. i would love to do your scar revision but i am only human. moving tissue from another body part is not a good idea. no reason to do that plus bad color and texture match. bad all together. i know you trust me but trust means being honest and realistic.

Hi Dr. Lam

Thankyou for preforming the surgery on me earlier today. your profetionalism was worth every mile out of the 10,000 miles I traveled to see you. After taking the stiches out when will you see me again, because I planning to go to a different state and then come back to dallas for follow up.

One more thing I wont be able to come again so if there was somthing you can do for me for my acne scars and the scar on my forehead you will let me go back home the happeiest man alive. please consider sir.

See you tom for the botox

thank you for the kind words and thank you for traveling 24 hours in flight time to see me.
1. i am skeptical about the treatment for your forehead given your propensity to heal poorly. we can talk tomorrow about it.
2. you can travel once i get your botox in tomorrow.
we'll talk tomorrow.

no problem. in general, the more you smoke the worse. just try your best. you should be fine.

2ND FOR HOW LONG WILL I NEED TO USE THE VASELINE ON MY ACNE SCAR, AND HOW LONG WILL I NEED TO USE IT ON THE REVISED SCAR?
1. over the incision 1 week until the sutures are out.
2. over the CROSS areas, probably about 5 to 7 days too. just keep doing it until the sutures are out. i'll tell you at that point whether you can stop.

3RD WHEN CAN I START WASHING MY FACE.
today.

yes. just stay out of too much direct sunlight.

Dear Dr. Lam

First of all I want to thank and let people whome read this post to know if they ever lost hope in a facial defect they have, then there is hope with dr, Lam. Ask me I have been through 7 different surgeries preformed by 4 different doctors with each result coming worst that the one before. You trully are a specialist and a craftsmen in what you do. I saw that today after taking the stiches out I saw the difference. It felt like you took all my insecurities away from me when I saw myself in the mirror. There is still time needed for it to heel but it is clear that your approach and method was different from any other doctor. I can never thank you enough for that. Your staff treated me as if they were my best friends, and you treated me like a brother. May god bless you all. especially your mum whom heeled my soul, and you whom heeled my scar.

For those whom have given up, there is hope with Dr. Lam. And ill make sure to update my post in a couple of months and mention the final results of my procedure!

Secondly, There is still a bit of dog ear scar around the original one. Im coming back to see you in a months what can we do about them. I know im being greedy:-)

no problem. thanks for the kind words. all dog ears settle. you had a big one before i trimmed it down. have a safe trip and see you in a month before you leave the country.
