Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

I am a 26 light skin black female with exaggerated ethnic features which I would like to change drastically.

Firstly I have really big lips and want to get both the upper and lower lips reduced. My bottom lip hangs and protrudes out and I have that stereotypical "Duck" shape to it. They are also asymmetrical and lean slightly to the left. I am not only bothered by the size of my lips but I'm ...

I had a lip graft on my top lift long ago (14 yrs), done by a ps in Miami. He took fat supposedly from my belly (right near my pubic area) and put it in my lip. When I first got it, it was too large and he had to reduce it. Very painful, I was awake. It is still larger than my bottom lip. Now I have to get Juvaderm put into my bottom ...

Hi Dr Lam.. I've seen great & read great reveiws concering your procedures. I'm interested in getting a lip reduction and also a nose reduction. Will you explain how to send a pm to forward a picture?

Hi Dr. Lam, Can my lips be fixed? Long story short, had bad injections many years ago I think it is silicone but I had originally been told it was Rystaline (. Anyway, looks really, really bad now and my self confidence has really been low because of this. Can you take a look and see if there is a possible solution? One side of top lip is larger than the other, you can actually ...

After first session with well-known plastic surgeon, my lips looked deformed. I just had my 6th session to fix his initial mistake and they look horrible. Im so depressed. My lips were Perfect before I started. I just wanted them a little fuller, subtle. FIRST SESSION-My left top lip was left with a huge bulge that never went away...since then the surgeon has been trying to correct his mistake AND CHARGING ME FOR HIS MISTAKE!!!!! ...

hi dr. lam,

i was wondering if there was anything you could do to address lip incompetence? i've heard of a mentopexy, which basically resuspends the soft tissues of the chin and elevates the lower lip. do you perform this procedure? are there other procedures which can also help minimize my drooping lip? thanks so much!

Hi!

Can you tell me how long it takes to see the final results for silicone injections to the lips?

Hello Dr. Lam,

I have been reviewing your website and have seen and watched some of your photos/videos of patients who have had reconstructive procedures done on existing silicone lip enhancements. I had silicone injected into my lips and face approximately 15 years ago and have been living with, what I consider, very terrible results. I never thought that anything could be done to remove or improve the results, because I assumed that since the ...

saw a similar sounding thread down below, but alas, it wasn't the same question. i'm thinking about reducing an overly full top lip--would this procedure result in more upper tooth show? i don't really mind either way; i actually think a bit of tooth show would be nice/youthful (i know lip lift patients often request this). thanks in advance!

Hello, I just had lip reduction done about 2 weeks ago. Everything is healing fast. Except the bottom lip looks a little uneven and I can see too much of my bottom teeth. The surgeon said that it was normal. He also said that would be able to close my lips once I use them more but I will still see my teeth. I wanted to know if this is normal. I really dont want ...
