Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

Hi Dr. Lam,

First off, thank you so much for this forum!! It's really an invaluable resource, and a great testimony to your consideration for us patients as a doctor. :)

My question is--is it possible to lift the lips to a higher position (just a few mms) on the face using fat grafting? I'm not talking about adding fat to the lips themselves, but maybe to ...

Hello Dr. Lam,

Twelve years ago, I had a v-y lip augmentation procedure.I am not sure the doctor had ever performed a v-y before (I was 18 and lacking judgement). In any case, the result was an upper lip that was way too big, the left side of the upper lip hanging down significantly lower than the right side, augmentation only on the right side of my lower lip (nothing done at all to the ...

Hi Dr. Lam

As you might remember, I consulted with you before regarding facial FG overfilling. Well, about 9 months ago, I had my face micro-lipoed by a doctor who does a lot of these cases and the result seems to be pretty good - some fat reduction with no new contour irregularities.

Now I would like to address my lips. I think my lower lip is too large and would benefit from reduction with ...

I really do not understand why I have such thick lips. Everyone in my family has very thin lips except for me because apparently I'm the cursed child. I really don't understand how I randomly developed this ugly gene. You can barely see my teeth because of my lips. I have to suck them in everytime I go out so they appear smaller but when i loose them up they are just big. How much ...

Dear Dr Lam,
I am no direct patient of yours as I live in Europe but have researched your site and findings on the subject of lip fillers thoroughly, and being in awe of your reputation and knowledge would really appreciate your view on the following.. About 7 years ago I had silicone oil (PMS) injected in my upper lip for a slightly fuller appearance. The result was both very subtle and beautiful, just as ...

Hey Dr. Lam,
I might be changing careers pretty soon and was hoping to get back in to see you again before things get too busy. The last time i was in, you had told me that taking anymore out of the upper lip would cause some symmetry inbalance between the upper and the lower...as it was, you took out a small piece on the left side that was a little thicker than the right ...

do u think it d be possible to reduce the upper lip so as to make it flatter and less 'simian-looking'?
thank you.

hello dr. lam!
i wanted some explanations about the risks of ilp reduction.
first: if i have silicon injection, during the surgery there is a high risk of bacteria infection, which can result in abcesses, how do you low the this risk?
2. in lip reduction, how do you sure that you are not cutting muscle or nerves? and if there is silicon in the muscle layer, do you live it there?
3.what are the ...

Hello,

Im highly considering getting a lip reduction on both lips and I had a few questions?

1. Is there anyway that we could do the both lip reduction for $3,500. I'm an independent
college student who's parents are deceased.

2. Is there anyway that you can do the lip reduction in one day and have me fly out back
to Los Angeles by the same day?

3. Is it possible to schedule a consultation ...
