This section of the forum is dedicated to discussions on lip enhancement/augmentation and lip reduction/correction/revision procedures using injectable fillers and/or surgery.
Hi, Dr. Lam, I've been doing some research on Lip Reduction for about the past year now and have finally decided to go through with it under your care. I sent an e-mail on the 16th of Feb but haven't received a response yet so I decided to post here my questions and hopes. I'm from Los Angeles, CA and want to fly in for the surgery a.s.a.p. I'd like to know if I'd need to fly in twice; once for a consultation and another for the actual procedure, or if it's possible to have the consultation done (just as effectively) in any other way. I'd like to show you an image of how my lips look at their natural state and another of the appearance/image I hope to achieve, but I'd much rather prefer it to be private, how can I send you a private message:?:
hi, sorry for the delay in responding. it must have been sent to my staff and they get overwhelmed sometime with prospective patient contacts. i personally respond to almost all correspondences within 24 hours. you can send me a photo to my private email account drlam@lamfacialplastics.com. we can do a phone consultation if you like or even just an email exchange if you are comfortable with that. you do not need to fly out twice. best, sml

Hello again, Dr. Lam, thanks for your response. I used the Contact form on the website so if it did get sent to your staff I completely understand the delay, no worries. I went ahead and just finished sending my images to the e-mail you provided. I've decided to have a phone and e-mail consultation in an attempt to collect time and money. Please provide me with the utmost information and updates in regards to this as necessary. Thank you and am very excited to hear from you!
hi, just had time to review the images. you look like a good upper and lower lip candidate and the transformed images look conservative and doable. at this point, if you would like to discuss this by phone, set that up with my office. sometimes it is faster to call it in 888-866-3388. best wishes and looking forward to take care of you, sam lam
