Talking lip augmentation using UltraSoft (Gortex)

Hello. I am having nasolabial fold correction and upper lip augmentation performed on May 7, 2002. Has anyone had this procedure done using the new Soft Gortex? Bad experience, good experienc? I am not finding much information online and what I do find is not very encouraging. I am concerned about recovery time and whether the results are worth the expense.

Hi. I had soft form placed in my upper lip on a Thursday and looked like a chimpanzee until the following Wednesday. When the swelling went down, I discovered the soft form had not been placed in the right position and was in my face and not in my lip on one side (the other side looked great). My doctor tried to correct it, but a tunnel had already been created and the form didnt stay where it was suppose to. He removed it. Now I'm debating on having fat or alloderm (which is thinner) inserted. I had soft form put in my lower lip a year and a half ago, and that procedure went fine and I didn't have much down time. The upper lip apparently is much more sensitive.

As far as the nasal folds go, I had gortex in my 'dimple' lines. Either the doctor didn't place one in the right position, it was placed too near the top layer of the skin, or it shifted on its own. I now have a line that is an inch long, always red, and not in the depressed area.

Make sure you use a doctor that knows what he is doing and will back up what he does.

Question

I haven't heard from many people who have had this procedure. Please, if you know anyone who has had this done will you direct them to this message board. None of what I've been seeing is promising at all. It sounds like most who have it done get either lopsided or bad results. I think I will go see a different surgeon to get a second opinion before i do this.
