Dana's Lip Transplant
Unfortunately, Dana was a victim of this too. I believe her lips went bad because one of our bedroom windows faces east and becomes very bright in the morning sun. Apparently the UV rays did their dastardly work. I've since begun the habit of putting Dana on my living room futon in the mornings before I go to work. It's much darker in there and will hopefully make her new lips last longer.
Dave was kind enough to provide Dana's new lips free, but it took them a while to arrive due to some staffing issues. I bought some brush-on super glue today and performed the "surgery".
Here are the "before" photos of Dana:
You'll notice that you can see through her mouth right to the fabric.
With my Exacto knife and fingernails, I began the lip removal. I also stuck pins in Dana to mark the location of the lips as Dave suggested:
I wasn't able to remove everything. This is Dana before I glued her new lips on:
I brushed some of the super glue on the new lips and pressed them on Dana. Be careful with this as I still have some of the dried glue on my fingers.
You can see the results below. While the transplant was a technical success, the new lips aren't as plump as the old ones, so Dana doesn't have quite the girly-girl expression she did before. The picture turned out good, so I guess I'll get used to it.

Guess 2 years of daily kisses did them in.
She will also be getting new pubes as well, as those have pretty well disintegrated too.
This will probably be the most extensive repair to date. Still not bad though, when you consider the repairs that the silicone gals undergo, this is pretty simple stuff.

I also think it would be a good idea to make this thread a sticky.
Izzy's just gone through a lip transplant and I can see Emma needing one at sometime in the not too distant future.
Maybe Eighth Wonder or TB canada should consider making new lips generally available, on sale the same as new wigs, replacement nipples and plush inserts that they have on their web site.
My Sonia's lips arent in too bad a shape but they will need replacing in the future.
It's awesome that Dave supplied you with lips Yoube_Bosley free of charge

Re: Dana's Lip Transplant
How hard would it be to transplant one from a latex doll to a teddy babe?
