I had silicone oil injected into my lips 4 years ago and I would like to find a doctor who is skilled in the removal of this product. It was done safely by a board certified surgeon and I examined the product and expiration date prior to the procedure; however, I find as time goes on some days it looks normal and other days it looks inflamed and irritated and above the vermillion boarder appearing uneven. Is there any way some of it can be removed?
Liquid silicone is essentially impossible to completely remove from the lips after injection. Lumps or bumps in the lips may indicate a granuloma or local inflammation, which might be removed via a minor office procedure. Solid silicone implants for lip augmentation, however, can easily be removed.
Most plastic surgeons generally prefer other injectable fillers, such as Restylane for lip enhancement. Although results with hyaluronic acid fillers are not as long as silicone treatment, any minor lumps or bumps usually resolve.
Speak with your plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Which among of these (Juvederm, collagen, or Restylane) pose lesser risks of getting complications related after a lip augmentation lift?
Nowadays, lips can be enhanced with many injectable fillers, such as Juvederm, Restylane, or fat. The hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane and Juvederm) are the best options for office treatments, where results are immediate after a quick office procedure. Results last for several months and have the least risk of potential complications. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed by injecting another material, hyaluronidase, if necessary. Collagen injections are no longer used by plastic surgeons or dermatologist currently due to the benefits of hyaluronic acid alternatives for lip augmentation.
Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

What is the Best Treatment for Getting Larger Looking Lips?
The following options for lip augmentation include:
- lip injection (hyaluronic acid, Restylane, Juvederm)
- lip implant
- lip plastic surgery
Injection are typically temporary, lasting 4-6 months. Injections with fat may be longer lasting. Some lip implants are made of silicone and provide permanent results. Plastic surgery on the lips also provide long-lasting results, but may be the most invasive.
There is no best option. The injections are the least initial cost ranging around $600, but require repeat treatments. Implants and surgery provide the longest results, but may be more expensive up front. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon specialist help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
