A more natural lip appearance can often be achieved by carefully removing harmful foreign material from the lips. Our patient is a 28-year-old White female who came to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen because of previously injected foreign bodies in both her upper and lower lips. She was most concerned about the retained material, the scar tissue surrounding it, and the risk of granulomas and associated cancer. To treat these issues, Dr. Katzen performed silicone injection removal of the lips under general anesthesia. In this procedure, the abnormal injected material is carefully identified within the lip tissue and surgically excised. At the same time, any problematic scar tissue is also addressed to help restore a smoother contour. Lip foreign body removal is an advanced reconstructive procedure because the surgeon must remove harmful material without overly disrupting the natural architecture of the lips. These injections can cause chronic swelling, firmness, nodules, uneven shape, and visible lip distortion that cannot be corrected without surgery. By removing the foreign bodies and refining the tissue, this procedure can improve both safety and appearance. Her after photos were taken just 2 weeks after surgery and already show remarkable results, including better symmetry, softer-looking lips, and a healthier overall contour. Since healing is still in the early phase, her progress is especially impressive and should continue to improve over time.

Upper and Lower Lip Silicone Removal surgery for Firmer Healthier Contour

A 26-year-old cosmetic surgery patient came to our plastic surgery clinic requesting improvement of his chin and lips. He wanted more square, masculine chin and mild reduction of his lips.

Clinical evaluation revealed a small, narrow chin positioned far behind his protruding lips and nose on profile view. He also demonstrated narrow chin which was over-shadowed by large lips on front view (left). It included placement of a large chin implant  through a small incision placed inside of the mouth as well as reduction of upper and lower lips.
