Silicone Lip Injections Get Larger over the Years?

Silicone lip injections do tend to get lumpy and bigger over the years

Silicone is a permanent product and still not approved for use by the ASAPS or ASPS. There can be alot of problems with silcone including the inability to remove it with any ease, infection, granuloma formation, to name a few. I do not know what Lisa Riina had done to her lips.
