I'm looking to get silicone injections into my lips, however I'm really scared that it will end up looking like the actress Lisa Rinna's lips. Can anyone tell me if her lips became like that over the years or is it from too much silicone being injected? Thanks.

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

Lip augmentations make the lips look so nice but can be disasterous if the wrong material is put in them.

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.
