Looking for Specialist to Remove Gore-tex Lip Implants in the Los Angeles Area

I had the gore-tex strands put into my lips around 8 years ago. They are very hard and my upper lip is too large. I desperately need a specialist to have them removed. Likewise I will probably need injections to fill the void after they heal.

Lip Implants, Lip Gortex

I used Gortex threads and lip implant on many patients for over 10 years before using Alloderm as a superior lip implant. I have removed Gortex from many patients through small incisions on the inside of the lips.
