Lip Implant removal

What type of implant did you have removed and how much surgery was required to remove it. During the healing period about 2-4 weeks, monthly injections of Steroid probably would be beneficial for any residual lumpiness. David Ellis MD Toronto Facial Plastic Surgery Art of Facial Surgery

Lip Implant and post operative scarring

If your lip implant removal surgery was just performed today, it is still very early in the post operative period. As the swelling subsides, the problem you are experiencing may well resolve. Give it time and check with your surgeon for their advice on how to help speed the process. Best wishes.
