I do not offer Restylane lip augmentation in my practice, so I have no personal experience injecting Restylane in a patient that has had previous Silikon-1000 injections.
It's more common to have patients request permanent lip augmentation with Silikon-1000 after receiving temporary HA products, like Restylane. I have proceeded with Silikon-1000 after Restylane without incident, but I do not like to mix fillers if there is any residual HA present.
Complications like nodules, bumps or asymmetry could occur from either product.
If you've been happy with your Silikon-1000 for 5 years, you may want to revisit your doctor for the additional volume you desire.
Hope this helps you.

Hi Tom:

Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience with liquid injectable silicone for permanent, natural-looking lip augmentation.

All the best from West Orange, NJ

The circled bumps in your upper lip are all internal, and in favorable locations. You should have a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon try dilute triamcinolone injections; these can often make these bumps disappear rather quickly. If you'd like to have them removed, in the right hands, there should be no significant scarring. I hope this helps, and best regards.
