to the first person that posted... did you have your implant removed and how did your lips look afterwards?

the dr did not give my money back, only half and it has been 5 months of pain, embarrassment, depression, being self concious, putting off things, avoiding people etc. dr has tried to put some juvederm in lip but has been difficult because now i have a lot of scar tissue where my lip split. repeated office visits (taking approx 3 hrs each time, waste my day waiting on him to see him for only about 5 mins) very frustrating experience, do not know if my lip will go back to normal, smile is not normal because scar tissue. terrible terrible experience with dr that told me only side effects i might have would be 7-10 days of swelling. i soooo wish i had never done this!!!!!

I had mine removed yesterday. I feel soooo much better. the implant had been poking out on left side of my face, felt like razor blade scraping inside of my lip. Was very painful, nightmare experience. I am not sure what my lips will end up looking like, if i will have scars? if feeling will return to my lips? I don't suggest this procedure for anyone.

my doctor just wanted my money, did not care what i wanted. i wanted NATURAL looking lips and was tired of shots so thought this would be answer, THESE DO NOT LOOK NATURAL AT ALL!!! i look like bad plastic surgery job! smile is crooked. i had mine done dec 6, dr said would just be swollen couple days then would have soft lips, nicely shaped lips. still swollen, still very painful because the edge of implant feels like it is going to poke out of my lip. top lip is hard. they are not shaped right, wanted pouty bottom lip, instead lips are straight across, i look like a fish. Definitely would not recommend especially for price, discomfort and not natural look or smile. some drs are just con artists, tell u whatever to get your money and yes use you for guinea pig. I would not take plastic surgery lightly. i am really upset over having this done... full of regret

i had same prob w implant, want mine removed! the doctor did not tell me that the lip implant could stick out. having the implants put in split the middle of my upper lip because swelled so bad, hard to heal because everytime i smile etc resplits. implant poking WAY out of upper left lip. Very painful. Have numbness, nerve damage to lips. Not a natural look at all. Risky. I absolutely regret getting it done and am also worried what will look like after removed - scars? permanent nerve damage? etc.
