Modified Upper Lip Lift for Silicone Correction – Right Side - This lovely lady had the misfortune of being injected with silicone in the past. Contrary to popular belief, once injected silicone cannot be removed like an implant would be. The tiny beads integrate into the surrounding tissues and in a large proportion of patients will be rejected at some point in the future. This caused lengthening and heaviness of the lip. Lip lift and mucosal excisions were performed to help lighten the appearance of the upper lip. Swelling is still subsiding 4 months following the procedure as silicone causes prolonged inflammation.
