Upper and Lower Lip Silicone Removal surgery for Firmer Healthier Contour - A more natural lip appearance can often be achieved by carefully removing harmful foreign material from the lips. Our patient is a 28-year-old White female who came to Dr. J. Timothy Katzen because of previously injected foreign bodies in both her upper and lower lips. She was most concerned about the retained material, the scar tissue surrounding it, and the risk of granulomas and associated cancer. To treat these issues, Dr. Katzen performed silicone injection removal of the lips under general anesthesia. In this procedure, the abnormal injected material is carefully identified within the lip tissue and surgically excised. At the same time, any problematic scar tissue is also addressed to help restore a smoother contour. Lip foreign body removal is an advanced reconstructive procedure because the surgeon must remove harmful material without overly disrupting the natural architecture of the lips. These injections can cause chronic swelling, firmness, nodules, uneven shape, and visible lip distortion that cannot be corrected without surgery. By removing the foreign bodies and refining the tissue, this procedure can improve both safety and appearance. Her after photos were taken just 2 weeks after surgery and already show remarkable results, including better symmetry, softer-looking lips, and a healthier overall contour. Since healing is still in the early phase, her progress is especially impressive and should continue to improve over time.

Foreign Body Lip Injection Removal After Illegal Permanent Filler Injections - Permanent lip fillers can become a serious problem when they cause pain, burning, and changes in the way the lips look and feel. Our patient is a 41-year-old White female who sought Dr. J. Timothy Katzen after having permanent filler placed illegally into both the upper and lower lips 20 years ago by an aesthetician in Germany. She had been told the product was a biopolymer. Years later, she began experiencing burning sensations in her lips and wanted the product removed before the problem worsened. Dr. Katzen recommended lip foreign-body injection removal to remove the permanent filler and the tissue affected by it. Under general anesthesia, he carefully opened the lips and removed the abnormal material from both the upper and lower lips. Lip foreign body removal is often needed when permanent fillers harden, irritate the tissue, or create an unnatural contour. Unlike temporary fillers, permanent products can remain in the lips for years and continue causing symptoms. The goal of surgery is to remove the foreign material, improve comfort, and help restore a more natural lip shape. These photos were taken 1 week after surgery and already show our patients remarkable result. Her case demonstrates Dr. Katzens expertise in lip filler removal surgery, permanent filler removal, and foreign body removal of the lips for symptomatic biopolymer injections. Early healing already suggests a softer texture, better contour, and improved comfort.

Lip Surgery - This beautiful woman came to see me concerned of the appearance of facial aging. One subtle signs of aging is the change in facial proportions. Particularly what is often overlooked is lip elongation. This can be improved with a lip lift procedure. Better balance is provided to the face with more youthful proportions. It give the appearance of filler without adding any volume.
