My body rejects fillers, would lip implants work for smoker's lines? (Photos)

March 12, 2023
Asked By:KAnthony323

I've had lip fillers a number of times, and my body rejects them by encapsulating them and making hard balls, which eventually get absorbed and disappear within a few weeks. I have pretty bad smoker's lines, and I wonder what my other options are. Would lip implants work for this? I have breast implants (2000 - saline), and my body didn't reject those, so I'm hoping the same might be true for those? Help!!
