Liquid silicone droplets removal, advice? (photo)

snowflake sOct 21, 2016
I have had liquid silicon injections done in the bridge of my nose and lips area about 2 years ago. I had rinoplasty surgery 7 months prior. I was told by the doctor who injected the silicon that everything should be fine. Now my lips look uneven, I have puffy eyes, and worst part is that I feel horrible : nausea, shortness of breath , back pain, constant strong headache, short term memorry loss. Is there any possibilities to remove droplets or some way to help me ?

Thank you for your query. MRI scans are good for soft tissues, whilst CT scans are good for bone. If you wanted to look at your nasal bones, then having a CT scan would be more appropriate. Also make sure you have a good radiologist would can correctly report the scans for you. Kind regards,

Thank you for your question. We often hear from patients that their upper lip feels stiff and even looks a little lower than before. Most of the time this resolves by 6 months. I would wait a year after surgery before doing any type of lip lift. Good luck with your recovery.

I don't know how a surgeon would approach a forehead reduction in your situation, but I would recommend staying away from it.  Unlikely to make a worthwhile difference.
