I’ve had 4 rounds of Silikon 1000 into my lips spread over a year and a half. The first 1 was to both lips and the other 3 were just to my top lip. The doctor used “micro droplet” injections. I’ve seen “very” little difference and the doctor said that my body might be “ removing” or “clearing” it out. I do metabolize fillers quickly but I thought Silikon 1000 was permanent? This picture is how my lips look now. Any information is appreciated! Thank you!
Answer: Silikon-1000 is a permanent and irremovable filler in everybody. We have been using Silikon-1000 for well over 20 years to provide permanent and natural looking lip augmentation. Based on your photo, you appear to have a pleasing upper and lower lip appearance. It's not clear to me why you required for treatments, however, I would need to see a photograph of your pre-injected lip appearance. Generally, two to three treatments are necessary to achieve a desired result. But sometimes for unnecessary inpatients with extremely small lip appearances. Thank you so much for this question! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Filler removal Unfortunately this filler cannot be dissolved with Vitrase / hyaluronidase. A combination of fractional laser or radiofrequency, Venus Legacy treatments, and 5FU/steroid injections could help with the lump. Otherwise, aside from waiting to see if it goes away, the only other permanent option is surgical removal. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Permanent Fillers Are Called Permanent BC They Cannot Be Metabolized Away Nor Easily Removed First off, Silikon 1000 is approved for use in the eye; it is NOT approved for use as a dermal filler. Secondly permanent agents, such as Silikon 1000 and Bellafil, which is approved for use as a cosmetic filler, are termed permanent bc they are foreign materials for which the body possesses no natural enzymes to metabolize them away, unlike the case with natural HA fillers, which can be dissolved with a natural enzyme called hyaluronidase. Surgical removal of permanent fillers is actually surgery, that, like all surgery, risks the development of disfiguring scars. What's more, once a permanent filler has been injected complications have been known to occur not only shortly afterward, but even five, ten or twenty+ years later, especially when the treated tissue is manipulated as can occur with dental work. . Additionally, even if there are no untoward reactions following treatment with a permanent filler, the subsequent use in the same area of a natural filler can potentially trigger complications of nodules and granulomas even if performed years later. For all the foregoing, I do not use, nor recommend using, permanent fillers, especially when we have natural HA fillers that can provide reasonable durability of response and can be dissolved if ever necessary or desired. I hope this information helps and also serves as a cautionary note to other readers. .
