Removing Permalip implant - concerned about how it will look after (Photo)

Question

I would like to remove my permalip implant. (Placed in upper lip in 2012) I am concerned about how it will look after. (I have been told I can’t have filler for 12 weeks after). Will it look very wrinkled? Will there be any scar tissue that could cause an uneven appearance once they have been removed? Does anyone have a photo after removal of Permalip implants? Thank you

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Once removed, you still get the benefit of the implant having been in there for awhile since fibrous tissue buildup around the implant gives the appearance of fullness so you may not need fillers later.   They are easy to put in and  easy to remove.  You won't have any of that wrinkled skin usually.

These come out quickly and easy.  Will take 10 minutes in the office to remove.  After that you should see how you like it.  We can add filler or fat.
