Should I get a Permalip 4mm or 5mm? (photos)

What can I do about deficient lip after silicone lip removal on both lips? (Photos)
Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) says:

Allow several months to heal before considering any type of reconstruction.  Without an exam, my best guess is your result will be better with lip implants instead of fillers.  Consult with a highly experienced board certified plastic surgeon as an in person evaluation will be needed.
