Sheila55,What was injected into your lips exactly? Why do you want the material removed? If you feel you have big lips after cosmetic injections, try not to panick, and give it time.Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injectable fillers such has Restylane or Juvederm is common today. Fewer cosmetic specialists are using collagen for lip enhancement. The lip naturally swells & bruises from the injection. Most of the swelling, which contributes to the trout pout, goes down within a day or so, but sometimes longer.Lip exercises and ice packs help reduce the swelling. After several days, if you are still unhappy with the lip size, you have 2 options after hyaluronic acid injection. Either wait it out, as your body naturally absorbs and breaks down the injectable filler over a few months. Another option to consider is using hyaluronidase, a material which accelerates the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. The last option is to have your plastic surgeon make a very small skin incision and squeeze out hyaluronic acid.Treatment options largely depend on the exact material used for lip augmentation. Speak to you cosmetic specialist who provided the lip enhancement procedure.

Lip Filler cost ranges from 500 to 800 dollars depending on surgeon/injector price. I would say the most important thing is choosing the right injector and not the cost or product used. Research the physician and look at before and afters. Thank you.
In fact, the upper lip should be about 1/2 the size as the lower lips to maintain the correct balance within the face. The puckering that you create with lip augmentation should also be very specific. The upper lip puckering should be in the central 1/4 or about an iris width. The lower lip...
