I got a breast augmentation almost 5 months ago. I am wondering if it is okay if I get my lips filled? I don’t want it to cause capsular contracture or any complications to my implants. Please let me know if this is okay. Thank you!

I would advise waiting until after your pregnancy to obtain a lip augmentation with fillers.
Technique is key when it comes to lip injections, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Indeed having more plump lips and/or cheeks (e.g. with fillers) will better balance the face such that the chin appears to be smaller (or rather better proportioned).
If you are concerned about whether you have experienced a complication from lip injections, your provider should be providing this reassurance. Your lips look unnaturally swollen but the blood supply does not appear to have been compromised.
