Based on your before and after photos, it's not clear why you had Silicone removed from your lips. After your lip reduction scars are healed from removal of permanent filler, Volume replacement may be considered depending on your examination. Wishing you easy recovery. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
The answer depends on how long since surgical removal of silicone implants. In the short term (within the first 3-6 months) it would be advisable to allow healing to occur. As healing occurs, the swelling and asymmetry may improve without intervention. If asymmetry or contour irregularities persist beyond this time, there are several options available, such as autologous fat transplant and hyaluronic acid fillers, that may yield temporary (or even permanent) improvement.
Dear vivilove87,I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for a more long lasting result, I recommend fat grafting. That is, using your own bodies fat to make your lips naturally look more shapely. The bonus is that the results last many many years.In general, I avoid using permanent prosthesis because I find that the lips are such dynamic and sensitive structures, the end result is not natural.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
