Asked By:real.self.123 in Los Angeles, CA

Hi, I had a lip filler (silicone) injected around 15 years ago, and I'd like to remove it because it no longer looks natural and has some lumps. I've heard that there are ways silicone can be dissolved, but I'm not sure how this works. Is this risky and what is the rate of success? Would my lips go the way they were before the filler?
