Is it possible to have my 5-year-old lip implants repositioned, not removed, within the lip line? (photos)

Permalip is the best implant on the market right now.  We used to use Softform but these always looked unnatural and there were issues with extrusion.  I have not had any issues to date with Permalip.  Consider upsizing to the 5mm and then adding filler if you want your lips even bigger.
