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

Asked By:davidsonelle in Los Angeles, California

Hello, I have had PerMa lip implants placed about 5 years ago and I think the implants moved above my lips. I asked my surgeon to get it repositioned, he said there is no such thing because there isn’t much space for the implants to move within the lips, so he suggested I remove it. My question is if it would be possible to reposition it writhing the lip line?

What is the biggest lip implant size on the market? Are custom implants available? (photos)
Kevin Ende, MD says:

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.
