I am from NYC and 15years ago I went to a well known doctor that did various filling, Botox procedures. He suggested I get juvederm on my upper lip area not in my lips. Unfortunately he didn’t injected juvedrem but silicone. Is there any way this can be remove and is the procedure?

Answer: Silicone Injections in Nasal Labial Fold Thank you for your question regarding how to remove silicone from not necessarily your upper lip but your nasal labial fold. It’s unfortunate that a doctor injected silicone into your face. This is not recommended. I would suggest surgical removal. Liposuction of this area is dangerous and not accurate. I would suggest direct surgical removal. The area that you circled is called the nasal labial fold. This is a hole that extends from the corner of your nose to the corner of your lips. I’ve had several patients where I make an incision in this fold and directly excise the product and associated scar. The scar heals very well. Please seek an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon for the removal of silicone in the nasal labial fold. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
