Can the silicone be fully removed with scar tissue? (Photos)

October 27, 2019
Asked By:ZamiraSc in New York, NY

I got permanent lip injections 10 years ago in Russia (I think it was biopolymer or bio alcamid) and I want to surgically remove it. I would like to know the approximate cost of this procedure and whether while removing the scar tissue, the silicone can be fully removed as well.
