Thank you for the question. It really depends on what filler was used. If it was truly permanent (e.g., silicone) then the treatment for removal is actually a lip reduction. Silicone causes inflammation and granulation tissue in the lips and can't be extracted or dissolved directly. Fot other types of permanent lip augmentation, such as Permalip implants, these can be removed under local anesthesia. Best of luck moving forward!
Permanent filler in lips is not always a permanent solution. Patients can develop nodules, granulomas, uneveness, and overly large appearance of the lips. Lip implants are readily removed and can result in scarring of the lips. Silicone injections of the lips typically require surgical excision to remove and reshape the lips.
If you had a permanent filler injected into your lips, the only way to remove any of it would be to do so surgically.
If you had permanent lip filling with injectible rather than implanted material it would likely have been silicone or fat. Both of these can be reduced surgically but not readily. Solid implants can be removed quite easily.

I read your concerns and reviewed your photo. A mucocele usually presents as a bulge in the lower lip as a result of a blocked minor salivary gland. These may be managed by drainage, marsupialization, or excision. When a mucocele is excised, this may result in a localized loss of lip volume...
Your concerns are valid, as we have all seen terrible examples of overfilled lips on celebrities that are unflattering and look unreal. An expert lip enhancer will know just how much dermal filler is needed and where it should be placed. The mouth can be made to look a touch wider by injecting...
