I got a 5mm lip implant in my upper lip. I almost didn't get it because I thought it would look too big or fake. Instead, it didn't really make a difference. Maybe bc it's placed at the wetdry border. Idk. I want a very prominent, pouty upper lip. If I remove the implant, how soon can I start getting the silicone microdroplet injections? Because wouldn't a tunnel have been created? I want the product to evenly distrubute. Will it look weird because I've had the implant? Seems like my only option

Answer: Lip augmentation, permanent or temporary I would suggest leaving the lip implant in place. Though it may seem like it has not really done anything to enhance your lip, it likely has helped augment the lip. Since the implant is causing you no issues I would suggest simply building on the lip augmentation that the silicone implant has already started. I would also recommend using a temporary filler in the lips like Juvederm, prior to having anything permanent injected in the lips. Some of the most difficult corrections of the lip that I have had to perform are from the use of purified silicone injections to the lips. You will need injections to the body of the lip and not the wet/dry border in order to create the pouty effect you desire.

Answer: Filler into Lip After Implant I would wait at least 3 months before getting any filler placed. Also make sure to go to someone experienced before getting silicone placed. My suggestion would be to avoid any permanent fillers if possible and try something like perlane or voluma for a more "pouty" lip. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
