Removing a Permalip implant after 10 years - Will my lips be the same?

Question

I have a permalip lip implant about 10 years ago. I am thinking of removing it. Will my lips be the same after removal? Will there be wrinkling, crookedness, curvature? When can I have a new hyaluronic acid filling? I have concerns. I would appreciate your help.

Lip implants are not difficult to remove and usually doesn't leave the lips much worst off without the implant since a lot of fibrous tissue usually keeps the lips looking somewhat filled in on its own.  You can usually get fillers about a month later.
