Can Collagen Injections be removed from the lips?

venividivici1Jul 11, 2014
I have had collagen injected to my lips. I am not sure what type of collagen it was, but the lady who did it said that it is permanent. So I guess it is one of the synthetic ones. I would like to remove it from my lips. Is it possible? Will I have to have the same procedure of cutting the lips open, as it is done with silicone removal? Or is there some other way? I also heard about Ultherapy, which can help with bad silicone injections. Does it apply to my case?

Collagen is prone to an allergic reaction and thus Restylane and Juvederm injections are used in my practice to fine tune small areas of the nose without surgery.
