WORTH IT$2,800
So I got my bottom lip implant out didn't hurt at all my body was actually pushing it out anyway cause once they get infected the implant starts pushing out but I was surprised to see that after the implant was taken out the fullness is still their the doc actually said that it will remain full because the implant stretches the lip and builds a capsule type thing so I'm very happy with that I still will probably get some juvaderm in it in a few months but here's a pic and my top lip with the implant is doing awesome healing great

How are you doing? Did your bottom lip stay as full? I'm probably getting mine out next week or the week after.

Yes, it's still big. I have asked the Dr to just remove it but he said to wait at least 3 more weeks. I guess to get used to it. I have told him I just want both removed and he won't do it for 3 more weeks!! Needless you say I'm very frustrated. I hope I can convince him to do it this coming Monday so if I do I'll let you know. Please let me know what's going on w yours. Are you having top and bottom removed? Good luck!

I feel so sorry for you having gone through all this. It takes a lot of guts to undergo plastic surgery in the first place. Thanks for sharing your story. You are a good looking man with or without the lip implants!

Hello I'm in kinda the same boat as you. I had permalip 5 mm done on top and bottom about 4 and half weeks ago. A week after the surgery I noticed that the implant was coming out of the corner of my lip on bottom. I went into the doc and he said it was infected and probably needed to come out. I begged him to wait and see so he put me on antibiotics to see if it would help. Any way it has been 4 1/2 weeks since I had it done and no change. I am going in the morning to have the bottom one removed. I was wondering if you ended up getting the bottom one removed and how does your lip look after?

So my bottom lip is def infected it has yellow pus coming from it like crazy I keep have to push it out it's pretty painful too I'm going to see my doc tommorow I want to get it removed I can't handle it anymore this has been a huge emotional roller coaster I guess infection can def happen with these lip implants and not too mention other problems I'm hoping the doc will just take it out my lymph nodes are swollen I keep feeling tired and my stomach keeps getting upset I'm just posting this not to talk anyone out if this implant to to show that this can happen If I could go back and make the decision of getting these I would say no and stay with juvaderm I will be getting that in my bottom lip if when this heals I guess getting them removed hurts really bad too Iv been on a ton of different anti biotics and their not helping my doctor is a very good doctor too he has talked to me a lot and done the best he can with this so I will keep everyone ups date my top lip is doing great however it's not infected looks good can't even tell it's their so I'll be leaving that one as it's not a huge difference from my original lip .

So sorry that you've got an infection, hope it is resolved soon. Your top lip looks great and totally natural so I think you are right to just keep the top since it's subtle. Personally I'm not happy with the way my implant looks/feels. Too firm and creates sort of a ridge above the lip. I may have it removed or a smaller size. Please update on how it goes. All the best.

I've got the ridge above my upper lip as well! Curious, did it go away? Did you do mouth stretching exercises? I'm very fresh from surgery and still healing.

Implants are too risky. The body I feel like would want to reject that foreign piece first rather than a liquid injection

So I went to see the nurse today at my docs office cause my doc is out of town and she said my lip doesn't look infected so she took a syringe needle to try to suck out any fluid In the bottom man did that hurt lol and nothing really came out just some blood I don't have a fever so I switched antibiotics just in. Case and also was told to ice every night I hope the swelling goes down on my bottom lip it looks crazy
