I had this done ten years ago and was told it was going going to stay for a year but here it is ten years later and I still look the same as when it was first done. Total trout mouth going on. I'm so sad I had it done. It makes me look like the joker from batman so I've been told. I want it out. Not sure what I have to do. Any suggestions? Please help! I'm tired of being ugly.

Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you. How much did you have put in and did you have any adverse reactions at the time? It's hard to imagine that fiiller could last 10 years, but it's obvious something is going on in there. Have you gotten any advice from other plastic surgeons?

I've been told I would probably need some kind of surgery which could leave a scar on my face. I will be looking further into it before I make any fast decisions. I don't want another nightmare to happen.

New Jersey and right now I'm looking for a dr in the area who will actually do this surgery. I've had to dr on here both say the same thing. They both say surgical procedure will be needed.

Hi anne, I'm sorry you are feeling like this. I don't think you have trout mouth and I don't think you look like the Joker. Man, comments like that can be so hurtful, can't they?

Have you seen another doctor to find out what your options are? How do your lips feel? Do they feel natural to the touch?

Anne I had surgery underneath my lip so only scars inside. I went to Germany to dr with intense experience with artecoll. But want u to know they can cut underneath the lip so u don't see the scarring. But before doing surgery at least give dr Rhoda
Narins a call and see if 40 mg undiluted kenalog will help you. I was overfilled with permanent filler but u may have better luck shrinking radiesse since it's considered not permanent. I hope that she can help you.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you. They should never use this product in the lips.

I wish I knew that back in 2004. It was so new then and of course being young and nieve I jumped on it. Never again. I do research on every little thing I do these days. I plan on doing something about it soon. Now that I have some extra money I will do more research on fixing this. Thanks for everyone's concerns.

I have no idea why this doctor injected radiesse into your lips!! It is not meant to be put there and all the literature reads not to do it in thin skin areas. Are you sure it was radiesse? I can't believe it lasted 10 years. So.. maybe you can contact someone in your area and talk to them. Massage, steroids and benadryl . But I have no idea about the lips. I had it injected in tear troughs and I had to finally have a lower eye lift. Even then the doctor said he could not get it all because it looked like thin sheets of plastic. He scraped what he could after it was injected, without my permission, TWO years later. It was a nightmare for me.

I have same problem but with artefill and had 2 surgeries to remove it and area above lip still sticks out. Have you tried dr Rhoda narins? I am also in nj and travel to white plains for 40mg undiluted kenalog. She is the only dr willing to do this that I can find.

Dr narins doesn't do surgery. She referred me to dr loeb in NYC but I did not go to him because I wanted someone familiar with artecoll.

try Dr. Samuel Lam, he specializes in removing fat and silicone from lips, I bet he could help you. You will need to email him some good photos. Check out his work in the lip reduction section.
