Unfortunately had an emergency surgery in hospital as implants were migrated into my side cheek. After surgery cannot smile at all. It looks like I have a tight top lip giving me the look of gummy smile. Can anyone help fix my smile and lip tightness.

Wishing you good health, I hope your focus after so much head ache can be redirected to other meaningful things in your life. I wonder if having cancer effected your immune system and if that could have been a factor in such extreme migration of the implants?

2 top pictures when I had the Permalip lip implants in for 4 years, after within 2 year after slowing migration occurred, I had done everything from massages to exercises to fillers to stop migration. Surgeons removed the implant from outside my cheek, with skin incision. Bottom was removed as moved towards teeth too. It's been 8 months now, and I cannot smile at all, I cannot open my mouth. I've asked surgeons and they can't help me, please someone help me or led me to someone in Australia.

Get it done definitely recommended for long term in saving money and pain.

I had mine done in September 2015. It has been somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster ride. Not the huge pout I envisioned myself having. I am glad I got them because I could not imagine my lips thinner since they just look normal to me now. My only gripe is that my right side is slightly more elevated than my left side so I can slightly see it lifted on the right corner. It also has a square-ish bend to it when I open my mouth and let my bottom lip hang. Luckily it's not an expression I make unless I'm staring at myself in the mirror so I doubt anyone can see what I'm focusing on. I still have filler put into my lips for certain spots just to even them out on the bottom and fill the upper out. When they come out with a size 6 I will be changing my upper lip out for that size.

@ Turkeylicious - I would definitely try to see a doctor as soon as possible just so your lip doesn't settle in the wrong place and cause scar tissue. I would assume it would be harder to fix the longer time goes on. You look very pretty with them :)
