Lip Reduction to Remove Silicone Bumps

Lip Reduction to Remove Silicone Bumps

AFNY
WORTH IT$3,000
I had a small amount of silicone injected into either side of my top lip in 2006 in order to correct what I had thought was an imbalance between my top/bottom lips. As it turned out, the root cause was my teeth were shifting. Fast forward to a couple of years ago and I had Invisalign (didn't know that bottom teeth are supposed to be tucked behind top teeth!)... and the silicone now looks terrible!

I'm getting it removed tomorrow with Dr. Tornambe. Fingers crossed!

Hi, I had the same problem. I had silicone taken out of my lips. You should ask your doctor about how the nerves will be affected. My lips have been numb since surgery and it was 5 months ago. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. I have gone through so much with this stuff. It's hard to remove it!

Hi, So sorry to hear that. I had silicone in the nasolabial folds as well. I recommend Dr. Harrison Lee. He did a great job! My face was really bad! I look normal now, thanks to him.

I’m so happy u r done with that. May I ask how it was removed? Incisions On the nasolabial?

It was done by a deep plane facelift. He cuts around the ears and side of your face. It doesn't look like a scar at all.

For my case it was $3000 for the upper lip.

Day of treatment

Swollen!

AFNY
Half of the swelling is the saline/medicine solution he injected after marking but prior to surgery. I'm feeling extremely sore but am happy to be finally done. The stitches look lopsided but the doctor told me this is normal due to the swelling. My neighbor across the hall is a retired plastic surgeon and he says it looks like a great job as well... will add more pics as the days go by.

Still super swollen, but at least the color has returned to my lip. I haven’t been icing as much as I should because of having to deal with two young children... also, my younger one accidentally whacked his head right into my kisser last night, which caused throbbing pain for at least half an hour.
