I need to have my implant removed. It’s not even in one side and when I smile you can see that side protruding more. So upset. The pain to get it done was horrible. The numbing injections were the worst. I hope I can contact my dr and see if he can take it out

Did this just happen or has it always been that way?

It’s been like this. But this was the second time he did them. I just couldn’t go through the injection pain anymore so I left them. But now they are really bothering me. And possibly it did move. Who knows. I need it out. I don’t know what to do.

Have you gotten the Juvaderm along with the implants? If so, how well do you feel they work together? I had 5mm implants placed over a year ago, and though my lips are fuller, I didn't get the desired results. I've been thinking about getting injections to plump them up a bit more, but I wanted to hear someone's experience with mixing the two!

Hi. I haven't got the injections but I definitely want to!!!! I will go for a consultation soon!!!
December 6, 2014
Any update??? I went in for a consultation as well and the Dr told me he didn't recommend doing injections for fear of penetrating the implants. If I'm not mistaken I have read that others have combined the two, and it has worked out well, so I wonder if maybe he is unfamiliar with the PermaLip implants, or my implants were placed closer to the surface of my lips.

so you had the lip implants and now you still need juvederm??? wow that scares me,,, i want the implants,,, but i thought once we get the implants we no loner need juvederm,,, please tell me if i should do this or not/// THANK YOU

I spoke to a Dr recently and asked his advice for mixing the two. Since my lips were small before the implant, the implant is fairly prominent in my lips, and he didn't recommend doing the injections for fear of penetrating the implant as well. I wanted to try it, to see if I could achieve a plumper look but apparently that's not always an option. while the implants are fabulous and I don't regret getting them, they just dont do as much as injections do, and I got the largest size available. So pretty much, what you get after you're all healed up, is what you're stuck with.

I had the same experience! Got the 4mm, had to upgrade to the 5mm, and there was STILL minimal difference. Very frustrating...They need to make a larger size implant!

I think your lips look really good, won't he swap them for 3, I think your bottom lip would look fine if you put in the 5mm
