Stretched out lips when you remove lip implants

WORTH IT$1,700
I removed the top implant and 5mm gauged implant made my lip curl under when it was removed. I had to have a lip lift by Dr Robb Jr to repair the damage. Dr. Meadows was very good to me during my time with the implant, but I’m glad it’s gone.

Do not put filler over your lip implant!!

Learn from my experience and think twice before you add filler to your lip implant. I had added filler over my implant about 4 other times with great results, but glad time I did it.... my lip became infected. It was a week of painful swelling, shots, and meds to get better. Dr Meadows went out of his way to take care of me and get me better. I haven’t have filler over my implant since.

Thanks for sharing. Did you ever consider a lip lift - would you do it with the implant?
I just got a lip lift and I'm still healing from it. I go in next week to remove the bottom implant.
Sorry, maybe I misread- do you still have your top implant, while you had your lip lift?
I currently have an implant (16 years) and scheduled for a lip lift in 2 weeks. I'm terrified the lip implant will make my lip look too rolled out and over done w the lip lift. Did you have this experience?

Picture I posted last

Sorry, I meant to post on my last update that the picture on the left is with the implant and the one on the right is several months after the top implant was removed. I knew the implant was placed wrong and it was hiding most of my lip since it was placed high. This is why I have more top lip without the implant in. I’m much happier now and I am seriously thinking about doing a lip lift before redoing the top implant again.
