Implant removed

Hey all. Well I couldn't stand it. I tried to get use to it and just be ok with it but when I don't like something, very rarely do I change my mind. So I had the implant removed by another doctor because i couldn't get on Dr Harris schedule until September. The procedure was not bad because they numb you all up but its definitely sore this time because she had basically dig it out of my lip. The bottom implant was put in fairly deep so it took more to search for it and fish it out. It has been 5 days and it's better but still swollen and tender. Doesn't look bad right now because of the swelling but back to injections as soon as I am able.

How much it was for the removal ?

Why did you remove your permalip implant? I also had it and removed it, because I didn't like the wide flat look it gave my lips

Your lips look really good with Juvederm. How much do you have to use to get the look you like? Do you use the new Juverderm XL? I am asking because my natural lips are very much like your natural lips. But I am in Florida. How long does Juvederm last for you?

With Juvederm added

Had some Juvederm added to plump me up and even out my lip since the implant is not in evenly. Much better but will still have this implant removed as soon as I can.

sorry your not happy but they look very shapely with the juvederm

I probably will not have them replaced. I feel like the implant is in crooked and I just don't want it to happen again and then have to do another procedure. Honestly, I felt like the doctor rushed through the procedure. I have watched many many videos on this and he didn't do any markings. He just numbed me up, made his incisions, and shoved his tools in. I feel like the tunnel is not in line with my lips or where it's suppose to be and I feel like if I have the 5 put in that it will go in the same tunnel, which is a lot of my problem.

Not happy with these implants. Maybe I am just use to Juvederm but I am contemplating haveming hem removed. I know there is healing time and whatnot but I don't like the stiffness of it and I can't really rub my lips together, like when you use Chapstick. The lip doesn't go in because of the implant. Feeling frustrated. I feel a bigger space on one side of my lip than the other so it is making me think the unevenness has to do with this issue. I know t may not look like it is uneven so much in photos but I see it and they are definitely not the size I wanted. Much smaller than how I have been the past three years.

are ypu going to go with bigger implants or do you just don't like the at all ?
May 12, 2016
I just don't think i like it. I feel like filler is a better product for me but I still have not heard from the doctors office from two days ago when i asked what the removal process entails, so I am not sure I can or can't do at this point.

I am doing ok. I think I am just going to get some filler out in for now until I can have these removed.

I'm surprised you didn't receive the 5mm. I noticed marked fullness in your Juviderm photos compared to the Permalip. I was considering ermalip, but the more I've read the more I see dissatisfied customers.
