Revision Lip Augmentation: Removing Silicone Injections

Information on Lip Augmentations and Removing Lip Silicone in New York, NY.

What is a Revision Lip Augmentation?

Unfortunately, not all lip augmentations meet the patient’s needs and want. Sometimes, they can even leave the lips looking lumpy and asymmetrical. Other times, the lips can become infected, or form nodules and reactive tissues called granulomas.

If a patient is unhappy with the results of prior lip augmentation, they may seek out a revision procedure. During a surgical revision, Dr. Jacono uses inner-lip incisions to avoid external scars and removes or shifts implants. Sometimes, he grafts fat and tissue from other parts of the body to create better symmetry. Many surgeons use lip implant materials like GoreTex, silicone, and AlloDerm, but Dr. Jacono tends to avoid these synthetic implants.

Not all revision lip enhancements require surgery. For patients who have had fillers like Restylane, Juvéderm, or Perlane, Dr. Jacono injects an enzyme called hyaluronidase into the lips. This dissolves all injected material in 1 to 2 days.

Why is Lip Augmentation So Popular?

Lip enhancement has been popular for many years. One major reason for this is that celebrities and influencers often undergo lip augmentation procedures. The Kardashians and Jenners, for example, admit to having lip injections, which influences the average person to opt for similar solutions.

A more general reason for lip augmentation’s popularity is that plump, symmetrical lips are associated with physical attractiveness. Some of the most beautiful female celebrities, like Angelina Jolie, have large, sensuous lips.

Unlike other aesthetic treatments, lip augmentation procedures are simple and have minimal downtime. The average lip injection takes thirty minutes to perform, and patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately. There may be some minor swelling, but this usually resolves after 2 to 3 days. Lip augmentation surgery lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, and most patients completely recover within 1 to 2 weeks.

Can Silicone Lip Injections Be Corrected?

Dr. Jacono regularly treats patients who wish to remove troublesome silicone injections. Silicone injections are permanent, but are not FDA-approved, and may make the lips look lumpy and uneven. Silicone injections can also cause granulomas and other unsightly complications. This is why it is important to consult a board-certified doctor who only uses trusted medical solutions.

Sometimes, silicone injections can be treated with cortisone, a kind of corticosteroid. In more severe cases, surgery is required to remove injected material. Dr. Jacono has many years of experience helping patients who have had unsuccessful silicone injections.

Why Choose Dr. Jacono for Your Corrective Lip Enhancement Surgery?

Dr. Jacono is a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive training in corrective lip enhancement. He is also an expert in reconstructive lip surgery. He prides himself on delivering the most natural results possible.

Dr. Jacono has published extensively on lip augmentation procedures (click here to see his publications). He has also lectured all over the country and internationally and performs reconstructive surgery on patients who have lost their lips to cancer. His unique expertise makes him qualified to provide some of the best revision lip augmentation results in the world.

To see if you are a candidate for revision lip augmentation surgery, please contact Dr. Jacono’s offices in Manhattan or on Long Island.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
