Removing Lip Silicone in New York, NY

LIP AUGMENTATION REVISION – REMOVAL LIP SILICONE – CORRECTIVE LIP ENHANCEMENT

Unfortunately in lip augmentation injections and lip augmentation surgery not all surgical results go as planned, or meet the patient's expectations. This can happen for a variety of reasons. The most common reason for revision of lip augmentation is asymmetry of the lips caused by scar tissue formation, infection after surgery, or the patient had an implant that is extruding, shifting or causing granuloma formation (the bodies reaction against the material injected).

Most times he can perform the revision surgery with incisions inside the lips so there are no external scars. Sometimes he needs to graft tissue from your own body to create a natural symmetric contour to the lips. He avoids using any synthetic implants in the lips so that further problems can be avoided.
