Removal of Permanent Fillers
Restoring Natural Appearance
In recent years, an increasing number of people are seeking correction of older aesthetic lip procedures where permanent fillers, such as liquid silicone, paraffin, or other materials, were used. While these materials may have initially provided the desired volume, over time they can lead to deformities, asymmetry, inflammation, or even permanent tissue damage.
The surgical removal of permanent filler material from the lips is a specialized and precise procedure aimed at restoring the natural structure and texture of the lips, as well as improving their aesthetics and functionality.
When Is Removal Recommended?
This procedure is advised in cases of:
- Lip shape deformities
- Asymmetry or hard lumps due to material migration
- Chronic inflammation, redness, or sensitivity
- Psychological discomfort with appearance
- Desire to return to a natural look or prepare for new aesthetic enhancement
How Is the Removal Performed?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia and involves:
- Small incisions inside the mouth (mucosal approach)
- Careful identification and removal of the material (liquid or granulomas)
- Preservation of healthy tissues for optimal aesthetic and functional results
- Closure with absorbable sutures, leaving no external scars
The duration varies depending on the type and extent of the material but usually lasts 1–1.5 hours.
Recovery
✔ Same-day discharge
✔ Mild swelling or sensitivity for 5–10 days
✔ Avoid hot foods and
excessive talking for the first few days
✔ Absorbable stitches – no removal required
✔
Final results become evident within 4–6 weeks
Can Aesthetic Enhancement Be Performed Afterwards?
Yes. Once the area has fully healed and tissues have recovered (usually after 2–3 months), additional treatments can be performed, such as:
- Gentle volume restoration with hyaluronic acid
- Shape refinement with surgical techniques
