Removal of Permanent Fillers/Materials
Restoration of the natural appearance of the lips
In recent years, there has been an increasing number of people seeking correction of older cosmetic lip procedures that used permanent fillers such as liquid silicone, paraffin or other materials. Although initially these materials may have provided the desired volume, in the long term they can cause deformities, asymmetries, inflammation or even permanent tissue damage.
The surgical removal of permanent material from the lips is a specialized and targeted procedure, aimed at restoring the natural structure and texture of the lips, as well as improving their aesthetics and functionality.
When is removal indicated?
The procedure is recommended in cases such as:
- Deformation of the shape of the lips
- Asymmetries or hard areas due to material movement
- Chronic inflammation, redness or tenderness
- Psychological discomfort with the appearance
- Desire to return to a more natural result or preparation for a new aesthetic restoration
How is the removal procedure performed?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and includes:
- Μικρές τομές στο εσωτερικό του στόματος (προσπέλαση μέσω βλεννογόνου)
- Identification and removal of the material, either in liquid form or as granules
- Careful preservation of healthy tissue for better aesthetic and functional results
- Suture with absorbable sutures without external marks
The duration depends on the extent and nature of the material, usually 1-1.5 hours.
Recovery
✔ Return home the same day
✔ Mild swelling/sensitivity for 5-10 days
✔ Avoid hot foods & heavy talking for the first few days
✔ Stitches absorb on their own
✔ Gradual revelation of the final result within 4-6 weeks
Can aesthetic restoration be done afterwards?
Yes, once the area is fully restored and the tissues return to their normal form (usually after 2-3 months), it can be done:
- Mild enhancement with hyaluronic acid
- Correction of the shape by surgical technique
