In recent times, the number of patients who come to aesthetic medicine centers to have a lip reduction has grown, either because a previous intervention has artificially changed their original linearity or to update their profile.

The effect of a bad implant can produce lip deformation, granulomas, migration of the product to other areas, etc., since the tissues of the lips must be treated with great care, with products that are compatible with the site in question.

However, the problems belong to another era, since the products that are infiltrated now no longer have these consequences, in addition to the fact that the use of permanent products on the lips is discouraged. Aesthetic doctors never recommend a permanent lip implant, especially considering that the products that are infiltrated now are increasingly lasting longer and give a greater sensation of naturalness.

Currently, a large part of potential patients “allow themselves to be advised by doctors and ask for real things”, while many others come asking for a lip rectification that they had done and now they don’t like.

With the passage of time, reactions and effects of some products that are difficult to eliminate have appeared, in many cases impossible without surgery.

It is a surgical intervention, therefore it is performed in the operating room, with local anesthesia. The objective is to remove the silicone through an incision in the line between the skin and the mucosa.
