Lip filler removal procedures: safe methods and recovery

Lip filler removal: safe surgical techniques

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are gradually resorbed over time. The body does not reject them. If lip and chin contouring was not performed correctly, hyaluronidase injections help with lip filler removal.

However, biopolymer or polyacrylamide fillers are different. It is difficult to predict their behavior over years. Many women consult doctors with pain, inflammation, and deformity. Surgical intervention is the only way to remove biopolymer fillers from lips.

Reasons for removing biopolymer from the lips

Biopolymer lip augmentation was once popular. The procedure is simple and quick. It provides visible and long-lasting effects. But why is biopolymer dangerous?

Unlike hyaluronic acid, biopolymer gel remains permanently under skin. It spreads through tissues but is removed in 3-12 months. Tissue conditions change over time.

Internal and external factors cause gel to shift. This leads to undesirable complications. The main factors triggering complications include:

• Constant facial muscle activity;
• Household mechanical injuries;
• Cosmetic procedures;
• Chewing muscle activity;
• Gravity.

Biopolymer can deform the injection area over time. Hardening and swelling occur in the lips. Circulation becomes disrupted, leading to tissue necrosis. Skin color changes.

Filler removal methods

Biopolymer is removed through surgical intervention. Local anesthesia is usually used. General anesthesia may be offered to anxious patients.

A neat incision is made from inside the lip. The incision uses a scalpel or laser. Gel fragments are gradually removed from tissues. Fillers cannot always be removed in one procedure.

Biopolymer penetrates tissues and migrates. This is why plastic surgeons warn patients about possible repeat procedures needed later.

Not every surgeon undertakes this work. It is delicate and sensitive work. An experienced plastic surgeon and aesthetician must perform the procedure. The goal is restoring natural lip proportions. The optimal ratio is 1:1.5 between lower and upper lips.

Surgery typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour. The surgeon places neat sutures that are not visible. The mucous membrane regenerates quickly, aiding recovery.

Rehabilitation period

Tissues need about a week for initial recovery. During this time, rinse your mouth with prescribed antiseptic solution. Eat only soft and gentle foods. Avoid spicy, salty, and hard foods.

• Avoid baths and saunas for the first month;
• Do not visit solarium or sunbathe.

The final result is visible 2 months after the procedure. After that, repeat surgical correction can be performed.
