I strongly disapprove of silicone injections.
Many received silicone injections to their lips.
At first, silicone injections look great. For years, in fact. Then, a blunting of the normally distinct and beautiful vermillion roll and white roll occurs. The lips appear "sanded down". Next, silicone starts to move to the bottom of the lip. A trout-lip deformity results. Inside the mouth, the lips thicken. People start chewing inadvertently on their very thick lips.
This deformity is untreatable except by cutting out tissue, which of course leaves scars.
There are ways of managing the silicone injections, but they are only temporizing.
Long term, patients with silicone begin to look freakish. They develop chronic edema which is also untreatable and deforming.
I am very disturbed about the resurgence of silicone injections. It should not, in my opinion, be used in patients
