Revision after permanent lip material is different from routine lip augmentation or reduction.
The tissue response may include firmness, nodularity, distortion, migration, asymmetry or scarring. Management depends on the material, its location, the patient’s symptoms and the amount of normal tissue that can be preserved.
Revision questions
- What material was placed, when and where?
- Is the problem volume, contour, inflammation, scar or functional change?
- Can the material be reduced without creating a larger deformity?
- Would a staged approach be safer or more predictable?
