You have probably heard of horror stories from people who underwent lip augmentation surgery or filler injection.Achieving voluminous lips does not have to be risky and expensive. If the lip implant is too long or does not fit the curvature of lips, infection or irritation may develop. The body may also react negatively to the implant and treat it as if it is a bacterium or virus. Other complications include palpability, reduced mobility of the lips and deformity from too much scar tissues which may be caused by infection or lack of surgical precision.
In case of liquid implants, migration of the fluid is a serious risk that can lead to necrosis and granuloma formation. Some fluid implants have unpredictable inflammatory reactions. Too much scarring could make it impossible to drain the implants without causing deformity to the lips. The patient could also suffer from permanent discolorations due to bruising and hematoma as a result of corrective surgeries.
