Can Vermilion Advancement Be Done If One Has A Lip Implant?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Is it possible to do vermilion advancement procedure on a lip that has a lip implant in it? Is it still possible to get lip implants or are lip implants no longer available?
A:It is possible to do a Vermilion advancement with an indwelling lip implant. The lip implant is deeper while the vermilion advancement is more superficial and thus they are in two different tissue planes.
Currently silicone lip implants, the only commercially available lip implant for the past 15 years, is no longer available.
