Sequelae of inferior lip silicone injection: surgical correction using the modified “bikini” technique

ABSTRACT

Increasing numbers of patients have sequelae due to the injection of non-absorbable substances. Injectable silicone or polydimethylsiloxane fluid is a manufactured polymer containing elemental silicon. The complications associated with the use of this substance can present early or late. Here we present a case report in which a deformity due to a silicone injection in the lips was surgically treated using the modified “bikini” technique that produced a functionally and aesthetically favorable result.
