In 2013 I had Silikon 1000 injected into my lips. Shortly after receiving the injections, I developed three bumps in my upper lip and one in my lower lip. These were treated with Kenalog which resulted in indentations at the injection site. Furthermore, I developed two indentations in the area above my upper lip adjacent to the injection site which I later had filled with Silikon 1000.

Fast forward seven years and my lips are far from soft and natural-looking. They have changed over the years and I currently have the following problems:

- Two semi-visible dents/uneven textured skin in the area above upper lip
- Two dents in upper lip
- One bump in upper lip
- One dent in lower lip (which makes my lip look split)
- One bump in lower lip
- One nodule in the corner of lower lip
- Hardness in half of lower lip
- Frequent inflammation in both upper and lower lip

Surgical excision and/or steroid injections are not an option as I don’t want to risk further disfigurement. I would like to have the indentations filled with a hyaluronic acid filler but it’s a costly procedure that I unfortunately can’t afford to get done every few months.

To say that these complications have had a negative impact on my life would be an understatement. Besides the physical aspect which in itself is terribly upsetting, there’s also a constant worry that my lips may further worsen - I especially worry about the risk of migration and plan to have an MRI scan done to see if the silicone has migrated to other areas.

Silikon 1000 and Kenalog have caused me nothing but problems; if I could go back in time I would tell my younger self to stay away from permanent fillers.

so, it is my 5 yr Dr Joseph anniversary! First visit turning 50' now tomorrow turning 55 and occasionally get proofed at the liquor store! i have had filler in my cheeks and undereye hollows which has maintained beautifully' so my botox maintenance is all i have treated to date. i enjoy the singing duet we have when he arrives into the room' and the staff great!

Dr. Joseph is the friendliest and most wonderful facial plastic surgeon. He is a pro at fillers and does beautiful noses. I would highly recommend Dr. Joseph).

I came to Dr. Joseph a couple months ago to correct another Dr's work. Dr. Joseph was very informative and knowledgable about his work. I am much happier with my results. I also look forward to coming to him another procedure.

i travel 2 1/2 hours to see Dr Joseph.. i think he is wonderful The staff is amazing and friendly i would travel 5 hours to see him. I highly recommend him.

Dr Joseph is awesome i will reccommend him to all my friends and customers. His work is amazing and very natural not to mention he is a sweetheart. He is very knowledgeable in silicone injections.

Dr. Joseph is an amazing surgeon. I am his patient for the past 15 years. I did silicone 1000 also botox. The outcome of his work is amazing. My next step is nose surgery and neck liposuction.

I came for silicon injection to my nose. The doctor took his time to explain everything in detail and for my surprise instead of just injecting, he ask me to think about it because he cant achieve what I am looking for. I was amazed by his honesty. Great doctor.

My experience with doctor joseph was great, I had no pain whatsoever, he did a great job. I love my nose, he is the best doctor by far.

very pleased with the LIS non surgical nosejob i had. great work, 2 sessions

I had a wonderful visit with Dr. Eric Joseph. His staff was nice and friendly and the office was clean and wait time was about two to five min. I look forward to coming back in one month.

I am very pleased with my results, after my procedure everyone asked me what I did because I looked younger.

i had silicone microdroplets with doc to lower my nostrils and one round of injections made a very nice improvement. i went back for more but instead of selling me on his services, dr joseph told me i was already looking great and recomonded to leave things as theyt were. i really repsect that he did not just inject me to take my money and paid attention to what was truly best for me in the long run. overall a great experience and a kind and knowlegdable doctor, as far as i can tell. will be back again if anything comes up in the future.

Dr. Joseph is a great doctor. He is funny and knowlegeable and injections are nearly painless. I highly recommend him for Silikon1000 injections.
