Lip implants are usually plastic implants that help plump the lips. They won’t dissolve and are permanent. You can also get a tissue or fat implant, but these would also be permanent.
If you want something temporary, to see if you liked it, then maybe fillers would be a better option. These are where a substance is injected into the lips, to restore or add volume to the lips, they tend to last 12-18 months

Lip implants are generally safe.

Sorry I meant lip fillers not implants! I mean are lip fillers really dissolvable or without alot of pain when doing so as I've seen some reviews which said that it was incredibly painful to have them dissolved...thia is what scares me from doing them...

As in the pain aspect of dissolving
Hi, I’m sorry it’s taken so long to reply. Having fillers dissolved shouldn’t be any more painful than having them put in. There can be a sting when the needle and substance is injected. You can have a local anaesthetic (usually a numbing cream) which can help.
My best advice though, if you do want them is to insure you see a qualified and reputable doctor, and discuss what you want and they can offer. Make sure you both understand what the desired outcome is, and the chance of you needing it dissolved will be much smaller. Look at reviews, or recommendations, don’t go with the cheapest.Let me know if there’s anything else you need to ask, or anything you want me to clarify.
