An alternative to injectable lip augmentation is the Permalip implant by SurgiSil. This is a soft, flexible, non-porous silicone implant that cannot rupture or deflate. They can permanently be left in place or easily removed at a later date if no longer wanted.
The Best Candidates for Lip Implants
Patients desiring permanently fuller, natural lips without the need for repeat injections are the best candidates for this procedure.
The Procedure
The procedure can be performed in a simple office setting under local anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the corners of your mouth and the sized implant is drawn inside and centered. A single dissolvable stitch is used to close each incision. The entire process can take less than thirty minutes.
After the Procedure
Normal activity can be resumed the following day. The lips will become noticeably swollen for several days. This usually takes 2-3 weeks to fully resolve. Bruising is usually minimal. Special massage and stretching exercises will be started to help the implants soften. Lipstick can usually be worn after 3-4 days.
