Love the look of lip injections, but desire a longer-lasting solution? PermaLip is a soft, yet solid silicone implant designed exclusively for lip enhancement. Unlike fillers which eventually dissolve, you can finally skip the routine injections. In fact, PermaLip is generally less expensive in the long-term when factoring the number of lip injections saved over time.

Available in a variety of sizes, the implant is customized to your desired results for subtle and natural or a more voluptuous pout. The implants are smooth, symmetrical and contoured to match the shape of your natural lips. PermaLip is a 30-minute in-office procedure under local anesthetic by Dr. Anand Patel. Small incisions are hidden in the corners of the mouth, and dissolvable stitches hold the lip implant in place.

"I have always had fairly small lips and was unhappy with them up until getting PermaLip. I had tried Juvederm and Restylane several times, but the results never lasted long enough for my liking, and the cost was adding up quickly. I decided to try Permalip so that I would never have to go back and get my lips redone again, and I can honestly say that I have never been happier with my appearance." - RealSelf user

PermaLip before and after

You should expect to be swollen and slightly tender post-operatively. Depending on the individual, there may be some bruising, as some patients are more prone to bruising than others. The majority of bruising and swelling typically subsides after the first week. Though more downtime than dermal fillers, this procedure is safe with long-lasting results. The implant itself cannot rupture or deflate and may be removed at any time if you change your mind.

Both fillers and lip implants add volume to the lips, and each offers varying benefits and differences. Deciding which option is best for your lips can be discussed during a consultation with Dr. Patel.
