Permanent Lip Enhancement

Typically lips can lack volume because of:

     Ageing - with time our lips and the are around our mouth looses volume
     Genetics - some people are born with thinner lips than they would like

What are the options ?

• The lips can be made fuller by the addition of a number of materials such as dermal fillers and fat taken from another area of your body.
• Whilst these treatments are effective they are both temporary and are uncomfortable for the patient.
• Permanent solutions have previously relied on implants that have not mimicked the natural contours of the lip and may, due to their surface characteristics, promote tissue ingrowth resulting in a restriction of lip movement and an unnatural smile.

Our permanent lip enhancement solution

• Permalip offers a more definitive solution for permanent lip enhancement.
• Permalip is made of a soft, solid silicone implant using an injection moulding process to produce a naturally contoured implant with a smooth, non-porous surface.
• This surface minimises the chance of tissue adherence or in growth from the surrounding lip tissue.
• Permalip implants come in a variety of widths and lengths so you can select the one which will give you the appearance you would like
• Permalip cannot deflate or rupture, and although permanent, can be easily removed should you wish.
• Likewise it is simple to change the width and length of the implant if you decide you would like to change the appearance of you lips.

What Is Involved ?

• The procedure is performed under Local Anaesthetic with you awake
• The operation takes approximately 30 minutes
• The incisions used to insert the Permalip implant are very small and concealed within the corner of your mouth
• Your lips will be swollen for 1-2 weeks following insertion of the Permalip implant.
• When the swelling has settled your lips will be fuller but feel and move normally

Results

• They do not need to be removed unless you decide you would like them to be
• Permalip implants can be considered permanent
• In this case you can select another size or shape of implant.
• Unlike dermal fillers the result does not reduce with time.
