New PermaLip™ Lets You Pucker Up With Confidence

Plump, full lips are a coveted beauty feature and a symbol of youth. Lip Augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure because it is a small change that can have a dramatic effect on facial appearance.

When searching for a lip augmentation solution, take a good look at PermaLip™, the newest procedure available from cosmetic surgeons. This silicone lip implant has many benefits: it's soft, flexible, and creates the appearance of fuller, luscious lips in a quick and easy procedure.

Lip Enhancement Options

Before PermaLip, lip plumping was most often achieved through the use of temporary injectable fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, saline implants, fat transfers and augmentation with Alloderm. Previous permanent lip implants have been criticized for their inability to integrate with lips' natural contours, creating a stiff or rubbery look. Now, thanks to the FDA-approval of PermaLip, women can have long-lasting enhancement with this safe, biocompatible implant that improves facial appearance in a subtle, natural way.

The PermaLip Difference

During extensive clinical testing, PermaLip demonstrated terrific results with a level of predictability that gives physicians and patients peace of mind. The implants won't change or diminish over time like lip fillers, and there's no danger of leakage, rupture, or hardening as a result of activity or aging. PermaLip helps you achieve youthful volume and fullness without the need for repeat treatments.

The PermaLip Procedure

This new implant makes lips appear fuller while retaining the natural contours and softness of the upper and lower lips. You can choose the length and thickness based on your ideal lip shape.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes in the office. Local anesthesia is used to numb the lip area. Tiny incisions are placed in the corners of the mouth and the implants are placed into the optimal position.
