To be complete, Verafil is a lip augmentation option

Steven Weiner, M.D. answers: What are my options for permanent lip augmentation?

I had collagen in my lips and I loved it, but I cannot afford to keep  having injections.  I saw a web site that suggest Artecol or  silicone.  Do they do the same thing?

Just to make this discussion more complete, Verafil is an option.

Verafil is a small saline-filled implant that is placed in the lips with a minor surgical procedure done in the office in about 15 minutes. Supposedly, the body does not produce scar tissue around it, so it stays soft. I don't have any experience with this procedure. My gut feeling is that it has potential for creating scar tissue and might become very difficult to remove down the road, which ultimately might be a major problem.

If you can wait a while, Evolence Breeze will be FDA approved in 6-12 months, and should give you about 12 months of correction. I'd say that's pretty good.
