Fat Grafting Provides Safe, Permanent Natural Looking Fullness to the Lips
A number of 'soft tissue fillers' are available for temporarily improving facial areas that have lostvolume or have developed deep lines and creases. Probably the most popular fillers currently are hyaluronic acid products like Restylane or Juvederm , which can be used to plump up thin lips and to fill out nasolabial folds (lines that run from beside the nostrils to the area beside the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth towards the...

Permanent Lip Filler
Anytime you're looking at a permanent filler you should consider using your own tissue. It tends to be more lasting with fewer complications as time goes on.
In my practice, we use autologous fat transfer as described by Dr. Law. For a more subtle or less dramatic lip augmentation de-epithelialized dermis depending on the desired extent of correction can be an extremely effective, permanent and safe technique as well. The incisions are hidden inside the lip at the corners and the...

Safe, Permanent Lip Filler - Maybe ? But Not FDA Approved
This is a terrific question. First off it is my preference to start with a lip filler that is not permanent. Why? This gives you the ability to "try out" the new lips and make sure that you are happy with them. It helps to gauge the amount of fill that you would best enjoy. On the slight chance you may not be happy, the filler will absorb within a few months. Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, all HAs have the added benefit that they can be neutralized with Wydase should you desire...

Permanent Lip Enhancement
Currently, the available lip fillers create short term enhancement. For longer lasting enhancement, there are two options: fat transfer or an AlloDerm graft. The fat transfer process uses fat taken from another region of the patient's bodyuses the patient's own fat from another area of the body and it is re-injected evenly into the lips for a natural, complication free enhancement. There are no allergic reactions involved. An AlloDerm graft is like a lattice structure that lets vines grow in...

Permanent lip fillers have not had good success but there are options for you
Fillers that are permanent in the lips have had issues. Temporary fillers are the most common and popular and have a great history of success. For more permanent options you might want to consider goretex implants, silicone implants, fat injections, the YoungVolumizer, Tissue implants (from your own body that are not fat), lip lifts, and other tissue rearranging procedures. We have some videos that you can watch to learn including this one on perma lip augmentation / enhancement /...

Lip implants, lip fillers, lip augmentation Beverly hills, lip enhancement Los Angeles
I have performed lip augmentation for over 20 years and I don't believe there is a permanent lip filler that wouldn't have issues.
Silicone has significant risks which you can see with a simple google search of silicone complications.
Other permanent fillers like Artecol also called Artefil can create lumps that would be as permanent as the material itself. These would pretty much impossible to remove.
I recently had a patient travel to Beverly Hills for me to remove Gortex threads...

Fat grafting from abdomen to lips is the next step for patients happy with fillers looking for permanent results.
Fat grafting uses your own fat, usually transferred from your abdomen to your lips. It is usually the next step for patients who are happy with the look of fillers and wish for permanent results.

Fat injections are the only permanent lip augmentation.
HI!
1) Off the shelf fillers like Juvederm and Restylane (which we use a lot), only last a few months in the lips, because the lips move so much.
2) If you want permanent lip augmentation, fat injections or fat transfer works best. We have gotten much better at handling the fat. With very good technique, about 80% of the injected fat survives.

Juvederm is an effective lip filler
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid facial filler that is ideal for lip augmentation. In one clinical study, approximately 75% of patients had clinical improvement with Juvederm at the nine month point. Juvederm has a high safety profile and has a low risk of developing nodularity after injection.
