I'm wondering which lip implant is better, Verafil or Permalip? Does one look and feel more natural? I'm looking for a permanent solution for lip enhancement and these two options appealed to me the most. I'm also trying to find a Verafil plastic surgeon in New Jersey or nearby.

Answer: Silikon-1000 may be used by experienced physicians for permanent lip augmentation. Silikon-1000 is a permanent filler, so your results, good or bad, are permanent. You must find a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced with the serial puncture, micro-droplet technique. You should also have a discussion with your doctor about the FDA's position with respect to using Silikon-1000 in an off-label fashion to enhance your lips. Lastly, you should see many before and after photos demonstrating beautiful, natural results before you pick your doctor and proceed. Several treatments, spaced at monthly intervals, are typically necessary to obtain a desired result. Procedures are performed with topical anesthetic, and there is no downtime. Complications are infrequent, and include nodule formation at the site of injection. Nodules or "bumps" occur in less than than 2% of my patients, and are easily managed, typically with only minor inconvenience. The vast majority of my patients are thrilled by their results. This is my filler of choice for permanent Lip Augmentation. I've attached a link to my Lip Augmentation photos for your perusal. I hope this is helpful for you.

Answer: About the same The reason fillers are more popular than implants is because fillers (when done beautifully) are more natural appearing and natural feeling. The implants are favored due to the longevity and cost savings/convenience but they are slightly less 'natural feeling' than fillers.
