Wait 3-4 months after temporary fillers before putting in permanent implants into the lips.

Permanent implants for $1500-2000 per lip can be put in the lips as soon as 2 months after temp. fillers but I would prefer 3-4 months. I do not recommend silicon injections into the lips because of the distortions and granulomas.

Permanent filler use in Lip Augmentation

IMHO, Silikon and whatever they are calling liquid silicone these days, should never be injected into the lips. Silicone injection can cause the lips to baloon up for many years after being placed and are unpredictable. Don't do it.

Permanent lip fillers can follow temporary fillers immediately

Permanent lip fillers can follow temporary fillers immediately. Permanent fillers must be built up over time so they do not interfere with temporary fillers. Gortex implants can be placed at any time.

Temporary Vs. Permanent Fillers for Lips

1. I would wait for most of the filler to be gone but you do not have to wait for all of it to dissipate. 2. I believe silicone micro droplets are safe in the right hands. Please see the reference section attached on my web site (look toward the bottom of the web page referenced and go the link on silicone safety) regarding my opinions on this matter. Also see the attached video. 3. I do not believe fat grafting works well here because it tends to be... more

Permanent lip augmentation

Wait until the temporary filler has completely resorbed for the most accurate assessment of how large the permanent implant should be. If you do it sooner, then the temporary product further resorbs shrinking your lips, and you may regret not having chosen a larger permanent implant (unless you choose the largest to begin with, understanding there will be continued resorption of the temporary product).

Fillers and lips

Temporary fillers in the lips usually last anywhere between 2 to 6 months. Silicone implants are permanent. You may want to consider if a permanent implant is what you want, as your face will not look the same today as it will in 10, 20 and 30 years. Dr Siegel

Permanent filler

Medical Grade Silicone is approved ONLY for detached retina. It should Not be used as a filler. Non Medical Grade Silicone (bought from the hardware store) can cause MAJOR problems Fat Transfer is the best alternative

Why not ask the injector of the temporary filler??? Was the injector even a doctor? I think NOT! Because I know of no doctor using silicone injections here in Miami....If you went to a licensed doctor for a temporary filler I would wait until it is reabsorbed - 3 to 8 months, than try Artefil, Radeisse, or Stem Cell Fat grafts. Oh, I know these cost much more than illegal silicone injections but at least they are approved. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski

Permanent Lip Enhancement

I would strongly advise to stay away from silicon injections into the lips. If you really desire a permanent enhancement, there is a newer solid silicone implant that can be placed as a clinic procedure under local anesthesia. The implant name is SurgiSil. Results are quite good and there is the advantage that if you are not happy, it can easily be removed. I recently had a patient in my office that had silicone injections into the lips. The silicone... more
