Lip Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhat Are my Options for Permanent Lip Augmentation? (photo)
I would like a onetime only procedure that will fix my problem permanently. Is this possible? Also, more or less, what would be the cost. The first two pics are of my lips as they are. The 3rd is a photoshopped version of the 2nd picture showing my upper lip as I would like it to be. I don’t want any drastic changes. Judging from my desired results what is my best option, what would the price more or less be, and what would be the recovery time for this procedure?

Permanent Lip Augmentation
For permanent lip augmentation there are many products on the market, and your plastic surgeon can give you more information on these implants and also tell if you are a good candidate. With all of the fillers on the market, if my patients want more of a long term result, I talk to them about autologous fat grafting, which generally has many years of a sustained result.

Permanent lip augmentation
Your option for permanent lip augmentation includes placement of silicone oil and a silicone implant. The silicone oil injection approach is not FDA approved, but works well if used properly by an experienced plastic surgeon. I have seen very good natural looking results with it.
The second, silicone implant is an office procedure that takes about 30 minutes and works extremely well. It is placed through small incisions at the corner of the mouth. It is also soft and natural...

Permanent Lip Augmentation
I would recommend that you consider Permalip, which is a silicone implant. This is usually placed under local anesthesia in an office setting. The typical cost is about $2000 to $3000. You can select the implant width and length based on your lip anatomy and desired improvement. The typical recovery time is about 10 to 14 days.

Lip augmentation
Lip augmentation is popular in my office.
It is sometimes very difficult to get you the result you look for in a "photo shopped" picture. My observation is that most patients want bigger lips than on their photoshopped picture once the procedure swelling has gone. They very often like the looks and size of their swollen lips .
I therefore often recommend just for one time filler for the patient to just see what they really want. The good and the bad news are...

Permanent lip fillers
There are many lip fillers out there. I would avoid the silicone injections because I have seen numerous problems over the years with it. Fat injections can be done but they often need to be repeated because it is hard to get it to stay. I have used facial tissues normally discarded during facelift. Permanent implants in my opinion are not great.

Silikon-1000 may be used by experienced physicians for natural-looking, permanent Lip Augmentation.
Silikon-1000 is a permanent, off-label filler that may work particularly well for smooth, natural, permanent lip augmentation. Several treatments are typically necessary for complete correction, and treatment intervals are monthly or longer.
I've attached a link to an interview I did for RealSelf regarding silicone lip injections.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Lip implants do great for the upper lip.
There are several options for permanent lip augmentation. There are mainly 3 types of synthetic lip implants which all do good and take about 20 min under local to do easily for roughly $1500-2000/implant. They are easy to put in and easy to remove if later you ever wish it. Other options are Alloderm(human tissue) as well as fat injections can last 6 months to 3 yrs. which i am not a fan of these. Silicone injections are permanent but get lumpy after 3-4 yrs.and again i don't care for....

What Are my Options for Permanent Lip Augmentation?
I have performed many Lip Augmentations over the past 25 years. The upper lip aesthetically should be approximately 75% the size of the lower lip which is significantly larger than what you have photoshoped. For the 10-15% increase in upper lip size, that you are seeking, IMVHO Lip Implants using Alloderm (I prefer these) or silastic would give more augmentation than you are seeking. For your particular case, IMO a with temporary filler like Juvederm or Restylane...

Permalip Implants for Permanent Lip Augmentation
Based on your current lip shape and the desired amount of change that you want, a Permalip implant would be a good choice. Done under local anesthesia, a 3 or 4mm diameter tapered silicone implant can be inserted from small incisions on the inside of the corners of your mouth.
