Permalip London (Top Lip) - London, UK

4 years later I have to say that I am seriously considering having the implant removed! Once all the swelling properly settled in the lip (which I reckon you see properly after 6 months to a year.) My lips didn’t look a great deal different. This is great if you’re wanting a natural look....HOWEVER if (like me) you prefer a plumper look then you’ll have to keep getting filler. This has been an absolute NIGHTMARE for me as I end up with migration of the filler every single time (which looks like a filler ‘moustache’) I imagine this is because my lips are quite thin naturally and then adding filler on top the implant must just ‘push’ it up above the lip when I smile etc. I’ve been to different practitioners who fill in the body of the lip aswell so I know it’s not due to injecting too close to the border. The implant has also slightly shifted so one side is a little higher than the other. About a year ago I allowed my filler to break down naturally in my lips and you could actually see the tubular shape of the implant at some angles too. Didn’t really bother me to much as knew I’d be getting more filler but definitely something to think about it.

Still considering lip lift as no tooth show. However the implant has actually helped lift my lip up! I asked the surgeon to do this and he actually positioned the implant in a place where this has actually made my lip a little higher :)

No trouble with the implant. The result is so subtle so whatever you do if you are thinking of going for a permalip implant do NOT go any less than the biggest (5mm) or you will not have any difference at all. Still happy I have got this done and considering getting it done in my bottom lip too. However I love the augmented look (not bothered about subtle) so think I will keep getting filler in.
