“Lip implants for permanent fuller lips”
Lip augmentation: Undecided
Cost: $2,000
Pain: Mild
Review of Lip augmentation:Pain: Mild
Lip augmentation satisfaction: Fair
I recommend my Lip augmentation provider: Name not provided
Why: Very knowledgable and has the implants herself
For permanant fuller lips, not painful and very quick, about an hour start to finish. They were great until about a month ago and my smile began being restricted and unnatural looking. Considering removal but not sure what results will be.

I had permafacial lip aug. in early July 2009, on the top and bottom lip. I had somewhat thin lips (not super thin but I always felt like I need lipstick,liner,gloss at all times to look "normal")I really like the results. I feel like I can go without anything or just gloss and feel confident. My bottom lip is perfect but on my top lip the scar tissue developed thickly on one side forcing the implant to be pushed to one side and looks off center when I smile widely. You can't really tell when I'm not smiling really big. I have an appointment in a week to have it "repositioned". My smile width has also been shorted dramaticly. It looks weird. I asked my Doc about it and she told me to do my stretching exercisies and it will eventually loosen up. It's only been 3 1/2 months I guess, just wondering if anyone else has had this happen? I'm getting a little freaked out.

Permanent lip implants usually take 2 months to fully settle down and should be massaged after about 1 month to help soften any fibrous tissue developing. If there is any restriction in your movements then you need extra massaging. Ask you doc. They rarely ever need removing. sincerely, David Hansen,MD
