Hi..we had alot of conversations about the implants...I always overdo everything...so my concern was going bigger. The skin will accomadate this. The rep at Surgicil (that makes the implants) is a friend of mine. She went from the large to the med and there was no problem. The scar tissue will adjust over time.The implants come in different lengths as well. Hope this helps.

Good info for sure! Do you happen to know how long it took your friends lips to adjust after the reduction? If not no big deal, I just think it could be good information for someone reading this & considering it. :)

I had lip implants and I like the way they look but my smile is restricted. I am wondering if the Doctor put in implants that were too short. Instead of having a full smile, it is more squared and I had to learn to smile differently. Could you ask your friend, who is the Surgicil rep about this. My niece had them as well and feels the same way.

The swelling lasts 4 days to 10 according on nthe client. The tunnel will develope scar tissue( to keep the opening free)in 3 months or 4 months. If someone decides to go up or down in size you must wait the 3-4 months for the tunnel to stabilize...once it is in place you can numb the lips..make small incisions and pull the old size out and slide the new ones into place. There is a video on YOUTUBE that shows the entire procedure. I am an RN and I worked with my plastic surgeron for 12 yrs...so I saw his work daily. When I decided to do breat aug. he was the only one in my area doing axillary inserts. Mine came out beautiful. He has done 7 procedures on me and 4 on my daughter. We have had great results with no complications.So..in short the implant is only half of the puzzel...you must choose a skilled Dr. as well.

So glad to hear things went well for you! Do your lips feel any pressure from being stretched to the new size?
February 1, 2012
Hey megan..they were really swollen yesterday...have went down alot. The new implant actuaaly fit fine in the tunnel....he did not have to strech it more. He said your skin accomodates a little more than one thinks.The large is only 1mm bigger in width...not a hudge differnce ...but it is fatter in dimention. I had no pressure. Just swelling and tenderness. I feel good today and they look good. This was the size I should have done to start with. I just wanted more of a poof look...fullness.
Take care, Amanda

Hi,
I'm interested in how everything went going to
Larger size? I currently have the size med. but I'm having sliding issues. Permalip keeps sliding to one side. I went back to drs office 2x. Now dr states she can close the one side tighter. But now I'm thinking I want the larger size. Please help (:

I had my permalip done a month ago and im really upset with the result. My bottom implant is sticking out pass my natural lip line making it look like i have 2 lip lines its terrible. Corners of my lips are huge and not natural looking. I asked for implant to be placed in pink area of my lip Only but it wasnt. I now see that choosing the right dr is most important. My dr has a good reputation yet he really didnt have a good vision for what lip should look like! Im set to go back and fix it in about a month or replace w smaller implant. I def wouldnt do this if i knew that result can leave you looking worst not better. On top of it all i have to pay again to fix something Dr clearly did wrong. Instead of saying he feels bad , his admin called to make sure i understand i have to pay again!! unreal. I cry every time i look at myself. This was the worst experiance i ever had and im told "maybe its still swollen"..
November 26, 2012
I am so sorry u had this happen..mine did stay swollen for awhile....where do you live? My Dr is excellent...so dont repay him if you dont trust his work.
If you want to talk I can give you my #.
Again it can be fixed... I am also a nurse so I get your pain..I know how bad it is to pay for shitty work. You can report him to the medical board...just a thought..or at least threaten him with taht and the BBB....works alot of the time.

Hi Amanda..have you had any complications w your lip implants since having your surgery...do they feel normal...I have a consult feb 21 for permalip ... Already had surgery on them before using my own fascia..not full enough :(
February 13, 2013
No no problems at all...I love them...if you see the pic above...that is me and my daughter and we both have them.....so young or older...they plump your ilps...but do not look ducky...you need to do the large size unless you already have big lips!! The small ones will not show up at all/
Thanks Amanda
February 24, 2013
Thank you for responding... you pics look awesome...had my consult nervous, but hopeful my surgery will come out successful..decided medium on top and large on bottom; i will post some pics after surgery....calling me on Monday feb 25 to schedule surgery :))
February 24, 2013
Good luck...you will do fine..and love them! My daughter did the size you are doing med on top...large on bottom...her top lip was already full so she used med..and she wanted a bigger bottom ..so she went to large there ...Her pics are up with mine. I love lipstick more than ever!!!!!Try MAC please me..its a matte finish and makes my lips look hudge and full!!!
let me know how you do....and do not get scared at the swelling...you will be swollen and it will go down!!!
February 24, 2013
You both look beautiful...love the lips; try not to get anxious ... I understand the swelling since this will be my second surgery on them on top of the numerous injections which was a huge money pit...but my first surgery still give me results ;( bigger than my natural but reabsorbed...so now I'm hoping I will finally get the end results I've been wanting ;) now just nervous about the scar tissue from previous surgery my ps is concerned too as a result going under twilight vs doing in office .... He did say it could work w us vs against us and be able to follow the last tunneling from my other ps..... Thks for your support... Hope my lips look like your daughters and I have a good outcome...hopeful and praying every night :)

Btw I wear Mac their makeup rocks...love the glass lipgloss on top of fabby lipstick (favorite lipstick color)... Can't wait to try on different colors and see them on my lips after I'm healed up ;)
March 1, 2013
Hi Amanda! I'm getting mine done Thursday. 5 on the top and 4 on the bottom. Do you think that will be good?? I want big but natural, kind of. Or should I get 5 for both? I don't want to regret getting the 4 on bottom. I still want the bottom to be bigger. What do ya think? Thanks!!
March 12, 2013
Morgan..we may have spoken...not sure..I think your right..the large on top and med on bottom. Your bottom is already a good size..so you dont want to go to big there..however your top lip needs the 5mm or large size to give you the volume you want. If I can help or tell you anything...let me know. Amanda
March 12, 2013
Hi Amanda, my surgery went well last week. just healing now. I'm glad I went with the large 5 on top and 4 on bottom. Still waiting for the top swelling to go down . Thanks for getting back to me

Hello
I am not sure how to private message u on here. I'm getting the 5m in my top lip to balance a slight underbite I have. Would love to talk to u for 5 minutes if possible and get some advice. I barely met w the dr and it is an add on to another surgery so he hasn't given me much info on what to expect like if I'll b able to eat after for example. I've read some Dr's give a prescription medrol steroid similar to prednisone to help w swelling. Were you given anything to help w the swelling? Any advice what I could use it do to lessen the swelling other than ice and the arnica/bromelain? Would love your advice, I tend to swell so could use your advice. Also did u have any permanent filler like PMMA before the Permalip? THANK YOU!!!

who is your surgeon? In the past 7 years I have spent thousands on fillers. You look amazing!!!
Glad you are getting the correction you want!
I can't help but to be very curious about your comment, "it is a easy procedure and you can go up or down in size..once the tunnel is there in the lips." On the off chance someone went too big, and decided they wanted to go down a size it seems like it could be difficult if the skin had stretched out to accommodate the larger implants. Did the surgeon happen to mention anything along these lines to you?
