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.
Anyone had lip implants that restricted their smile or made it odd looking?

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,

I had lip implants put in in April 2009, about 6 weeks before my son's wedding. It's true that they changed how I smile--I couldn't smile as broadly as I could before--but the net result was definitely positive. My smile is more attractive now than it used to be. It's also more expressive. And it's so nice to know it's permanent.
It's just a possible way for you to go in the future. Good luck and LOL.

I'm thinking of getting Permalip done, as I've been having Juvederm injections for the past year, and just can't afford to keep them up! Do your lips look/feel natural with Permalip - and how long did the swelling last?

Hi Jane M.,
I'm truecolors. You can see posted photos of my lips before and after my permanent lip implants here on realself.com if you can just figure out how to find them. I'm not very computer-savvy myself.
But I feel the same way you do, that lip injections are just too expensive to get on an ongoing basis. I'm very happy with my permanent lip implants, which I've had for 1 1/2 years now.
The post-op swelling for the lip implants? Well, I had my lip implants done at the same time I had a facelift done, so I couldn't separate 'lip swelling' from the rest of my face. But it was definitely worth doing, in my opinion. The lip implants make me look younger and sexier in my opinion.

Jane M., Regarding your question 'Do they look and feel natural?' Well, I can definitely feel the implants in my lips if I stop to think about it, and I have to be a little more careful when I drink water because sometimes the lip implants result in me dripping a little water on my blouse--but I definitely think the lip implants were worth doing. My lip implants are thinner and more natural-looking than Octamom's. Octamom went a little overboard with hers.
I just joined this site or I would have replied to your post sooner. After my lip augmentation procedure, I was told to start the mouth exercises once my incision sites had fully healed (it was about 3 weeks after the procedure was done). The small amount of lip restriction that I had when smiling, completely went away once I started the exercises. I hope that your smile has gone back to normal! Bryana
