Nothing wrong with the implant but prefer upturned mouth corners and plumpness of Injections... 5mm Permalip Top Lip Only

Unfortunately I am just not happy with how small my upper lip still is with the implant comparison to how it was with multiple syringes of filler. I am going to get my implant removed, heal, and get more filler.

So were you able to get the filler added while you had the implant??? I regret I got mine done. No difference!!!

The difference isn't huge. I'm surprised. Filler looked really good.

Agreed! :)))) Filler is best. Idk why the difference isn't huge with the implant. It surprised me.

Hi hun, Can you please tell me do you only have you upper lip filled? And do you use Restylane? I have a hard time finding anyone here who will put it in the lip. They use Juvederm. Also, how many pokes are you getting in the lip? Are they just hitting two places and filling it up or are they making multiple pokes along the whole upper lip? Thank you,M

I had the lip implant and I am happy with the size. It also helped remove wrinkles on my upper lip. However, the implant restricted my smile. Did anyone else have this issue? My PS said I could have the implant removed and my lip would go back to normal. I am interested to,see if anyone else felt their smile was restricted?

Please disregard the photos where my upper lip looked small after the implant!!

I just needed to update this review...

A few months ago I had separate facial procedure done which unintentionally changed the shape of my lip and made it under rotate. I have learned that the separate procedure (not performed by Dr. Kulak-she probably would have advised against it) caused the tissues in my face to sag downward, which created a significant change in the shape of my lip.

The pictures where I am dissatisfied with how small my upper lip is are the result of a different procedure!

So please do not use those photos to make a determination about how big Permalip will actually look.

There were other factors contributing to its appearance when the photos were taken. Thank you :)

Wow, the photo on the far right from June 19, 2014 makes you look like a movie star! How much did Dr. Kulak charge for the two syringes of Restalyne?

Hello Miss M just want to give you another compliment - your lips look very juicy. I would like to ask a question - so I put my permalip implants 7 years ago 5mm in both lips but now I want my lips to look fuller by injecting filler you know what I mean :) could you tell me please did you take any antibiotics after you injected the filler? I spoke with my doctor who did permalip for me and he said yes it's fine to inject fillers on top of permalip. But I'm still concerned. Please advice me. Thank you

Your lips look great! I have also had the perma lip implant and like you, I wish they were fuller. I Am considering getting some injections to complete that fuller look, but I am not sure what to go with, as far as I was concerned you couldn't get injections if you have implants, so I am excited to know that someone did it and got such amazing results! Do you mind sharing what type of injections you got along with the implants?

Would you mind sharing what facial procedure you had done that changed the shape of your lip? I'm perplexed as to what would cause this? Thank you!

I found my old phone and was scrolling through photos. I cannot believe how small my upper lip used to be compared to my lower. I remember how badly I wanted this procedure. For an entire year it was on the forefront of my mind. Saving up for it was difficult because I had doubts and I would always end up spending my money on other things. I also remember people telling me that I didn't need it. But I knew what I saw in the mirror and how I felt. I realized that if my upper lip was so small at such a young age it would only get worse with time. So I finally got Permalip to my upper lip only and I am so glad I did. My lip ratio is now normal and I completely forget that I ever even did this (I forget the implant is there). It looks natural and I could not be happier. I wish this success upon all who undergo this procedure.
