Lip Implants: Stories

Hi there, sorry to read about your bad experience.I had permalip, implants put in 4 years ago. The injections were a wee bit painful!! But i could feel no pain at all. Just a tugging sensation.My surgeon was brilliant,it was all over in 20 mins.There was bruising around my mouth for about 9 days, my lips are soft and beautifully formed, (The lower lip is larger than the top one, because that is how i wanted it to be.They look so natural to. Permalip was certainly for me. cost £2000, 4 yrs ago worth every penny.

I can't tell from the photos you posted, but I can tell you this--lip exercises won't work. And you shouldn't be in a position where you have to do 'lip exercises' in the first place. That's not what you paid for. Your surgeon already knows this, or if she doesn't, she should.

I had lip implants, and mine came out really nicely. When I had them done, the surgeon told me that I could have them replaced if I personally felt the implants should be larger. That implies that your surgeon could and should be able to readjust the implants that you have.

Speaking just for myself--if I were you, I would seek the opinion of another plastic surgeon who is experienced with doing lip implants. If he/she feels the implants are off-center or whatever, then he can write up his opinion, which you can then take back to your surgeon and ask to have it re-adjusted. This should be done without further cost to you for surgical readjustment.

I personally think that your surgeon is taking advantage of you because she thinks you won't know how to stand up for yourself. So surprise her. Stand up for yourself. Her recommendation that you do 'lip exercises' is total bull___. The exercises don't work, and it's NOT what you paid for in the first place. She should be ashamed of herself. Tell her I said so. And if she disagrees with me, contact me through this website and I can have at least three plastic surgeons tell her how wrong she is!
