Thanks, I love them and am glad to hear that they worked out for you as well. I think a lot of people who are unhappy with the results of an aesthetic service, for whatever reason, tend to blog about their experience. I think those of us with great experiences should too! I had asked my surgeon about using the smallest diameter of implant but he said that given the amount of lip tissue I have, it wouldn't be very noticeable ,so I went with the medium diameter. Worked for me. My lips look like they did when I was in my 30s...fuller, more defined.

The name of the dentist that did my veneers is Jana Mills.

Yes, there was a little (but not much) residual swelling in the close-up "after" pic taken a couple of weeks after the implants were placed. My profile pic was taken about 6 weeks after surgery....no swelling. On the size - the length was the longest they make 65mm, but the diameter was the middle-of-the-road 4mm. I wanted the results to look natural.

danni2010 - Thanks. The implant length is determined by the length of your lips and the diameter is based on a couple of things - how much lip tissue exists and how much augmentation you desire. My surgeon carefully measured my lips and determined that I required the longest length made by Surgisil. I don't recall the exact number, but am certain it's the longest length. On the diameter, he suggested the medium one, which I believe is 4 mm. I didn't want overly augmented lips so I determined that the largest diameter was not what I wanted. On the smallest diameter, to be honest, that's what I initially thought that I wanted because I was insistent on a conservative, natural look. They told me that with the amount of tissue in my lips the smallest diameter wouldn't make much of a difference at all and I would probably be disappointed. They recommended the medium diameter. I was concerned, but they reassured me so I just put my trust in them. I am glad I did. The medium diameter did, in fact, turn out to be perfect for me.

I forgot to ask - with the concerns you have, what does your surgeon say?
