Why can’t I find many people who’ve made videos with information about their experience with permalip lip implants?

Question

why does it seem like you can find people with stories and video experience getting lip fillers anywhere but it’s hard to find to many people with videos or info explaining their experience getting a permalip implant? Why does it seem like permalip is less popular even though it’s basically a permanent alternative to filler? This concerns me because I’d like the lip implant simply because it’s like permanent filler but I don’t see all that much information on it which is a bit concerning.

Permalip is a rubberized silicone implant that can be used for upper and lower lip augmentation. Personally, when I examine patients who have had this done, I feel that it leads to a firm and unnatural lip texture. Additionally, if they are not placed perfectly symmetrically, they can be obvious. In our practice, we advocate microdroplet Silikon-1000 permanent lip augmentation for soft, natural looking, and permanently larger lip appearances. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

I liked the permalip implant and used to place them. However, the company went out of business so there is no way to get the implants any longer. In order to provide different permanent options we do lip augmentation with fascia or tissue from elsewhere in the body. This can be done right in the office and is soft and natural.
