Would I be a good candidate for permanent lip implants, and what is the cost for both the upper and lower lip? (Photo)

Asked By:Calm405553 in Montpelier, Ohio

I have had filler, and LOVE the results, but they never last very long (Botox in other areas of my face never lasts more than 6 weeks either). I’m convinced this is due to Vyvanse metabolizing the filler at a rapid rate. Am I a good candidate for permanent lip implants? Wht is the cost for both the upper and lower lip? Is there large concern for migration? I’ve included a picture with no filler, at my natural state, and a picture with filler 2-weeks post- injection (which I love!).

Permalip removal then what? (Photo)
Michael P. Morrissette, DDS, FACS says:

You may benefit from having a lip lift following the removal of the permalip. The distance from the base of the nose to the lip vermilion is important and usually determines who is a candidate for the procedure. Fat grafting may be another option.

Any experience trying to take out an old lip implant (20~ years post-op)?
Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD says:

I know what you've had and remove these regularly. It may be a goretex tube (softform) or advant, or goretex strips. In any case, I've successfully taken them out many times, right in the office.

Why lip implant is not a good option? 2 doctors suggested them but don't recommend them
David Hansen, MD says:

Lip implants do very well for most patients and are a permanent way to fix thin lips. They are easy to put in and easy to remove but very few docs know about them or even have them. Of the 3 major types, really only 1 type is readily available now. They run about $3500 per implant.
