Am I a good candidate for lip implants? Permalip (Photo)

Question

I feel that my top lip throws off the balance of my face. I'll be able to schedule an in person consultation with a surgeon pretty soon, but I'd like other opinions. First pic is actual lips, second is a facetuned pic that I'd hope implants could mimic, or produce a similar result. I was thinking bigger implant on top, smaller implant on bottom. I can imagine the implants make the lips protrude more than the facetuned pic, but that's beyond my photoshop capabilities lol.

Yes  you are a great candidate for lip implants. I prefer the softer eptfe implants over the silicone ones though. They are easy to put in and easy to remove but most never want them removed.

Based on your photos, you appear to have relatively full lips. And based on your computer Imaging, you are looking to gain a bit of volume in your upper lip. Did you not advocate the use of permanent silicone lip implants since they tend to feel like a gummy worm as long as they are in place. In our practice, we utilize microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent lip augmentation. This may be something worth considering. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
