What are the pros and cons of Lip Implants as opposed to injections? And average costs?

Lip implants come in 3 main varieties and cost roughly $1500-2000 each. They are permanent and easy to put in in about 20 min under local. They are also easy to remove if needed. Like any implant they can get infected so antibiotics are always prescribed for 1 week. They do look very natural when done right. They can be stacked so if you want a larger lip then just add another implant. They come in multiple sizes. Fat injections and allografts are temporary and don't look as nice. Silicone injections are usually disasterous. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

TrishPedersen, I don't perform nor do I recommend lip implants other than Alloderm. This is the only semi-long term implant that doesn't or hasn't stiffened that I've seen over the past 25 years and counting. Other than that I use injectables. Good luck!
