Would Permalip implants improve the lines around my top lip "smokers lines"?

Question

Would Permalip implants improve the lines around my top lip "smokers lines". Id like to have fuller lips too, I've had fat transfer but although the bottom lip is nice and full, the top one is hardly any different? Thanks

​Fillers such as Restylane Silk, Belotero, or Juvederm can work well to treat lines around the mouth, but the best first option is laser resurfacing or deep peels to induce collagen production. Superficial radiofrequency devices and microneedling can help as well and are less invasive. I suggest going to an experienced cosmetic dermatologist with expertise in lasers and fillers.

Thank you for your question.  The PermaLip can soften smoker lines as it creates volume to the top lip.  Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve.  All The Best

Lip enhancement usually helps to soft the "smokers lines" around the mouth.  That said, I typically supplement lip enhancement via filler or Permalip with a fine filler such as Volbella or Belotero.  Permalip has become a commonly performed procedure in my office.  After several years of experience and countless numbers of satisfied patients, I strongly recommend it!Best of luck!

Hi, I have performed many lip augmentation procedures using dermal fillers or lip implants for over 30 years. Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, the upper lip should be approximately 75 % the size of the lower lip for the lips to appear balanced. The lips can be augmented using a dermal filler or a Permalip implant.

Dermal filers and lip implants offer far more reliable volume to augment the lips than permanent fillers or fat injections that are also associated with increased, unwanted, side effects.

A dilute solution of Botox or Xeomin would be best to soften the lines around the mouth.  Hope this helps.
