What is the migration rate for Permalip and which technique is best to avoid migration?

Question

Hello. I am 38 years old and am ready to take the leap for augmenting my lips. I want a permanent solution and believe Permalip 5mm is a good option for me (my lips aren’t thin and they are symmetrical). What is the migration rate and also what technique is the best to prevent this complication? Thank you so much for your help.

Permalip is a type of lip implant made of soft silicone that offers a permanent solution for lip augmentation. It provides a natural-looking enhancement to the lips and is available in various sizes, including the 5mm option you mentioned.

When it comes to migration rates, Permalip implants are designed to minimize the risk of displacement or movement. The implant has a tapered design and is shaped to conform to the natural contours of the lips. However, like any surgical procedure, there is a potential for complications, including migration or implant shifting.

To minimize the risk of complications, including migration, it's important to choose an experienced and skilled surgeon who is well-versed in lip augmentation procedures. They will have a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the lips and use proper surgical techniques to ensure the implant is placed correctly and securely.

During your consultation, discuss your concerns about migration with your surgeon. They will explain the techniques they use to minimize the risk, such as creating an appropriate pocket for the implant and ensuring proper fixation to prevent movement.
