Can I do boxing with Permalip?

Question

I do some friendly sparring. we use head gear and we don't use too much force but it may happen that I will be punched on my mouth. Is the implant somewhat under the bit of the mouth that sticks out more and is it fairly safe even if someone would split my lip in the fight? please do not tell me to stop using my face as pounchbag, I have a lot of fun with it and I love learning it. Please just help me realise what sort of trauma what type of damage can do to permalip. I can't do fillers

Robert S. Houser, DO · Answer

the implant would certainly be struck if you were hit in the mouth, especially if you are wearing a mouth guard. However, it should be deep enough that a split lip won't expose the implant. If would have to be a cut deep enough to require stitches. Have fun boxing! Good luck

Hi, I have performed many lip augmentation procedures using dermal fillers or lip implants for over 30 years.  The Permanent Lip implant is placed in a subcutaneous soft tissue space where the two lips meet.  In other words at the edges of the lips farthest away from the vermillion (lip to skin) border.  The implants are soft and pliable but like all implants are susceptible to bleeding and possible subsequent infection secondary to blunt force trauma.  I have had many SWAT, LE, MiIlitary and fighters (MMA, Boxers, Martial Arts) undergo silastic implants of the cheeks, chin and lips that do very well....however there is "always" added risk when engaging in activity that might create trauma to the implant site.  Following my beauty principles, 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 a much more reliable volume for augmentation of the lips than permanent fillers or fat injections which are associated with increased, unwanted, side effects.
Hope this helps.
