Which would provide me with the most drastic and most permanent lip augmentation? I worry that the 5mm permalip implant will not provide drastic enough augmentation/fullness. I worry with dermal fat grafting that so much of it will be reabsorbed. I'm conflicted which procedure to go with. Is there a reason I should choose one over the other? Is there a certain technique a doctor should preform so the fat graft takes? I did read about dermal fat grafting with fascia taking from the pubic area.
Answer: Improving Lip Volume with Lip augmentation with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Implants, Fat Most doctors will start with one-syringe to avoid overfilling. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO NovaThreads can also be used to improve shape and also provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Filler VS Permalip! Thank you for your question. If you are not used to having full lips, I would always suggest to my patients to have filler first, to ensure they like the volumised look. If they do and want to opt for more of a permanent solution, then Permalip would be the route. Remember a lot of patient have filler and achieve a great look, however it can take them a good few procedures to ensure their desired appearance.PermaLip™ are revolutionary lip implants that are designed to look and feel natural, yet enhance your lip volume to your desired size. It does not deflate, degrade or rupture over time. Although it’s permanent, it is designed for the ease of placement if a patient wishes to achieve a larger or smaller enhancement or even return to the lips original appearance. It does not limit lip movement and provides a natural look.

Answer: Fat grafting may work well for you, but it is not a one-shot deal. The main difference between a lip implant versus some sort of graft is how many times are you willing to undergo the procedure? With a lip implant, it is one and done. However, if that is not the end result you were looking for, you will still need to do more procedures. It is not wise to put more than one lip implant in at a time. Someday, they will probably start making larger implant. It is possible to make a nice, full lip with either fat alone or fascia. However, a large percentage of it will be absorbed in the lip. I have many patients with full, beautiful lips that are made from fat, but they have had at least a dozen procedures performed. My patients have been very happy with the lip implant, but most are looking for a modest improvement.

Answer: Permalip or dermal fat grafting for lip augmentation 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.

Answer: Lip enlargement The Permalip implant is the more permanent and predictable choice. If your lips are so small that the largest implant won't work, it is unlikely any method will give the result you want unless you want an abnomal large looking result.
