Why lip implant is not a good option? 2 doctors suggested them but don't recommend them

Question

I have extremely thin lips. in 3yrs Iv done 12 syringe Lip fillers, 4-5 different Products such as Juvederm ultra , restylane kyss and couple more. I've consulted four doctors in two cities, each lip fillers disappear within two weeks, as if I never got them. This has been extremely frustrating. I suspect my fast metabolism is to blame. Two doctors suggested lip implants as an alternative, but they don't recommend them. Why ?

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Lip implants do very well for most patients and are a permanent way to fix thin lips.  They are easy to  put  in and easy to remove but very few docs know about them or even have them.  Of the 3 major types, really only 1 type is readily available now.  They run about $3500 per implant.
