5 Mm Top and Bottom, Permalip Implants

Hi, I'm sorry, just now I saw your other message, the swelling went down with 2 weeks, I took ibuprofen and it helped me a lot, when I open my mouth or smile I still have pain. Well, I'm not liking them, they're very hard, I feel the implants all the time, my husband is not liking them either, I'm thinking of asking the doctor to remove them and do the fat transfer. I hope you will love your new lips :)

Curious if he charged you for a new implant? If so how much? Did you get used to them or remove them? I think my bottom implant broke or was damaged because I can't feel the skinny end. The fat part causes a bump on the side. I really hate to bother him again but I think I'd rather absolutely love them than to have a bump bother me. I figured even if I pay 700 for a new implant it's still less than what I would have paid elsewhere. Hope you are loving your lips!

I'm sorry to hear that, he'll try to make the last correction on my bottom lip, I paid only $ 1500 the first time, he didn't charge extra, because it's not our fault. Come back to him as fast as you can, probably he'll change the implant as he did mine, when you call to schedule the return, let they know that you want to do it in the same day, because otherwise they'll ask you to come back another day.

I’m not sure what imperfections you are referring to. No ones face is symmetrical so whatever asymmetry you had it will be more noticeable. Wait another week or so. If it’s the placement of an implant then you’ll go back and have it put in differently or removed. They never heal in one place and keep moving but tend to sit off to the side. My friend went back and had it redone. It can be fixed by making the incision in the center and tunneling to each side measured to fit, then secured with a stitch. The bottom one you’ll always feel and it’s annoying. The upper one you’ll forget about. I kept the upper. Now I just get a lot of filler regularly. The implant makes a nice base for it. What you really want and what does make a significant difference is the upper lip lift done by a sub nasal excision. Also look into tenting technique with fillers, aka Russian lip technique which allows more lip to show vs just ducky plumpness.

Thanks for your comment! I loved your posts and videos when you had yours done! I had mine done with the same doctor. I have incisions in the middle of lips. The implants are centered perfectly especially bottom lip. The only thing is I feel like one end of my top implant is showing more and isn’t as deep as the other one. Maybe it’s just me because it is in my lips. Once it’s not noticeable I will probably just leave it alone. I had no lips to begin with, and now looking at the pics I took right before surgery, my mouth were so crooked, and my nose too. :) Amazing how we never notice natural imperfections but we do every tiny thing after whatever surgery. I guess no lips makes it harder to put in 5mm implant. My healing was rough. Finally all bruising is gone and I look normal and movement is coming back. They do look perfect with lipstick on. I never had filler before. Was a big change. Of course I’m liking it at this point. Really fun especially selfies!

I actually don’t feel my bottom lip but I am very aware of my top. Maybe because I have middle incisions that pull more. I’m sure it will go away and I will get used to it. I was looking into lip lift but I can’t get myself a scar on my face. My nose is more up and the scar would be really showing. Also sometimes it widens your nose and I’m not looking for that. Also you can get whatever complications like after any surgery and that would be right on my face that I can’t have. Also it can drop back and you would have to get revision done. And the major no for me is it is irreversible. Implants are easy just take them out and there won’t be any outside scars. Don’t really care about inside of my mouth. Once you had a piece of skin gone, that’s it. It is gone and nothing you can do about it but have it for the rest of your life. I know there are really good results and high satisfaction level of lip lifts. But I’m not there yet at this point. Staying on the safe side for now.

Hi, I don't know yet, I had to go to 3nd procedure, I posted more pictures. Thanks.
