I guess with age everything deflates and goes...

I guess with age everything deflates and goes south..... gosh. I have decided to get 4 mm permalip here in Austin. I really don't want the big lips just what nature is slowly taking away. I am very happy but also worried about the outcome as there lots of positive (yes about 75%) and then those that have made less of a good experience. The good thing you can remove them if they don't look right.

I'm thinking of trying a filler this summer and would love to see your results. I literally have a nonexistent upper lip. I'd be happy with your lips now! Something permanent would be much better, but after having my first root canal over a year ago, my jawline is still numb! That makes me wonder if some type of nerve damage or something worse would happen to me if I opted for a permanent solution.

Sorry to hear about your jawline still being numb after a year... Should not have happened after a root canal. But I'll tell you visit ps and ask. I am now 24 hrs post op and I am good. I am just hopeful that all will go great. I have posted a pic And I will update more. I can understand your fear though. I have been thinking about this for a while. I tried juvadetm before but it only lasted 2 weeks. I tried 3-4 times and it seems that I have an accelerated metabolism. :(. Good luck

I'm looking forward to your update. Your lip shape is nice, but could be bigger. Good luck!

Angie yes you are right, in fact I think we have similar lips, thin and in my case they were cute. I am now post op and while everything is still swollen I think it will be great. I am really watching the after care. Non fact I decided to leave my children with their father so I can rest and not stress out my lips. I have only been eating fluids etc. What's great about this procedure is that you can revert it and if you want go bigger... Well there is 5 mm still available. So far so good.

4 mm permalip on 2 Apr, very happy
0705newmwApril 3, 2015
I am now almost 24 hours post op. And so far I have to say I am thrilled. My lips are still very swollen. And the procedure in itself was a ok. The shots were as expected pretty painful but manageable. Once it was all numb the procedure took 30 minutes. And I'll be honest it is not exactly a fun time at all. As you may see in order to lessen the risk of the implant shifting the doctor placed sutures in thI middle of the lip I know it looks painful but isn't. I am still on meds for the pain. Also I am in keflex and vatrax, which I started taking a day before to prevent infection and any blisters. So far I am very pleased.

2 weeks post op doing really good
0705newmwApril 15, 2015
I am now 2 weeks post op and so far so good. I took it as easy as I could for the first week, only fluids, no major animation with my mouth. My recommendation is really keeping it to the minimum as far as talking etc. It was so swollen and very very bruised. Have lots of patience. I was getting pretty aggravated because the healing is just no joke. I've had several procedures in my life and this one is pretty intense as the after care is so important. Now 2 weeks later I have full mobility. I can do pretty much everything. There's still sweeping on my top lip. The top lip is also still very firm but mobile. Not sure how they feel kidding because my husband is gone until June but from what my little daughters are telling me is that the feel soft .... But then again I only give them a lil kiss on their lil lips. However kissing my hand ... It does feel ok. So theres no pain. Once I hit one week I started the stretching if my lips and eat solid food. This is where you really notice what is important as well, smiling, laughing, eating apples .... The first times you notice the pulling and stretching to an uncomfortable state :(. I am now one week from all the stretching and it is ok. I still feel the stretching but I do know it will get better. To be honest I did not give it too much thought pre surgery until I read from a lady that had the implants with a limited smile...therefore stretching is do inportant. Overall I am happy. I'll upload pics later

so are you still happy I want to get this done but I am concerned because some people aren't happy and some are I am on the fence about the whole thing further are you happy with the size ?
We are the same age and I totally know what you saying! I tried filler in my lips a few years ago, but can't seem to bring myself to maintain it. How are you doing with your new implants?
