I wouldn’t be without my Permalips now. The swelling has finally (!) gone down and I have gotten used to the feel of them.

My lips remain somewhat uneven, but I realize this is what I started with. The doctor specifically told me the implants were not meant to correct asymmetry.
I am glad I had the procedure.

Thanks for following through with this review, helpful. I'm planning on having mine done in the next couple months, I'm worried about the duck bill, did your top lip resolve? It's hard to tell by this last picture! Thanks.
Thank you for the update

Well, I have mostly gotten used to the feel of the implants. However, there is a problem with the upper lip implant, which shows a lot sometimes, and sometimes little. I am not sure what the problem is, and dr. Lee apparently cannot see me for another 2 months (!!!). Hopefully he will fix it, as he initially said he would.

It looks like the implant is leaning to your left side. The size looks really good but the leaning should be rebalanced. I understand wanting better lips. I had fat injected in my upper lip about 15 yrs ago - that worked well to correct an odd shape. The bottom of my upper lip (the part that touches or meets with the lower lip) was an "M" shape with the center hanging down. So the added fat straightened or flattened the M at bottom but top of lip closes to nose kept a normal appearance.
So this is what happened: the tunnel on the “deformed” side started to heal/close up, pushing the implant up. It took dr. Lee about 5 minutes to reopen it. He asked me to move the implant back and forth. So he tunnel remains open. This solved my problem. Looking decent now.
