Hi,
I know there are already lots of reviews about lip implants. But before I have it done I actually wish I could read more about the procedure done in London and from my same doctor (dr Roy NG).
I had the surgery today and overall it was a good experience. Dr Roy was amazing, very professional and clear. He explained me about everything giving me answers to question I didn't do yet! He told me about all the risks, and still let me know I can change my mind in any moment.
My lips were always been very thin, so I was doing hyaluronic filler injections from 4 years, (2times X year) and I can see lots of lumps here and there on my lips, so I was looking for something permanent. I don't want anything huge or ducky or vulgar. full lips proportioned on my face ( I don't want to spend money and feel lots of pain for something not visible as well!).
So... he first put some anaesthetic gel on my lips to numb a little bit for the injections. Then he did 4 anaesthetic injection per lip, the same used by dentists. Some of them were ok but the central ones were horrible! He and his assistant Belinda were lovely, delicate, careful and explained me everything they where going to do. But the procedure was awful. I can't feel any pain, only pushing or pulling, but I can hear the scissors cutting the edge of my lips and it was so impressive! I tried to watch some video on youtube before, but they were horrible and I really can't, but I was thinking about them all the time knowing I was there having this terrible procedure!! My sister was with me and she told me it was not so bad...liar!
Anyway, everything was very fast, less than 20 min, then they gave me some ice to put on my lips, and 2 killerpain tablet already (and I would say thanks for that). When the anaesthetics was gone I started feeling an annoying feeling. The stronger was a twinge on my nose base connected to a twinge on my palate. But I have to be honest: I was ready for something absolutely worst. I can take killerpain any 4 hours, not less time, and every 3 1/2 hours I feel some pain coming but with some ice it's better. The bruising is coming now all around the lips and the swelling is not so much, but I think arnica and auriderm xo gel will help a lot. The most annoying thing for me is Carmex, I hate this menthol and the feeling that give on my lips, tomorrow I'll send my boyfriend to buy another lip balm, horrible!
So that's it for today! Hope to be helpful for somebody! I'll keep updated.

Hi I did it in London to the London private plastic surgery clinic. In my country (italy) it's also not very popular and it's quite hard to find someone able to go through the procedure.

Hi Gada, I did not realize you are from Italy. How long did you have to stay in London after your surgery!

Hi - you look fabulous! Thank you for sharing your experience. I cannot begin to tell you how helpful this is. What size permalip did you get? Your results are exactly what I am looking for!
April 11, 2015
Hi thank you! I did this kind of blog exactly to give more info because I think every experience is different. But at least you know what to expect before. I did the medium size, but honestly the difference is minimal between the medium and the large size.

Hi I am also going to same doc am very nervous what ml are you implants?
April 26, 2015
Hi! I can ensure you doc Roy and his assistant Belinda are very calming and professional! I have to be honest..during the procedure I still was very nervous and you have to be ready for the after. I had read so many reviews so I knew what aspect. My implants are a medium size which I suppose is the 4mm

Day 1
First day almost gone. I was actually ready for the worst, but luckily i'm ok! Sleeping tonight was awful: I use to sleep with my face down the pillow, so sleeping on my back was almost impossible. I still taking co-codamol every 4hours since today morning, and I don't know if i'm luckily strong with pain or if the timing taking the pills has been the best, but I can't feel big pain, only tight sensation and annoing movements.
I don't remember I never read about brushing the teeth... which was impossible yesterday. I had to do rinses with Peroxyl (suggested by the doctor). I both a kid tooth brusher and I was happily able to use it today. By the way, Arnica and Auriderm xo gel are very very helpful.
I can't wait to see the final result!!

Day 3
So..day 3 post op it's now on. I think my recovery it's going so well! The pain has been not so much, eating it's difficult but not impossible (i'm very scared to broke my stitches, but i'm trying to eat soft things as pasta, bagels, chicken slices), and they already deflated a lot. I'm actually nervous about that because it's only day 3 and the swelling has gone so much, I don't want my lip to go back at their normal shape! So much money, pain and bother for what?? I really hope they stop deflating...!
Brushing my teeth it's even better now, I still using a kids tooth brush, I can't wait to use again my normal, electric one!
I'm also impressed I can move my lips in many movements that I thought were impossible the firsts weeks. Of course they are stiff, especially the upper one (that's weird because 4 years of fillers have gone mainly there. I started fill the lower one only the last 2 times). I can feel like an electric sensation when I move or touch them, but I think it's absolutely normal if you think how "rough" the procedure is.
Here some new pictures.
