Adding an update as I really appreciated them when doing my research. Swelling is meant to be completely gone at 3 months and I am at 5 months.
Judging by my "before" pics, I'd say these 4mm implants are fairly similar to around 1-1.5ml filler. FOREVER!!! They are subtle, close friends I'd not seen for a while didn't comment/seem to notice. My dad even said to me the other day "I'm glad you don't have that stuff in your lips anymore" (I told him my bigger lips were due to filler when they were still a bit swollen at around 1month post op) which is a bit sad. However whilst I found all that a bit frustrating, I needn't as I can really see the difference and that should be all that matters.
Slight ridge under my nose when smiling but I have such a short philtrum and narrow mouth this really was inevitable.
For me they were worth the money (£2000). Filler in London is around £400 for 1ml and I would have been getting this bi-annually. They also look fantastic with lipstick (this is when people give me compliments on my "full" lips haha). It's great not to have to think about regular and costly injections to keep the look I like. That being said, I'm sure at some point I may be tempted to get some filler on top of the implants but we shall see. It's definitely not something I will pursue in the immediate future.
Next procedure (possibly) will be lip tattooing.

7 Week Update
FeefiefofumNovember 22, 2016
I've just hit the 7 weeks post op mark. I'm pretty sure the swelling has all gone now. They kinda look like I am perma pouting, however I like this! I have always suffered in winter with dry lips and I'm happy to report the implants do not worsen it. If I scrub them and oil them at night, the next morning they are smooth, I haven't bothered with this pic which is why they look a bit dry... With lip liner and lippy I can make them look huge, so they are very versatile. Subtle yet definite difference, for ever! Such a good feeling! Happy to answer any questions you have, X

Hello, first of all I think you lips look amazing! Just a couple of questions .. do the stitches on the sides leave a scar? And do you feel the implant move when kissing or sucking? Thank you so much!! xx
November 22, 2016
Hey, thank you. There is currently scar tissue in the very insides where the stitches were. Not visible, but I can feel it with my tongue, it's getting less and less and will eventually disappear completely I believe. They don't move when I kiss or suck but I am very aware of their presence. Hope that helps X

wow, what a great difference. I been doing fillers for years and actually considering this but it looks like you need at least 2 weeks off work right? does he dissolve the prior fillers you have in then do the permalip? thanks so much,
December 1, 2016
Hi, no need to dissolve fillers prior to the surgery. I'd say if you wanted to keep your surgery completely private take 2 weeks off. I'd have been happy going back to work at day 9 though. Hope that helps!

Hi......so did you end up getting the 4mm? I am seriously considering this surgery and actually had my consult today. I have very small lips and get 2 syringes of Juvederm every 6-7 months--getting too expensive lol! My question is are you still happy you did this? Can you feel it/does it bother you? Can your partner feel it? Do you have any downsides you can share about getting this procedure (aside from the pain/procedure itself)? Thank you so much

Hey you, how are your lips going? I used bio oil on the lips, weirdly. Seemed to do the job nicely after a vigorous exfoliation!

It looks so beautiful on you :) can you post a pic without lipstick? Is the lip "stripes" still there? I find fillers make the lips look like sausages sometimes with no ridges and grooves just smooth, i wonder if lip implants gets you a natural look?
October 20, 2016
Hey, thanks! The pic before this one shows them with no lipstick if that helps? At first they are super tight, smooth and shiny, but now their "personality" is coming back. Lines and groves do exist currently, possibly fewer than before but they def look real :)
October 20, 2016
Okey thanx :) awesome! Are you still happy with results? Your lips looks fantastic :) they were nice before but now they are full :) I would love to make my one day, but I will try lip fillers first and see if I like the look. Did you have any filler before? Or you just did the surgery?

Your lips look beautiful!!! Are you happy with the 4 or do you wish you had tried the 5? Can they bend it to the shape of your lips? Please keep updating.
October 20, 2016
Hey, for me, 5 wasn't really an option. I would love them to be bigger (this pic is very flattering) but the trade off with that is if you have a small mouth and short philtrum you can get this massive ridge when you smile. If I had a longer philtrum and wider mouth I would have def got the 5.
October 28, 2016
Be happy you got the 4. I started with the 5 and had to switch to the 4. Weird ridge above. It looked unnatural and felt thick and uncomfortable.
June 15, 2017
I have a weird ridge above my top lip too. My Dr recommended the 5mm. I wish I would have insisted on the 4mm. Did your ridge go away with the 4's and how long did you have to wait to do the switch?
October 20, 2016
Your lips look great! If I knew my would look good I would do it too
October 20, 2016
Thanks, I hope it's not swelling :( will update in a month when all swelling should be gone :)
October 23, 2016
Hi beauty! Hope you are enjoying your new look! So as I told you I actually went ahead and booked the procedure and plane tickets and the whole thing. but I'm really doubting the decision again - I've read quite a lot of reviews where people cannot smile and laugh naturally without getting self conscious about their lips as they look crooked or just unnatural even 6 month after. How is your experience so far? And what about psychological distress after? A lot of women feel massive regret and like a roller coaster emotionally. You seem quite calm about the whole thing? Sorry for this long essay ;) but I'm just so much in doubt again and you are my only ally since I'm not planning on telling anybody (if you think I can even get away with it?). Thanks so much for pics and answers!! Xo

I would love to hear an update on how you are liking them! Any recent pictures?
