I've always wanted fuller lips but was not interested in injections. Something about a liquid being injected in my lips and then absorbed by my body over time doesn't sit well with me. Along with cost and having to repeat every several months, this didn't seem like a good option for me. I looked into permalip implants, as I was also getting breast implants and liked the idea of something solid and permanent in the lips as well. I had BA on Thursday Sept 7,2017 and lips done the following Monday. I think I have a high pain tolerance since having knee surgery, 2 c-sections and multiple piercings. I have to be honest, the lip implant procedure wasn't so bad but immediately after my mouth hurt very much. I had a 2.5 hour drive back home and my teeth hurt so much. The numb/tingly sensation is something that takes time to get used to. Even trying to pick your lips feels funny. I do love them very very much and am glad I went through with the procedure. I live on 10 acres so it's easy for me to get outside without having to see people and I think this helped so much. Going for walks in fresh air made both lips and breasts feel much better

Hey! How long did it take for your smile to come back normal? I’m 12 days in and my smile looks so weird still.

Nearing 2 weeks somcing getting permalip. I am so in love with them. Kissing is feeling more normal. The numbness and tingling are hardly noticeable. I have much more range of motion to smile and laugh.

Hey there!
I just got mine two weeks ago and am already worried I made a mistake. My smile is so awkward and tight and I feel like I looks weird. Did your smile start to return to looking and feeling normal after some time and did the implant start to feel softer after some time as well? I’m just freaking out that my natural pretty smile will be messed up now. Thanks!

Don't freak out!! It will get better with time and be less tight. I can smile and open my mouth much bigger than in the first few weeks. The implant does begin to feel softer too. When I touch my lips with my younger I feel it much less already. When I touch with my fingers I can still it very much.
