Permalip Implants 5mm, 33 Transwoman
ORIGINAL POST
So this year I have finally have enough disposable...
$1,500
So this year I have finally have enough disposable income to start getting cosmetic procedures and surgeries. I've been having electrolysis, Botox, fillers etc.
My friend and I had been researching permalip because we were dissatisfied with fillers. We found a surgeon fairly close who had a great price for the procedure and so we decided to do it.
The doctor was very nice and made us feel very comfortable, he even let us both film the procedures.
I put down "not sure" wether it was worth it, because at this time I cannot tell what the end result will be.
After the procedure there was a fair bit of swelling but I didn't feel like a monster. After all the lidocaine wore off on the drive home, that was a different story. My lips were swollen to at least 3x the size, and the pain was like nothing I've ever felt. The incisions hurt, the lips hurt, all the injection sites inside my mouth were excruciating. My jaw and cheekbones were throbbing, my throat and tongue felt awful... and I was driving home... so complete misery.
I suggest that if you drive somewhere to have the procedure done, you stay there in a hotel overnight. When I woke up in the morning my lips were gigantic but I wasn't really in pain anymore... and here we are, it's 11:30 am the next day and I'm writing this review. I'll keep you posted lol
There are pictures from before the procedure, directly after the procedure, when I got home (after 5 hours of driving), and when I woke up this morning.

Day 2? Day 3?
Not sure if this is considered day 2 or day 3 but I've been pretty regularly taking pictures and my swelling is definitely improving. I am a little concerned though because I have a lot of numbness in my lips. Most of my upper lip and the left side and vermillion border of my lower lip are completely numb. I haven't really read anything about anyone else having this issue, so I don't really know wether to be concerned. If it persists for several more days I'll definitely call the doctor.... not that he can do anything lol

They're pretty good, they healed really well. They are not as large as I was hoping they would be, but I'm overall pleased. I'd say that the 5mm implant is like having a little more than a full syringe of filler in each lip.

Looking much better
It's day 6 and my lips are looking much better. (except for the bruising) they feel a lot better too. I've included the pictures from the last few days. I'm hoping that this is about the size they'll stay at. I'll keep you posted.
