$2,400
I've always wanted larger lips and considering the cost over time I opted to go with the permalip lip implants. I had my surgery yesterday, the numbing process was REALLY uncomfortable I didn't feel anything during the placement but the local anesthetic starting wearing off a bit towards the end when the doctor was suturing the Corners of my mouth. So far...I have a ton of swelling and bruising. I can hardly open my mouth to eat anything and difficult to drink anything. I don't have so much pain in my actual lips just a lot of pressure and some burning. I do feel pain in my jaws; possibly from the needle during the lidocaine injections. A I a slightly uneven area on the bottom lip and hoping it's just from the swelling. At this point due to discomfort and the crazy looking face I'm regretting it and wishing I would have just got fillers every couple months! I'll update!

I received a quote yesterday from a doctors office in this procedure. They said it could possibly

HIT POST BY MISTAKE. DR. said I could probably benefit with a lip lift as well which is as much as the implants. So double my cost if I have both lift and implants. Did you have a lift with yours? Or implants only? Thanks

I had just the implants. Dr didn't recommend a lift for me but, if i ever had anything else done to my face I would consider a tiny upper lip lift just for more top teeth exposure.

The nerve block injections were worse than any shot I have ever had....I think they should use IV Sedation with this procedure. I'm seriously thinking of having them removed because of the burning, cold sensation, and having a lip lift.....its natural looking, and lips aren't hard..and my dentist will be happy because these implants make it very hard to get into a small mouth , I was refused braces because they can't get into my mouth due to these implants not being stretchy .....I hate them....hate them and would never recommend them. A lip lift is so much easier and natural....Google lip lift......you can watch it ...simple ...and say good bye to hard, burning lips that most always from a side view look duck like. I work for three physicians, who wouldn't recommend them either..good luck...

5mm permalip implant top and bottom
Today...day two after procedure still really swollen, I don't have any movement in my mouth to eat and drink well. I'm having this super irritating feeling of tingling and twitching with a cold burning sensation. I hope their wasn't any nerve damage done.

Can you give another update? Are you happier with having it done now? I'm having tve procedure on Thursday. We have the same size 'before' lips and I'm doing the 5mm also. Thank you!!!!

I'm still swollen and can't really move my mouth much to say but as of right now I'm wishing I would have just done fillers and spent more money over time. There is a small are by the corner of my mouth that I can't feel the implant and I can everywhere else. Not sure if it's there and just not hard like the rest of if it isn't long enough. I guess I'll be able to tell more in a couple of days. You can't tell from the photos but can see it in person and feel it. I will update more as I heal! Good luck!

Thank you for the update! From most reviews, I have seen a lot of this type of recovery for a week or 2 and then a month out everyone loves them. I think you will just need some more time to recover as in any procedure. The only benefit of not being able to open my mouth a lot is that it's a forced diet. :0 Trying to look at the silver lining. Hope every day is just a little better than the day before. They result really does look amazing on you. Hang in there. (PS: I'll be saying all this to myself come Thursday) :)

I didn't! I completely chickened out. I was having my first procedure EVER (a rhinoplasty) and didn't want to push it. The day before I backed out. I'm so happy I did because I could barely breathe since my nose was completed clogged. If I couldn't open my mouth wide, I would of had a panic attack. I keep going back and forth to do it. Just like someone said before, to me, they look a lot different and look great on you. It's sometime hard to see things on your face since you see yourself every day. They do look great! Makes me want to get them :)

Don't ! They are horrible ! Try a lip lift instead, you only need to get the top lip done , it's easy , cheaper and less trama .....I'm getting mine removed, the have burned for 4 years non stop, I go through a tube of Burts Bees a day...they feel awful..icy, burning, tingling...a lip lift is the way to go....no scars, less time healing, simple procedure....and no duck look....these implants you can feel, push around, they are hard....please, please , take it from someone who has them, works in a Doctor's office ...they aren't work it !

Good luck. You are beautiful before and after. I am sure the swelling will go down in the next couple of weeks. Please keep us posted with your progress,

I just had resyline and it was so easy. But i know what your going through because 10 years ago i had permanent fillers for 10 years i looked great then they got infected and i had them removed. The pain of insertionduring and after was intolerable even with pain meds. I tell you it was a [RS bleep]. I looked terrible for weeks. And then finally it settlrd down and looked pretty good. But now i am thinking of permalip, but i don't want that pain again. So i went and got restyline. They look good and even, but i don't think it will last more than 6 months. I need to see what you say in a few weeks. When the pain subsides you'll forget itand look gorgeous. It's just a rough rough few weeks i suffered. I looked terrible. I hope your ok. Just stay home with ice on it. 15 minutes on and then off for 15 minutes. And takeall the pain meds. And it will be worth it. But iyou brought backthe nightmare. I is a rough time. Keep writing so i will know your>>sorry I wrote in caps I didn't mean to yell, I am having trouble seeing. because I had upper eyelids done, no pain.

Wow, that looks sore. Please put ice on every 15 minutes. I was nurse prac. and I know you've done a good thing, it just is rough now.

How do you know the proper size 5mm is thatmedium. I have OK lips but alittle fuller would be better and permanent no more fillers.

Hey how are your lips now, dr Nein did mine a year ago

I'm happier with the look of my lips after the procedure but I'm not fully satisfied with my results. Took 3 months for them to feel "normal", they aren't as full as i would have liked, and my top lip looks a bit lopsided. Are you happy with yours?
Please email me and let me know if your happy with your final results!! I'm very interested in having this done. I just want to make sure I pick the right Dr. ********@embarqmail.com. Thank you so much!!!!
