1 year 4 month Update

WORTH IT$2,500
Hi - it is now a year and 4 months since my procedure, and I’m still extremely satisfied with the results. At first I thought I could have gone 1 size larger in my top lip, but my lips look very natural, so maybe they are perfect as they are. I have had no issues related to this procedure. My lips feel normal again and all sensation and functionality has returned. Of course, I can still feel the implant with my fingers if I try. I had one friend ask if I had gotten Botox or something done on my eyes (I had not). So, I think people noticed that something was different, but they weren’t sure what, which is perfect, in my opinion! I think I look a bit softer and younger, possibly. If you’d like to ask more questions or would like to see my full face, please message me your email address. ????. This procedure is super easy and I loved the results! Please note, my smile is naturally a little crooked. ????

Day 12 and another post-op appointment
Ana_72April 7, 2017
Saw Dr. Kirbo again this morning. All is well with the healing. He did say that he had some trouble getting the top implant in due to a tear I had in my lip. I had no clue I had any internal damage, but I did notice a slight cut on my top lip that week. I can't even remember what I did to damage my lip. But that explains why the one side looks worse than the other. There are some extra skin nodules on that side but he said massage the area gently and it would go away. Only issues are that I can't feel my lips as much as I used to, so never sure if I have food on my mouth! Also, I can't rub my lips together (as in rubbing them together after applying Chapstick). I am not sure if these things will get better over time, but Il try to update in a month or so! Overall, still very pleased with the results.

What size implants did you get for the permalips?

How are your lips looking and feeling now?
September 28, 2017
It has been about 6 months and everything is looking great and feeling back to normal. I have full sensation again (so no worries about not knowing if I have food on my face) and I can rub them together for chapstick application. If I could do it again, I absolutely would. The difference is very subtle, so I would go a size larger in my top lip. If you are undecided on size, talk to your surgeon about going a size larger and see what he/she says. I am extremely pleased with the results and overall this is a very simple procedure. Good luck!

Thank you for replying. I'm really interested in doing this but need to find someone who is close here in Texas to do this.

I hope yours get better. My top lip (4, had a 5 but switched it out since it was making a weird shadow above) is completely and totally numb. I can't feel when there is food on my lip and I can't feel it when I kiss my boyfriend. The lower lip (also a 4) is fine. It's been 1 1/2 years. They feel chapped all of the time. Wish I had never done it. Hope yours turns out better then mine.

Day 8 and back at work
Ana_72April 3, 2017
Day 8 is much better all around. Slightly swollen, minimal bruising (still visible though) and I can open my mouth all the way. Still some internal healing where stitches remain on one side. I think that is where he inserted the larger (5mm) into my top lip. A couple of my friends asked if I got my "lips done." But they had never even heard of actual implants and assumed it was filler. Not sure if my employees notice, but they would never comment. I went on a first date last night and felt pretty comfortable (a little concerned about visible bruising). I ducked out when he tried to kiss me but played coy as if no kissing on the first date. ????
