WORTH IT$2,900
I had been watching and reading these forums for some time as I researched getting the Permalip and what size I wanted...I went with the medium size as I didn't know if the larger size was just a bit to big for my face...I figure I can always go up if I want in the future...so, I did get put to sleep and so very glad I did that...I had watched all of the youtube video's of the dental blocks and NO THANKS!! LOL
I am so far in a bit of pain (a 5 on a scale from 1 to 10 with no vicodin, but a 2 out 10 with it every 4 hours)...I can still feel my lips THANK GOODNESS and I am black and blue on top of my upper lip and a few red blotches on my actual lips...not that bad though...happy so far with the shape even though I am very swollen!! I have posted a few pics, some before surgery with some left over fillers and then some today after surgery...
I can say that without a doubt, I LOVE IT so far and I am hoping for a full recovery soon!

Hi. Your lips look really great. I am going for a consultation this afternoon to have this done next Friday. I'm hoping to be able to return to work on the following Wednesday. I'm slightly worried about what people will notice / say when I get back. They're very conservative where I work. Would you say they are still the same shape as your own lips but just with more volume?

Hi CJ Thanks, I am still pretty bruised up on top and bottom of lips...swelling is a bit down, I think you will be ok on the swelling...cover up your bruises with a make up you can get at Sephora, called Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage makeup...it really covers the bruises and the only make up I found that is really really good...
I had some filler in my lips when I went in, but yes, so much more volume I am hoping they go down about 1/4 of what they look like today, the bruising is ugly...be prepared to have a bit of pain in the first 48 hours, then it's gone...You will love it...I went with the medium as I did not want to look too lippy and just wanted a bit more volume...good luck, let us know how it goes!

Thanks so much. Went for the consultation on Friday and the surgeon recommended I have a medium in the top only as my lower is fairly good anyway. Having only one done is slightly less scary. Its being done on Friday. How is your recovery going?

CJ, you can always get the bottom done if it seems to be misaligned and I think the Mediums are great...that is what I did and love it so far...I have a tiny frame and thought the large might be too big, but hey, that's just me!! :) Good luck, post your pics!!

Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf! You're looking really good and I'm so glad you're happy with your results. Please keep us posted as the swelling continues to go down and you feel better and better.

Thanks Angie...I will continue to post pictures...Swelling is bit more than I expected...I think a good week and I will be much more at ease but so far I am happy, I can see the shape is going to be very nice!! Chapped lips and a bit tight still.
