Lip Augmentation

Perma Facial Implant, the safe, definitive solution for permanent tissue augmentation. Perma Facial Implant is a patented, FDA approved device designed for tissue augmentation of the face and has undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure its safety and efficacy.

Perma Facial Implant is made of a soft, solid silicone elastomer using an injection molding process to produce a naturally contoured implant with a smooth, non-porous surface. The implant cannot rupture or deflate, and may be removed at any time.

For permanent lip enhancement, the appropriate diameter is determined through the consultation between the patient and surgeon regarding the desired result and reasonable expectations and it is also available in a variety of sizes to accommodate individual needs.

Although Perma Facial Implant is permanent, it is also designed to be easily reversible should a person wish to return to their original appearance.

A dental block is administered by injecting the facial sensory nerves (infraorbital and mental) with a 30-gauge needle and 2ccs of 1% Lidocane with Epinephrine buffered with Sodium Bicarbonate. A lip block is then performed directly to the substance of the lip with emphasis on the commissural region. Finally, the patient’s peri-oral region is prepped. The open approach has a 4-5mm external incision in each commissure. The incisions are closed with one stitch using absorbable suture to grab deep tissue.

Post operative you should expect to be swollen and slightly tender. Depending on the individual, there may be some bruising as well. The majority of bruising and swelling usually subsides after the first week. Most discomfort, if present, usually resolves after 24-48 hours, although you will be sensitive to light or medium pressure for about 2 weeks.

The first step is to request a consultation from a qualified Plastic Surgeon with whom the options can be discussed and a comprehensive plan can be formulated. Then you can decide what type of Perma Facial Implant is best suited to your individual desires.
