PermaLip is a silicone-based implant that is surgically implanted into the lips. Because implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes results can be customized to meet the aesthetic goals of patients and provide a natural and balanced appearance to the lips. Results are long-lasting and repeat procedures do not need to be performed.

There are risks associated with all surgical procedures. The risks specific to a PermaLip lip augmentation are carefully explained to patients by Dr. Weber during initial consultations. The overwhelming majority of patients find that the potential benefits of surgery far outweigh the risks. Risks rarely play a factor in patients’ treatment decisions.

PermaLip lip augmentations can be combined with other procedures. Lip augmentation pairs nicely with a lip lift procedure and other procedures that aim to create a more youthful appearance. Patients who are interested in combining procedures are advised to discuss their aesthetic goals with Dr. Weber so a perfect treatment plan can be created.

Patients should expect some swelling after their procedure. Dr. Weber gives patients very specific instructions regarding how to manage swelling. Patients who follow Dr. Weber’s instructions see their swelling quickly subside.

Patients who wish to maximize their results are advised to follow all of Dr. Weber’s recovery instructions. Lip moisturizers that contain sunscreen can be worn to protect the lips and keep them healthy. Smoking and drinking out of straws are to be avoided as they can cause lip wrinkling and volume loss.

Dr. Weber’s patients receive natural results that perfectly blend with their attractive facial features. One of the key measures Dr. Weber takes to provide such results is making sure the lower lip is slightly larger than the upper. This gives a balanced look and reduces the possibility of the lips not looking natural.

Local anesthesia is used so patients do not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. The anesthesia is administered via injection using tiny needles that cause very little pain.

PermaLip implants are made out of a soft and natural feeling material. Once the swelling goes down, patients’ lips will feel normal. Implants will not be felt.

Neither patients nor their partners will feel any difference when kissing. Speech will not be affected in any way.

The incisions used to perform the procedure are very small. They are placed in the corners of the mouth within the red lip tissue. It is rare for this part of the lip to heal with any visible scarring. Special sutures are used to close incisions. Stitches will dissolve on their own or will be taken out by Dr. Weber at the first postoperative appointment. A noticeable scar will not form.

Smoking affects the body’s healing processes and increases the risk of infection. Thus, patients who smoke will be asked to stop two weeks before and after their procedure. Patients who wish to maintain their results are encouraged to continue not smoking as constantly puckering the lips can cause wrinkling and volume loss. Excessive drinking out of a straw can have the same effect and should be avoided.
