| During the aging process, the lips become progressively thin. This thinning is especially noticeable in the upper lip. Lip augmentation can be performed with a variety of methods including using the patient’s own fat, placing a small piece of Alloderm, an implant, or injectable fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane. Regardless of the technique performed, the goal is a youthful appearance of the lips; however, overcorrection should be avoided to prevent an unnatural look. |
| |
| Each physician has their favorite product to use for augmentation of the lips. Personally, I feel that the newly released hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm or Restylane) are extremely safe and easy to use. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is present in all living things and is, therefore, highly unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. These products are virtually painless following a local anesthetic and, when injected correctly, result in naturally full lips. |

Perma Facial Implant for Lips |
| Lip enhancement techniques may be separated into two kinds: temporary and permanent. Temporary techniques require the use of injectable fillers repeated every 6-9 months to maintain their appearance. Permanent techniques generally involve the use of injectable gel, fat or implants. |
| |
| As a result of limitations associated with existing lip enhancement techniques, extensive research has led to the creation and development of the Perma Facial Implant, a revolutionary new implant used for lip enhancement. |
| |
| For lips, Perma Facial Implant is unlike anything we’ve seen. The variety of patient needs that can be addressed with the Perma procedure is immense. |
| |
| Among the most remarkable aspects of these lips are their natural appearance and ease with which they can be replaced for another size or removed altogether. Never before has a product made for this use offered so many exceptional qualities: |
- Natural appearance
- Soft silicone/but cannot rupture, deflate, or degrade over time
- Routine procedure performed under local anesthetic
- Resistant to tissue "in growth"
- Permanent, but easily replaceable or removable
- Does not restrict lip movement
- FDA approved
