Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation with PermaLip is a cosmetic surgical procedure that creates fuller, plumper lips. The implant produces a very natural appearance and feel to your lips, and it is both long-lasting and safe. PermaLip is a patented, FDA-approved device that has undergone extensive clinical testing to ensure its safety and efficacy.

Who is a good candidate for PermaLip?

Some people have inherited thin lips, and others lose lip volume with aging. As fat disappears and collagen weakens, the lips can shrink, making the area around the mouth look sunken and aged. The lips can be enhanced with hyaluronic fillers such as Restylane®, Juvéderm®, or Belotero®. These treatments are very effective but temporary.

PermaLip is a soft, natural-looking implant. You may be a good candidate for this treatment if you prefer long-lasting results or if you want to avoid regular injections.

What can I expect during my lip augmentation procedure?

The PermaLip implant procedure can be safely performed with local anesthesia or intravenous, “twilight” sedation.
The entire process can take less than thirty minutes, and you may return home after the procedure.
Dr. Copit will make a small incision just inside the corner of your mouth, through which surgical instruments will be used to create a tunnel along the length of the lip.
The implant will then be placed and positioned in the tunnel, and the incision will be closed with sutures.

What is the recovery time after lip augmentation with PermaLip?

You can return to work and resume normal activities within approximately one week after a lip augmentation procedure. Some mild and discomfort is normal, and these symptoms can be managed with cold compresses and pain medication. You may experience a short adjustment period, but your lip implants will soon feel normal, so you can speak, eat, and kiss just as you did before the surgery.
