Question:
My lips need help! They are thin and extremely ugly. Could you please give me some details about the lip enhancement procedures that you offer?
Answer:
We offer injectable fillers for lip enhancement or lip implants utilizing the Permalip implant. The injectable fillers, Juvederm or Restylane are usually used. This is a 15 minute procedure and has some minor bruising and swelling involved. The results usually last about 6 months. The Permalip procedure is performed in the office with oral sedation and local anesthetic. It also takes about 30 minutes. There is a little more tenderness and swelling, but it is usually resolved in about 4-5 days.
