One of the signs associated with aging or smoking is the loss of volume in the lips and peri-oral wrinkling. In some cases, patients simply have thin lips and would like to improve the appearance.

For a short term solution, non-permanent fillers can be used but the cost can add up over the years. If a more permanent solution is preferred, permalip is a great alternative. It is a soft silicone implant which can be inserted through the corner of the mouth under local anaesthetic. There may be some swelling and bruising for a few days but will all settle down within a week. Patients are asked to perform lip message for a few weeks.

The implant can easily be removed but so far, no one has requested the removal of the implant.
