Are you unhappy with the fullness of your lips? Do you desire more Voluptuous, sexy lips? Are you tired of repetitive injections with fillers to augment your lips? You may be a candidate for a permanent implant.
Dr. Pamela Henderson, M.D., of Scottsdale, Arizona is now offering the Perma Facial Implant™ for off label use in lip augmentation. Benefits of
a implant over injectable fillers include:
- Fills the entire lip rather than just the borders
- The results are permanent
- The risk of lumpiness is reduced
- Long term cost is less
- The implant cannot rupture or deflate, and may be removed at any time.
The implant is is made of a soft, solid silicone elastomer which is placed through small incisions just insider the corners of the mouth using local anesthesia. For your convenience the procedure is performed in the office generally taking less than an hour.
The downtime varies depending on the extent of swelling and bruising with an average recovery of 7 to 10 days. After the procedure, patients are encouraged to use ice to minimize swelling and to begin stretching and massage of the lips after several days to maintain the position of the implants and improve lip mobility. Because the implant is solid, it can be readily removed or exchanged if desired. To help customize the desired level of augmentation, the implants come in 3 thicknesses and 3 lengths.
