How do I know which implant is the right size for me?

The SurgiSil Permalip Implant™ is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate the uniqueness of your individual lip anatomy. During your consultation, Dr. Michael Thornton will measure each lip length and determine the most appropriate size for you. There are three separate diameter sizes (3mm, 4mm, and 5mm) and each implant comes in three separate lengths for a total of nine possible choices.

What if I want to have the implant(s) removed?

Although the PermaLip implant is designed to remain permanent, under specific personal circumstances, it may be removed should a person wish to return to their original appearance.

What should I expect immediately post-operatively?

You should expect post-operative lip swelling, bruising, and tenderness with the majority of bruising and swelling resolving after the first week. Over the course of 7-10 days following the procedure, your lip swelling should resolve. Results are individualized.

Is the Permalip procedure painful?

Dr. Michael Thornton will perform the procedure using local anesthesia and facial nerve blocks. Acute discomfort usually resolves after the first 1-2 days with the use of prescribed pain medication, ice, and elevation.

When will I be able to see my results?

It may take several weeks to see your results. However, the operative site will be swollen for the first few days following the procedure. As the swelling subsides you will begin to see your final result. Results are individualized.
