Lip Enhancement
Would I Benefit From Lip Enhancement?
Lips that are thinner and less defined can be a concern whether they’re due to the aging process or just hereditary. If you think that you may want to enhance your lips, it is important to understand your choices. Since not all options are appropriate for everyone, Dr. Kaplan can best advise you on the solutions that will best suit your needs.
PermaLip™
For lip enhancement, in addition to injectable fillers, there is PermaLip™ - a minimally invasive, surgical alternative. PermaLip is an implant that is extremely pliable and natural feeling, yet it helps to define the lip region, leaving a soft and natural appearance.
- These implants are made of non-rupture, soft silicone.
- Two small incisions are made in the corners of the mouth.
- The implant is passed through a tunnel in the lip and centered.
- They are available in three different lengths to allow customizing the implant to your individual needs for a natural look.
- The procedure involves the use of local anesthesia.
The procedure is quick (about 15-30 minutes) and results are immediate, although swelling and bruising can occur for a short period.
The result is a more defined lip without an overdone or hard-edged look. And although PermaLip is “permanent”, it is easily removed. Put Dr. Kaplan’s skill and experience to work for you.
