Hello All, I am so excited to introduce a new procedure offered at the Cosmetic and Laser Surgery Center, PermaLip Lip Augmentation!  If want to enhance your lips, this is the best permanent implant available. The PermaLip Implant was designed to conform with the natural shape of the lip, unlike other lip implants.  PermaLip Implants begin as silicone which is then put through a molding process with an outcome of a soft, flexible implant with tapered ends.    Other implants are made from Gortex, which has a foam like feel, and are molded into a cylinder shape with flat ends.  Silicone is used because it is soft and has a non-porous surface, which give the lip a more natural shape and feel. Another plus to PermaLip is that it's an easy, in office procedure.  The procedure is done under local anesthesia in our office exam rooms.  After you are numb, two small incisions are made in the corners of each lip.  Then the implant is inserted and one small, dissolvable stitch is used to suture the incision.  The whole procedure is quick and easy for the patient! After the procedure,  patients have the most swelling in the first 3-4 days.  It is advised to have 2-3 days for healing, or you can have the procedure at the end of the week and be ready for regular activity by Monday! I would love to discuss this new, amazing procedure with you!  Call our office at any time to set up a consultation. 501.224.1044.
