Who makes a good candidate for a lip augmentation procedure?

Patients who would like to improve the appearance of their lips may be candidates for a PermaLip lip augmentation in Denver. The procedure is ideal for patients who are looking for similar but longer-lasting results than those provided by traditional fillers. The procedure is usually only performed on healthy, non-smoking adults who have a positive mindset and realistic expectations. The definitive way for patients to determine if they are a candidate is to schedule and attend an initial consultation with Dr. Weber.

What is Dr. Weber’s approach to a PermaLip lip augmentation?

A PermaLip lip augmentation in Lone Tree is performed in a Weber Facial Plastic Surgery office procedure suite. Dr. Weber typically performs the procedure using local anesthesia. The injections used to administer the anesthesia are similar to those patients receive at the dentist. In some cases, local anesthesia may be supplemented with oral sedation to help patients feel completely comfortable and relaxed. The procedure is performed using the following steps:

  • Very tiny incisions are made at the corners of the mouth.
  • Small pockets are created within the upper and lower lips and implants are gently placed just beneath the lip tissue.
  • After the implants are precisely positioned, incisions are carefully closed using dissolvable sutures. Total procedure time is approximately 30 minutes.

What can I expect from my recovery?

Patients may return home shortly after their procedure. Postsurgical swelling can be managed by following Dr. Weber’s recovery instructions. Pain medications may be used if patients feel any discomfort or pain after the local anesthesia wears off. Over the course of 5-7-days, swelling decreases and patients are able to return to work and normal day-to-day activities. The first postoperative appointment occurs five days after the procedure.

Are there risks associated with the procedure?

What should I expect after my procedure?

How can I maximize my results?

Will my results look natural?

Dr. Weber’s patients receive natural results that perfectly blend with their attractive facial features. One of the key measures Dr. Weber takes to provide such results is making sure the lower lip is slightly larger than the upper. This gives a balanced look and reduces the possibility of the lips not looking natural.

Is the procedure painful?

Will I be able to feel the implants in my lips?

Will kissing be different after my procedure? Will speech be affected?

Will I have a noticeable scar after my procedure?

The incisions used to perform the procedure are very small. They are placed in the corners of the mouth within the red lip tissue. It is rare for this part of the lip to heal with any visible scarring. Special sutures are used to close incisions. Stitches will dissolve on their own or will be taken out by Dr. Weber at the first postoperative appointment. A noticeable scar will not form.

Do I need to stop smoking to have my procedure?

Smoking affects the body’s healing processes and increases the risk of infection. Thus, patients who smoke will be asked to stop two weeks before and after their procedure.

Excessive drinking out of a straw can have the same effect and should be avoided.
