Lip Implants

2



Thin lips can diminished an otherwise beautiful face.  These can have a significant impact on self-image and esteem. Lip implants permanently augment the lips avoiding repeated injectable treatments.  These are placed through small incisions on the inside corner of the mouth under local anesthesia with oral sedation.  Dr. Severinac uses two types of implants.  The Perma Facial Implant is a silicone implant which is soft and does not limit movement or puckering of the lips.

PTFE type implants which are more rigid and somewhat prevent puckering of the lips.  This implant is ideal in patients who have lines on the lip and are having these treated with dermabrasion.  The implant can be placed at the same time as the dermabrasion.  The idea is to help prevent return of these lines by reducing the puckering that causes them.

Fuller and more natural appearing lips, permanent with no more injections.
