Permalip - a new alternative to collagen?
Permalip is a revolutionary new, permanent lip
implant that was introduced to the UK earlier this year and is
already proving a great success.
The 20-minute procedure, which produces
incredibly natural looking results, was performed on the first
three UK women in February by Roy Ng, consultant plastic surgeon at The London
Clinic. Made from soft, but solid silicone, and in a shape
corresponding to the dimensions of the lips, Permalip is being
tipped as the new alternative to injectable fillers.
Unlike injectable fillers, Permalip will not need to be replaced or
renewed at specific time intervals and, most importantly, it is
removable, should a patient wish to return to their original lip
appearance. It is put into place via two small incisions in the
corner of the mouth and the whole procedure can be carried out in
approximately 20 minutes.
Roy Ng comments: "What makes Permalip so attractive is that the
results can be more easily predicted than injectible fillers. The
implant is available in a variety of diameters and lengths to
accommodate the uniqueness of each person's lip characteristics and
so, from the outset, patients can feel reassured that they will
have very natural looking results."
