Permanent Lip Implants California | Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery

Understanding Lip Implant Procedures in San Francisco

Lip implants offer a more permanent solution compared to traditional lip fillers. Unlike hyaluronic acid treatments that require repeated applications every 6-12 months, silicone-based lip implants provide long-lasting enhancement with precise customization.

Lip Implant Characteristics

• Constructed from medical-grade silicone "gummy bear" material
• Measured for individual patient's desired size and fullness
• Provides symmetrical lip enhancement
• Performed under local anesthesia

Procedure and Recovery Details

Patients may experience initial fullness and pressure following the lip implant procedure. The discomfort can be managed with moderate-strength pain medication. As surrounding muscles and skin adjust to the implant, pain gradually subsides.

Key Benefits of Lip Implants

Unlike temporary fillers, silicone lip implants offer a permanent solution for patients seeking consistent lip volume and definition. The specialized implants are designed to prevent leakage and maintain their structural integrity.

Safety and Durability

The implants are constructed from solid silicone, eliminating concerns about leakage or migration. Each implant is carefully sized and positioned to achieve natural-looking, symmetrical lip enhancement.
