I have permanent lip implants but would like a fuller look. Is it safe to add fillers to the implants. I also have been doing a little research on Bellafill fillers for the parentheses around the mouth & chin area. I’m looking for a more permanent filler like Bellafill (up to 5yrs).
Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Lip fillers can be placed on top of a Permalip implant for greater fullness and Bellafill can also be used in the smile lines for a semi-permanent improvement. This should be done by a specialist with a lot of experience as there is no reversal agent.
Thank you for your question. Yes adding filler over an implant is possible and there are any options to achieve the results you are looking for. It would be best to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to come up with a plan to best fit your needs.
My recommendations for acne scars are a combination of various treatments. I like a series of microneedling treatments. Studies have shown that 3 treatments results in a 30% reduction in acne scars through collagen ingrowth. There is very little recovery, little risk in its a relatively low cost procedure. I also like doing filler injections but like the hyaluronic fillers for the more superficial scars. I tend to do either Juvederm or Restylane.
