PERMALIP LIP IMPLANTS AT VILVA COSMETICS
PermaLip Lip Implants offer a permanent and natural-looking solution for lip enhancement. Unlike temporary dermal fillers, these implants are a long-lasting way to achieve fuller, more defined lips. Made of a soft, solid silicone, PermaLip implants are contoured to match the natural shape of the lips, providing a consistent and symmetrical result. At Vilva Cosmetics, we use this revolutionary implant to give our patients a beautiful, youthful pout without the need for repeated treatments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – PERMALIP LIP IMPLANTS
What are PermaLip Lip Implants?
PermaLip Lip Implants are soft, solid silicone implants specifically designed for long-term lip enhancement. They provide permanent volume and shape to the lips.
Who is a good candidate for this procedure?
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals who desire a permanent increase in lip volume and have realistic expectations. It is generally not recommended for those with very thin lips, as there may not be enough tissue to properly conceal the implant.
How is the procedure performed?
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia. Small incisions are made at the corners of the mouth. The surgeon creates a small tunnel within the lip, inserts the implant, and then closes the incisions with dissolvable or fine sutures. The process is quick, usually taking less than an hour.
How long is the recovery?
Initial swelling and bruising are common and will be most noticeable in the first few days. Most patients can return to work within 2-5 days. Swelling will gradually subside over several weeks, with the final results becoming visible in about 4-6 weeks.
Will the implants feel or look natural?
Yes, the implants are made from a soft, pliable silicone that feels like natural lip tissue. They are designed to conform to the lip’s natural shape and are generally undetectable to the touch and sight.
Is the procedure reversible?
Yes, one of the key benefits of PermaLip implants is that they can be easily removed by a surgeon should you ever wish to return to your original lip shape or desire a different size.
RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
What are the possible risks?
Risks include swelling, bruising, infection, implant shifting or extrusion, asymmetry, and temporary or permanent numbness. Our team at Vilva Cosmetics will discuss all potential risks and how to minimize them during your consultation.
AFTERCARE
What kind of diet should I follow after surgery?
You should follow a soft-food diet for the first few days to avoid putting pressure on your lips. Avoid hot, spicy, or salty foods, and do not use straws for at least one week, as the sucking motion can cause bleeding and swelling.
Pre-Operative Instructions – PermaLip Lip Implants
One Week Before Surgery
- Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications as directed by your surgeon.
- Avoid herbal supplements like ginseng, garlic, vitamin E, and fish oil.
- If you are a smoker, stop smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery to ensure proper healing.
- If you have a history of cold sores, you will be prescribed an anti-viral medication to start 72 hours prior to the procedure.
Day Before Surgery
- Rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash as instructed by your surgeon.
- Prepare a supply of soft foods and liquids for the first few days of recovery.
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight, unless instructed otherwise.
- Ensure any prescribed post-operative medications are filled and ready.
Morning of Surgery
- Do not apply any makeup, deodorant, or nail polish.
- Remove all jewelry, piercings, and contact lenses.

- Bring required paperwork and a photo ID.
- Wear comfortable, loose clothing and flat, slip-on shoes.
Medications & Lifestyle
- Continue prescribed chronic medications only if approved by your surgeon.
- Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before surgery.
- Inform your surgeon immediately if you feel ill (e.g., have a cold, flu, or fever).
Post-Operative Instructions – PermaLip Lip Implants
Wound Care & Hygiene
- Rinse your mouth with a prescribed mouthwash or saltwater solution after every meal for at least one week.
- Do not use straws or spit forcefully for at least one week, as this can dislodge the blood clots and cause bleeding.
- Avoid opening your mouth too wide for the first week to prevent stretching the incisions.
- Keep your lips moisturized with a product like Vaseline or Aquaphor.
Activity & Lifestyle
- Rest with your head elevated on pillows for the first few days to minimize swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 2-3 weeks.
- Stick to a soft-food diet for the first week, gradually reintroducing solid foods as you feel comfortable.
- Kissing should be avoided until your surgeon gives you the all-clear, typically around 2 weeks.
Medications & Pain
- Take your prescribed pain medication as directed. Over-the-counter pain relievers are often sufficient.
- Apply cold compresses to the outside of your lips for the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling and bruising. Do not apply ice directly to the skin.
- Contact your surgeon immediately if you experience a high fever, severe pain, or excessive bleeding.
Compression & Recovery
- Swelling is normal and will be most prominent in the first few days. Be patient, as the final results will become apparent as the swelling fully resolves.
- It's normal to feel some numbness or stiffness in the lips, which will typically resolve on its own.
- Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring your healing progress and ensuring the best possible outcome.
