Plastic Surgeon, Davis B. Nguyen, MD Offers Latest Advancement for Luscious Lips: PermaLip

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- For those who long for luscious lips like Angelina Jolie but are afraid lip enhancement surgery or fillers will result in the dreaded overdone "trout pout" often seen on many Hollywood celebrities,  Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon,  Davis B. Nguyen, MD is now offering patients the newest procedure for lip enhancement that is both permanent and practical.   This groundbreaking aesthetic innovation is called PermaLip.

Unlike traditional implants, PermaLip is made from a soft, solid silicone that does not rupture, deflate, or diminish over time.  Besides being gorgeous and kissable, the results are permanent but removable ."PermaLip is safe and effective, with none of the negative side effects associated with the earlier augmentation materials," explains Dr. Nguyen. The non-reactive silicone, which provides a flexible, malleable smooth surface, makes PermaLip resistant to tissue ingrowth which is often a major problem with other lip implants.

Prior techniques had the potential to cause disfiguring damage that required additional surgeries to correct; implants often caused scarring, which interfered with natural lip movement. Scarring also makes it difficult to remove the implant.  None of these issues exist with PermaLip.  The implant can be easily removed, replaced, or adjusted if needed, adding an important safety feature.  Another benefit is the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes less than thirty minutes, with minimal side effects such as minor bruising and swelling.

PermaLip is available in a variety of shapes and styles, allowing patients the option to choose the lips they want and the ones that will ideally suit their facial features. Fuller, plumper and symmetrical lips are easily achieved with PermaLip and is available for one or both lips.   The corner-to-corner placement of PermaLip results in full, natural looking lips that feel natural and kissable.  With no injection and no rejection, PermaLip is completely safe, provides aesthetically beautiful results and is cost effective.

"Popular injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid products only provide temporary results and depend on the skill of the injector," says Dr. Nguyen. "They also require repeat treatments to maintain the results.  Patients who are unhappy about having injections every six months to keep their lips full and pouty love PermaLip, because it eliminates the discomfort of injections and the results are permanent, immediate and naturally beautiful."

The cost for the one-time investment for PermaLip is a cost-effective alternative to injectable fillers, which can cost more than $800 every four to six months - that's more than $2400 per year and a staggering $10,000 for five-year maintenance.
