Background: There is an abundance of recent studies on facial cosmetic surgery, but with little emphasis on lip rejuvenation. Surgical fillers are commonly used and sometimes in conjunction with lip lifts. Neither of these options addresses long term lip fullness. Objectives: The author presents the results of a long term study of Permafacial (Surgisil LLC, Plano, Texas) for lip augmentation. A previous study was presented on the use of these implants in conjunction with facelift surgery. The present study presents the results of the authors first fifty patients. Methods: In this study, the results of the authors first 100 implants are presented. These groups of patients were followed for up to two years. Implant migration, lip function, implant sensation and patient satisfaction are reviewed. Results: Few complications are reported. They include implant migration and revision, size adjustments and removals. No extrusions were seen in this patient study, and the patient satisfaction was high. Complications: There was a significant migration rate that was initially experienced. A modification in technique reduced this rate over the long term. The Permafacial implants are an effective new device to treat lip volume loss and aging.
