Surgisil PermaLip™ Implant – A More Permanent Solution to Lip Augmentation
Cityklinikka Helsinki provides the Surgisil Permalip Implant, the latest in silicone lip augmentation, that has been featured e.g. on “The Doctor’s” show. Dr. Olli Teronen gives insights into the procedure and lip augmentation in general.
Generally speaking, lip augmentation is a performed to create fuller, plumper lips and meant to give the appearance of a more youthful face. Currently, the most common form of lip augmentation is by using an injectable dermal filler like Juvederm®, Restylane® of Hydryalix. All of these fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is a natural occurring substance found in the body. The problem with injectable fillers is that hyaluronic acid doesn’t last very long – usually about 6 months on average — while your body breaks down the substance naturally. Therefore, this is a great procedure for patients who have been using lip fillers for years but are interested in a more permanent solution.
Surgisil Permalip implants are made of soft silicone and come in various diameter sizes and lengths. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in about 30 minutes in our office.

PermaLip™ FAQ
How do I know which implant is the right size for me?
The Surgisil Permalip Implant™ is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate the uniqueness of your individual lip anatomy. During your consultation, Dr. Olli Teronen will measure each lip length and determine the most appropriate size for you. There are three separate diameter sizes (3mm, 4mm, and 5mm) and each implant comes in three separate lengths for a total of nine possible choices.
What if I want to have the implant removed?
Although the implant is designed to remain permanent, under personal circumstances, it may be removed should a person wish to return the lips to their original appearance.
What should I expect immediately post-operatively?
You should expect post-operative lip swelling, bruising, and tenderness with the majority of bruising and swelling resolving after the first week. Over the course of 7-10 days following the procedure, your lip swelling will resolve. Results are individualized.
Is the Surgisil Permalip procedure painful?
Dr. Teronen will perform the procedure using local anesthesia and facial nerve blocks. Acute discomfort usually resolves after the first 1-2 days with the use of prescribed pain medication, ice, and elevation.
When will I be able to see my results?
It may take several weeks to see your results. However, the operative site will be swollen for the first few days following the procedure. As the swelling subsides you will begin to see your final result. Results are individualized.
