SoftForm Facial Implant
Now there is a safe, effective, and promising new treatment for the enhancement of thin or flattened lips and the improvement of facial creases and furrows resulting from the aging process. SoftForm facial implant is a soft, tube-shaped implant made of a biocompatible polymer called ePTFE. This material has been safely used for more than 20 years in a variety of medical applications including blood vessel replacement and hernia repair. Placing this permanent implant beneath the skin can enhance and define the lips. Or, it can be used to plump and correct furrows such as nasolabial folds (creases between the nose and the corners of the mouth) or "marionette" lines (creases from the corners of the mouth).
The SoftForm implant procedure is performed in a simple in-office procedure done under local anesthetic. The implant is inserted beneath the skin via two tiny incisions. The procedure usually takes about 45 minutes. You may experience some swelling or bruising which lasts for a few days to a week following treatment. A stitch is placed at each incision site and is removed 3-5 days later. Many patients return to normal activities a day or two after treatment. By five to seven days after the implantation, most of the swelling will have subsided.
SoftForm facial implant provides lip fullness and definition by providing structure and support underneath the skin. It may help minimize some fine vertical creasing around the lip as well. The implant provides a very natural and long lasting result because it is not absorbed or broken down by the body over time. The tubular shape of the implant allows for tissue ingrowth which helps stabilize the implant in place. The risk of infection or extrusion is very small.
SoftForm lip implants provide a persistent yet removable facial implant that can be inserted in a simple office procedure to produce fullness and definition of the lips and help turn back the clock on signs of aging.
