VeraFil is a new minimally invasive procedure to enhance and
plump lips. Restylane and Juvederma and Collagen related products
are the most commonly used injections for lip enhancement. These
products have limitations in their duration of effect and recurring
expense to maintain results especially in the lip area. Patients and
Plastic Surgeons have been searching for a longer lasting product
which also produced natural results. The VeraFil implant is a new
saline implant which is placed under local anesthesia to give
permanent results. This procedure is one of the most exciting
developments in Facial Aesthetic Surgery as it offers the Plastic
Surgeon and Patients an alternative to repeated lip injections of
the fillers mentioned above.

VeraFil is a unique technology which incorporates the best
properties of biocompatible materials to make a permanent implant
for the soft tissues of the lip. By using a unique membrane, the
saline is contained within the lip area and moves with the lips so
that the patient feels softness. This is a big advance of any
previous implant used for the lips according to Dr. James Newman,
who helped develop the implants and the minimally invasive
procedure.
Dr. James Newman is one of the few Plastic Surgeons in the world
to perform this procedure and has placed over 100 implants. He is
currently leading the FDA submission trial to establish the
longevity of the procedure. Dr. Newman has patients who have their
implants in place for over one year and are extremely pleased with
the results.
Below are patient examples of the before and after results of
patients receiving VeraFil Lip Implants.

Patient TL says
"This has been the best procedure for me, it has given me back my
lip volume I had when I was in my twenties. The best part is that I
do not have to come back for more lip injections. My lips are
perfectly smooth and without lumps or bumps!" |
