Abstract

A lip implant formed from solid silicone is shaped to be received in the lip of a patient. The implant (70) comprises a middle portion (72) having either a substantially non uniform diameter, or regions (74) of non uniform diameter and regions of uniform diameter, and at the ends of the middle portion a pair of end portions that are tapered in diameter.

Description

The FIGURE is a perspective view of a lip implant showing our new design.
