Get Lasting Results with Fat Transfer Lip Augmentation

If you’re not pleased with what you see when you pucker up your lips or try to smile, you are not alone. Only the lucky few are naturally blessed with those full, luscious lips that turn heads everywhere they go.

Whether you have seen that plumpness disappear with aging as collagen production drops, or you simply don’t have the volume in your lips that you would like to see, you can have that pretty pout. Thanks to fat transfer for lip augmentation, you can have a cosmetic procedure that will give you natural, lasting results.

Understanding Fat Transfer

Fat transfer is a procedure intended for cosmetic enhancement in which fat is removed from one part of your body, purified, and injected into another part of your body.

The surgeon will take excess fat from areas such as your buttocks or your abdomen through liposuction.

After the purification process, it can be transferred into your lips by injection for a natural substance that comes from your body.

It will give you the fullness that you desire, and you don’t have as many risks as involved as you might with artificial, dermal fillers. Best of all, you can eliminate unwanted fat from another part of your body and expect the results to last.

What Should You Expect During a Fat Transfer Procedure

Your fat transfer procedure for lip augmentation will be performed as an outpatient surgery. The surgeon will be sure that a form of anesthetic or sedation is administered before beginning your procedure.

A small incision will be made in the area to be targeted for liposuction. The surgeon will insert a thin, hollow tube known as a cannula into the incision to remove excess fat.

Your incision will be closed, and the fat will go through a purification process.

The last stage is to have the fat injected into your lips to give you the plumpness that has been lacking. Before the surgeon begins to transfer fat to your lips by injection, topical anesthesia can be applied to keep you comfortable.

Is Lip Augmentation through Fat Transfer the Right Choice for You?

If your lips lack the fullness that you would like to see, fat transfer could be the alternative you are looking for to achieve lip augmentation.

The surgeon will evaluate your lips and health history to determine if there are any issues of concern. If you scar easily or develop sores on your mouth, the surgeon may make a recommendation for different alternatives.
