Does Fat Transfer (FAMI) Only Last a Month?

The lips are a little tricky in regards to fat transfer because of the variation in "take". The survival rate of the fat depends greatly on technique AND patient. In our experience, the survival is about 30% of the injected volume but can be as much as 50% or as little as 20%. We do not judge the final result earlier than 6 months after the treatment. Before that, reduction in the volume may still occur.
Having no improvement after only 1 month may be a sign for a rather conservative approach by your surgeon.

Hi Rio,
Fat grafting to the lips can be a permanent procedure when performed properly.  It is very technique dependent.  Sorry that your injections have not taken.  Good luck and be well.

The harvest, processing and injection of fat is surgeon dependent and hardly proprietary. If any of those steps are done in a way that decreses the survival of fat then you can get fat dissolution irrespective of the system. It is imprtant to find a board certified plastic surgeon that has experience and can show results rather than someone who has purchased  a new device with a sexy name.
