What Can Be Done to Restore Volume in my Lip?
I was inject with artifle in ONLY ONE side of my lip, I had it removed and now my upper right side corner of my lip is deflated with no volume, How can I PERMANENTLY restore my lip volume, what are my options, I am not really interested in have a foreign injection to my body any more as they are unpredictable with time, no implants either..I am contemplating about FAT injections but too many bad reviews, is there a procedure-reconstruct volume out there to bring my lip volume back? Thanks a millions

Correction on one sided lip defect
If it is only your upper right side corner that is the problem, a small procedure called a lip lift (with possible mucosal advancement) may help (would need to see pictures first). Since you have ruled out fillers, fat grafts may be the other option. They do work when done properly but may need a touch up.

Lip Implants are one of the nicest ways to restore permanent volume to your lips

Fat transfer is superior but requires expertise and attention...

Great question and you do have other options other than fat injections to the lips. Fat is a great option for the lips and should be injected in very small droplets under the lip line and in the red mucosa. It works but can be unreliable and may take repititive injections, but it can be permanent. Other options are a lip lift which entails an incision at the base of the nose which can shape and lift the upper lip. Dermal fat grafts which are more solid than micro fat injections, though I...
