Lip Fat Transfer Was Not Worth It

Not Worth It
Spent: $1,000 in Philippines

I chose a fat transfer because it was said to be a long lasting filler compared to Hylaraunic acid and My doctor's technique FAMI - is supposed to last longer.

The doctor took the fats from my belly and then transferred it to my lips. It looked so nice on the first week but after a month it completely vanished. The before and after looks the same.

I had my touch up after a month. it looked great again and then again it looks like my body absorbs the fat so quickly. I'll probably get anoother touch up after 3 months.

I'm thinking I should have chosen lip implants instead. This might have given me permanent plump lips. The process of fat transfer isnt that easy.

I had it done and some stayed permanently. Supposed have about 30% remain forever. Your surgeon may not have been spinning the fat after it sucked it out. Gotta spin it to take the dead fat out and inject just live fat.
