  7. I HAD LIP FAT TRANSFER...

I had lip fat transfer that has migrated to philtrum. Can laser liposuction be used to get rid of the fat lumps in the philtrum?

Asked By:viking92 in Beverly Hills, CA

In 2012 I had fat transfers to my upper lip. Unfortunately over the years I realized I now have lumps of fat in my philtrum bordering my lips. I realize steroid shots are risky to get rid of them as it can cause thinning of skin and other tissues. Can laser liposuction be used to get rid of these fat lumps in the philtrum which make my philtrum contour look weird?

Does laser lipo really work?
David Hansen, MD says:

I would avoid all the gimmicky hypes about laser lipos etc.....They are the cheapest and most dissatisfying of all the liposuctions. To be fair , there probably is someone out there that had a decent result but I have yet to find him/her.
