My doctor recommended FT to lips. I would like to know the risks of this procedure. I have heard of deaths from lipo. Is the risk of death only if you are injecting the fat back into places with large veins - or can you actually die from just lipo itself ? I'm only 20, and don't want to die over my lips lol because I'm sure my parents would be heartbroken. Theyd have explaining to do to my relatives, and well, you get the picture. It's not worth the risk if death really is possible. Thoughts?
