I routinely perform fat grafting to all areas of the face, including the lips. Fat grafting to the lips can provide a beautiful, natural looking and permanent result.

Most likely you have just prolonged your recovery with regards to bruising and swelling. There is not a clear answer as to the proper protocol for fat transfer. You should discuss this with your surgeon.
