Asked By:Helllp in san francisco, ca

8 days ago I had fat transferred into my lips and I don't like it. I lost my signature smile and don't even look like myself. Is there something I can do to stop the fat from taking? I wish I never did the procedure. =( I just want to look like my old self again. I was told during my pre-op that 80% would stay. Is there something I can do to make that 30%? Oh and it's lumpy on one side... can I massage it to at the very least even it out?
