Im not sure if I'll be disappointed in the loss of cup size with a lift alone. Im also apprehensive about a fat transfer because I've done it in a past procedure, to add filler in my lips, and the fat did not disperse evenly.

Answer: Lift First You appear to have adequate volume to have a lift alone. Regardless, if more volume is desired, fat grafting is best as a second procedure and would require A LOT more fat than was necessary for your lips. This means it is mostly a liposuction surgery, with everything that is attendant to that surgery: significantly involving other body parts, and the need to care for those areas afterwards: compression, possible drainage, lymphatic massage, and the possibility of donor site defects.

Answer: Breast lift and fat transfers Mahalo for the photo. A lift would enhance your shape without much loss of volume, so the bra cup size would not be expected to change. If you desire more volume, cleavage, or upper pole fullness, fat transfer would be recommended, and this could be done at the same time as the lift, or later at a second stage. Your experience with fat transfer to the lips is not uncommon, and, I agree, not the best option for lip fullness. Seek consultation with other board certified plastic surgeons for more information before you decide.
