Do I need to dissolve all my lip filler to receive a surgical fat transfer to my lips? (Photo)

Philosophical999974
I've been getting lip filler for the last 8-9 years. They're never as full as I want them to be no matter how much I do. I've had probably 5ccs in the last year and as you can see, not much volume. My body seems to metabolize the filler very quickly and recently I noticed they're becoming bumpy. I'm tired of the filler life I really want a more permanent solution. My question is do I need to dissolve my filler before I do it and why is it not a more widely common procedure?
