If the fat is injected into the scar capsule can fat get a blood supply?

March 20, 2022
Asked By:silkshakes in England, United Kingdom

Lip fat transfer to replace permalip? I had permalip implants many years ago, which I'd now like to replace because they're too hard. There are softer options such as UltraSoft, and Advanta, but I cannot find any surgeons in the UK that offer this - So I am considering a fat transfer and understand the fat becomes permanent if it finds blood supply, but my question is, if the fat is injected into the scar capsule, where the permalip has been, does the scar tissue prevent the fat from getting the blood supply? Thank you!!

Jason Emer, MD says:

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
