Is fat grafting to lips permanent?

Fat grafting, especially into the lips, does have some unpredictability which translates into the need for multiple sessions. Usually 3 sessions will achieve a lasting result with your own, living fat.  If you expect to get a nice permanent lip augmentation after one session of fat grafting, you will be disappointed.  So PLAN on getting 3 (on average) sessions.  Trying to do it in one or two session is tempting fate by stuffing too much fat into the lips at one time.  This could cause excessive bruising and swelling at best. At worst, it could cause lumpy fat necrosis or giant ridiculous lips if an unexpected amount actually survived!

Hello Michelle MM W,Fat grafting involves harvesting fat from one part of the body and injecting it in another part of the body.  There are different techniques used with some using small (nano) fat and others more structural components.  These can be combined with other products like PRP.  As far as the longevity not all of the fat that will transfer will survive.  On average it ranges from 30-70% graft take rate.  What does end up taking does tend to be permanent. I hope this helps and good luck.
