The lips are notorious for poor survival of transfered fat, there for it usually takes 2-3 fat transfer sessions to get a nice result. This may be due to the large amount of movement of the lips.
Some lucky people seem to maintain a good % of the fat that is transferred into the lips. More commonly, a large amount of the fat gets resorbed. This may be due to the large amount of movement and muscle contraction in the lips. If little or none of the fat stayed in the lip after the transfer, there is a good chance that subsequent transfers will not be much more successful.
Fat augmentation is an option for the lips but can be very difficult for it to take to be a permanent result.
One concern is how well the fat that was originally transferred lasted after the transfer. If a large %of the transferred fat was resorbed, you may want to try a different location the next time.

Chubby cheeks after fat grafting seven months postop is probably permanent at this time. I have been doing fat grafting for 35 years and what you see at six months is usually what is there. This can be revised with surgery and fat removal.
Fat transfer is same as fat grafting. Fat is taken from one part of the body (example belly or thighs) and injected into another site on the body (example face, hands, breasts, buttock).
