Second fat transfer lips. When does the fat settle in the lips?

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.
