Fat transfer to lips during a BBL? Expected results?

Question

How would that work? Would another cosmetic doctor need to be hired? What can I expect as far as results?

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

Fat can be transferred to anywhere on the body. Lip augmentation requires very little volume and grafts are permanent (a blessing or curse depending upon outcome). Additionally, graft take rates in the face are relatively higher often exceeding 50%.With regards to your specific question, BBL can be combined with lip augmentation without difficulty. Expectations will depend upon how much fat is grafted and the technique employed. Fat should be used sparingly in the lip. Due to the high vascularity, special care should be taken to avoid intravascular injection and fat emboli.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

As a American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified plastic surgeon, I combine fat transfer procedures of all types.   By 6 weeks, you should see much of the final result, but it may take 3 to 6 months to realize a stable result.  In general, fat grafting has a permanence in the face of greater than 50%.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. Fat transfer to lips can be performed during the BBL safely. Most plastic surgeons are trained to do the lip augmentation with fat transfer. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello dear!!Thanks for the question. The plastic surgeon is prepared to do the fat transfer to lips and it is very normal and common to do it during the BBL. The results varies with every patient and doctor. Make sure you make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.Good luck :)

It is possible, and you can have great results! It is only about 4cc's of fat needed for the transfer. Keep in mind that for best results with a BBL, High Definition liposuction with VASER technology, as well as Puregraft fat transfer will give the highest yield of fat.
