Is it safe to get a lip fat transfer if I previously had silicone removed?

Question

Hello, I need to know if it's safe to get fat injected on lips that had previously silicone removed but there might still be some remainings. Or to inject on the face if I had a permanent filler injected before. Is there any risk that the live fat cells can wake up any dormant bacteria on the silicone and get an infection? Thank you.

No photos? I think nano fat grafts will be safe but there are never any guarantees. Best to virtual consult with… Fee $3,000

Fat transfer unlike fillers is unpredictable, imprecise and more unforgiving.
Each provider will have their own perspective and without even seeing pictures we can’t begin to make an assessment.
Fillers are far superior for areas like the lips so when situations are unusual or challenging it’s far better to work with the most consistent and predictable treatment which is going to be fillers every time.
Best,
