After the procedure my right upper lip are bigger, more swollen than left. When i touch the left i feel its flat, no pain, no swelling while touching the right its lumpy, a little pain and feel fat inside. Seem like doctor has forgotten to inject the left. Doctor say its just different swelling. Im really worried abt the shape and the balance of my upper lips. Is this normal to have a side which is more swollen and feel completely different to the other side?

Answer: Unevenness with Fat Transfer Thank you for your question and sharing your photo. This is common after fat transfer. It is important to remember there will be swelling as well that can appear to be uneven. I would recommend giving it sometime then follow up with your plastic surgeon if there is still unevenness.

Answer: Fat transfer and uneven swelling. Thank you for your question. It is completely normal to have unevenness between two sides after fat transfer due to swelling. The photo is from immediately after the procedure so I assume you are still in the early stages of recovery. We can only asses the possibility of asymmetry once the swelling goes down. Please be patient for a couple of weeks or so, and then re-evaluate. Lips tend to swell up a lot so, this is a very common thing when dealing with lip augmentation. Best of Luck,Dr. Miguel Mota
