Can the fat migrate from where it was placed? Can you form a lot of scar tissue? Can it become lumpy? What about necrsosis? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks so much!
Answer: Fat Grafting to the Lips Fat transfer is a fantastic option for many areas of the body. It also looks great in the lips. However, since fat is designed to be a live graft that will last for many years, the blood supply to the fat is essential for a long life. When fat is placed into the lips, the active movement of talking, smiling and laughing makes it difficult for the blood supply to attach to the graft and then it fails or should I say it dissolves slowly over a 5-6 month period. For that type of duration - other fillers are just as viable alternative.The fat is also at greater risk of becoming lumpy in the lips as it dissolves.Good luck!
