Can a fat transfer in lip and columella be reversed? Would reversal lead to more desirable results from lip filler? (photos)

fiberrichOct 17, 2022
I had fat transfer to my lips where the doctor placed 3 cc in my upper and lower lips each. He also placed fat in the columns. I have had hyaluronic acid fillers in my lips three or four times since having this procedure. I am concerned that the fat transfer is interfering with having desirable results from a lip filler. I would like to remove the fat that was put into my columns and lips.

The only way to shorten your philtrum, is todo lip lift. This will require a scar underneath the nose, which may be very visible in your case? You should start with lip reduction, wait for 6 months plus until result matures and reevaluate your needs. Good luck.
