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.

Thanks for your question and the photos your provided. I do appreciate the asymmetry. I would have you consider filler/fat to the lower right lip to help achieve a better result rather than a reduction. Make sure you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.
Typically, the upper lip should be about 2/3 the size of the lower lip although that is not an absolute and personal preferences can affect your choices. A lip reduction or reduction cheiloplaslty is an outpatient procedure that can be done under local anesthesia or with sedation. The incisions...
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.
