I am going in for a revision Breast augmentation and a little Liposuction under my chin soon, and I'm would also like my lips augmentated. I was considering something like Juvederm, but since I'm going to be out, do you think it would be worth a fat transfer? Many reviews say a lot gets reabsorbed, but some of the results I have seen when its worked are gorgeous. I'm 27.

Answer: Fat transfer to lips: Worth it? Fat transfer to the lips is a good option, but to enhance the chances of the fat surviving in its new environment, stem cell assisted fat transfer may be the way to go.

Answer: Lip Augmentation with Fat Transfer? Fat transfer is a great treatment that can be used in a variety of ways. Fat has become a vital part of facial rejuvenation. I use fat in almost every facelift or eyelid surgery that I do because of the natural and youthful appearance that it can add to the results of your surgery. Lip augmentation has become very popular over the past few years. When lip augmentations are done correctly they can add a very youthful, attractive appearance to the face. One of the common complaints of lip injections is that they tend to go away faster then patients would like. Fat is a great alternative to fillers as it is going to last much longer. The benefit of the fat is that it is going to last for years to come rather than the six to nine months that the majority of fillers last. I would not say that they will replace fillers as fillers and fat all have their place. Fillers are a great start for patients so that they can get feel for the rejuvenation that they can expect from adding volume. Also fillers are a great quick fix as they can be done in the office in as little as ten minutes. Fat grafting give patients more options if they want a more long-term solution or I have many patients that like fat because it is natural and from their own body. I hope this helps, please consult your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Answer: Fat Transfers to the Lips Thank you for your question. Lip augmentation with fat transfers is a great procedure. The results are beautiful and natural. The techniques for fat transfers have evolved a lot over the last several years, and though some does get absorbed, the amount that remains is significantly better these days. If you have never had filler I would suggest trying that first and making sure you like the look. Juvaderm can easily be dissolved if you don't like the look. This is more common in someone starting with very small lips to begin with. If you end up loving it, then fat transfers are a great option in the right hands. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who offers both options. Good luck!
