Can my Lip Fat Transfer Be Removed or Reduced?

January 10, 2011
Asked By:nowhere8219 in nowhere

I had a lip fat transfer 6 months ago, which I regret. Apart from taking on an overstuffed appearance, there are lumps/individual deposits of fat which I can feel, and my top lip feels sore and tender when I 'squeeze' or press gently, even 6mos later. One side is wider than the other & my lip shape isn't nice like it used to be, with fat spilling over the top line. Why does it hurt 6mos later - is there any way I can get rid of the fat? What are my options for removal - would injections work?
