How Long for Swelling to Dissipate After Fat Transfer to Lips?

there are different reasons for swelling in the lip after fat injections. One is the normal swelling from the trauma of inserting the fat. The other is how your body responds to the fat . If the surgeon places the fat above the muscle or within the muscle creates a big difference in the amount of swelling. Although themajority of the swelling decreases in the first two to four weeks, It can take mroe than a few months for all of the swelling to go down.

Generally swelling will go away after a few weeks.  The longest can be up to a year.   Best of luck. Dr. Michael OmidiAn in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.

I see a significant decrease in swelling in the first week. Raraely I have to wait 2-3 weeks for swelling to subside. The longest is usually 4 weeks.
