What Can I Do About Lump in Upper Lip After Fat Grafts?

See another Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and perhaps a surgical alternative is an option.  First an assessment with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, though. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

   Dear 7 cats,

      The two easiest solutions that i can think of are; 1) Steroid injections in the lip such as Kenalog, this will take away the lump and any residual swelling or lumps that you are unhappy with. 2) In my experience I've actually gone in with a syringe and canula and manually remove the fat, just like you had done with liposuction for your initial fat transfer.

     Because the Kenalog injections are less invasive you may consider doing this first and then thinking about manually extracting the fat.

At this particular time it is likely that this issue is permanent.  Depending on how severe it can be removed and improved from what you are experiencing currently and it may be able to be accomplished in the office setting.  Feel free to contact a board certified surgeon and entertain this idea.  At the least, you will receive a professional opinion and be able to make an informed decision of how you would like to proceed.

After one year it is permanent. See a BOARD CERTTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON.

Your only option is surgical removal, or accept it.

There are a few approaches to address an abnormal contour related to fat. Attempts can be made to extract the excess fat causing the deformity. A non-surgical approach involves the injection of a very small amount of steroid in hopes of dissolving the offending fat.
