Lip fat transfer reversal options?

Question

I had a fat transfer where the surgeon put fat in my lower lip without my consent. He changed the shape of my bottom lip, making it bigger and more heart shape rather than bow shaped. He also bulked up my bottom lip. How do I remove this to go back to my natural shape and size? It’s been 6 months. I would like to know the most precise way to do so to get the best result, hopefully with minimal scarring. Thank you

Removing previously grafted fat is extremely difficult, and often not possible.
When fat is grafted into the subcutaneous fat layer, then we can sometimes do liposuction.
Liposuction cannot differentiate between native fat and grafted fat.
There is virtually no native fat in the Liposuction is not an option.
 if your surgeon truly did facial fat, transfer without consent, then you may be entitled to financial compensation because the surgeon operated without consent.
Perhaps you should talk to an attorney.
