Question

Should i do my lip blushing months before my lip fat transfer aug? Or should i wait until a year .I wan to do it before, but im thinking if my lips spread from the fat transfer, will the blushing look patchy?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Deciding on the timing of lip blushing in relation to a fat transfer augmentation is important for achieving the best aesthetic results. Here are some considerations to help guide your decision:

Timing Consideration: It may be beneficial to wait until after the lip fat transfer has fully healed before undergoing lip blushing. This is because the shape and size of your lips can change with the augmentation, which could potentially affect the appearance of the lip blushing.

Healing Process: Fat transfer can cause temporary swelling and changes in lip volume, and it may take several months for the final results to stabilize. Performing lip blushing before the lips have settled could lead to uneven or patchy coloration if the lips spread or change shape.

Consult with Professionals: Discuss your plans with both your cosmetic surgeon and a skilled lip blushing technician. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and help you plan the best sequence for your procedures.

Consider Long-Term Results: Waiting until the fat transfer results are stable will likely lead to a more predictable and satisfactory outcome for your lip blushing, as the artist can work with the final shape and size of your lips.

By considering these factors, you can make a more informed decision about the timing of your procedures to achieve the best possible results.
