I am having fat grafting to the lines around my mouth. What limitations are there in recovery?

Thank you for your question.Frist of all, you should continue your asthma medication.In my experience, fat grafting to lines around the mouth tends to get absorbed much readily with less than great result. A combination of HA and Ablative Laser treatment such as Sciton Profractional Laser treatment around peri-oral area gives you great results. however, if you are getting liposuction done or having other part of your face rejuvenated with fat transfer than it's not a bad idea to treat peri-oral lines. Best of Luck.

You need to keep using your inhalers.  Are you having fat in other areas too?  Fat injections into the mouth lines are tough.  It is easier to fill in small lines with the HA fillers.  Fat in this area can be lumpy, or can create an overcorrection.  The large amount of movement here may also make it resorb quickly.  Did you discuss laser with your doctor?  MIght be a good option  

Generally, there are few limitations, but best to discuss with the surgeon who is doing the procedure. 

Please check with your surgeon as well as your primary care doctor or allergist.While limiting movement in the areas treated is generally a good idea after fat transfer, we have to use our mouths. If you were my patient, I would recommend continuing your medications. Just be gentle.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
