I’d also like to know what are the prices for fat transfer to the lips? I will get a BBL some day as well but might start with just the lips. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE !
Answer: Fat grafting to lips I would suggest that you not go directly to fat transfer. A good option, rather, would be a commercial filler such as Juvederm. This would give you an opportunity to participate in the decision process as the filler is injected. You can then determine if you like what you see and then consider something perhaps more permanent such as fat. Caution should be exercised with fat placement in the lips at a young age. Remember, fat that's placed in the lips can enlarge with weight gain just like with fat anywhere else in your body. A potential troublesome scenario could be even temporary weight gain with pregnancy.

Answer: Fat transfer results for lip augmentation--water-assisted harvesting, prp Yes, fat transfer technique is what is important for successful fat transfer. I recommend water-assisted fat harvesting which gives pure fat to transfer and combine with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to get the most viable and sustainable fat cells. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Lip augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. I recommend a filler such as juvederm for lip augmentation rather than fat transfer. Fillers are safer for the lips and can have a more natural look. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
