Considering permanent lip augmentation. I love the sound of a fat graft, and would like to find a PS in CA who does this. However, most Dr's appear to use the terms "fat transfer" and "fat graft" interchangeably. I'd guess the graft, in which harvested fat remains in tact (instead of being processed, clarified, injected etc.) would yield more predictable results and need less touch ups. Any thoughts on which is better, AND on how to go about finding doctors who differentiate - and do the graft?

Answer: Predictable lip augmentations The use of fat or dermal fat grafts all can augment the lip but the amount of tissue that remains is always the unpredictable part of the procedure. Some fat will always not become vascularized and subsequently fade away. I have since switched to a very soft silastic lip implant from Silmed that comes in three different lengths and thickness and this give me very predictable results that are long lasting and so far without any infections or extrusion problems. The best part of it is if you chose to remove or change it its is simple to remove and change. There is no need for touch-ups or secondary surgeries.
