Overnight my lips shriveled up. I'm in my mid twenties. I got juvaderm and it really helped but it's expensive and doesn't last. I got juvaderm 5 months ago. I'd like to invest in fat grafting my lips so it's perminant. One doctor said I should wait a long time, like a year, because filler leaves a white chalky residue in the lips that blocks vessels so the fat won't take. How long should I wait? Thank you!
Answer: How long to wait after lip fillers before starting fat grafting? How long to wait after lip fillers before starting fat grafting? I have done fat grafting for 35 years. If properly done I feel it is the best way to make lips permanently full. I have not had any complications such as lumps, irregularities etc. Look at the surgeons before and after pictures of one year results and seek a surgeon who does natural lip augmentation. Six months after your last injection is probably adequate but I would need to feel your lips to determine this.

Answer: Lip Fillers Such as Juvederm Volbella, Voluma, Restylane Silk - Losing Fullness After Injection -- Try Fat Or Implants There is no time between fillers and fat that you need to wait. PRP can also be added to enhance either. Best, DR. Emer.

Answer: That statement is ridiculous. First, Juvederm is absolutely the wrong filler to have in your lip as far as I am concerned. Smooth fillers are good for bad injectors. Folks who make lumps and bumps when they place fillers. Restyalne is my favorite filler for the lip. It is fussy to place but holds were it is placed. In contrast, so-called smooth fillers like Juvederm, Belotero, Restylane silk drift after placement. These product when they break down do not leave "white chalk residue" in the lips that block vessels so fat won't take. That is doctor 'splaining for I do not want to graft fat into your lips because I do not think you should have the service you are asking for. I would caution you about fat grafting. In reality it is an awful filler. It causes scar, lumps, bumps and when you gain weight, your lips get fatter. I have done so much surgery to remove fat and other things from lips. You live in LA and will have no problem finding someone to wreck you. I caution you about this and recommend you try to find a little more money in your budget for treatment that is less likely to harm you. Hyaluronic acid filler can at least be adjusted if you do not like the service.

Answer: Fat Grafting in Lips after Filler Thank you for your question. You will need to wait till your body reabsorbs the filler in 6-9 months in order to have fat grafting. This is because your injector will need to have your natural baseline to work with. If you do not want to wait for your body reabsorb the filler you can it dissolved with hyaluronidase. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Answer: Fat Grafting in Gips after Filler Thank you for your question. If you want to have fat grafting done, you should wait until the filler has been reabsorbed by your body. It typically takes 6-9 months for Juvederm to be reabsorbed. This is so the surgeon will have your natural baseline lip shape to work with. If you are in a hurry you can always have the filler dissolved with an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. Then after the swelling resolves you can go ahead with the fat grafting procedure. I recommend having a consultation with your injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
