I have a very small upper lip which I would like to augment. Is it common for men to have a fat transfer done very subtly? What does it cost? Is it permanent? If not, is there a permanent method? Can it be done with local anesthesia? Sort of stupid question, but where do they take the fat from? I always assumed it was the butt.
Answer: Lip Fat Versus Fillers -- Subtle Is good I suggest seeing a facial contouring expert who treats a lot of men. In my practice we often do a small amount of fat transfer and PRP and then touch up with fillers. It is best that you find someone who is conservative and does a lot of men and lips. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: A few questions about fat transfer to the lips (for a male) = Consider filler in stead #fb #fattransfer #filler #drmesa Fat transfer could be used to augment areas of the face including lips. However, to perform a "subtle" lip augmentation in men with fat transfer could be difficult and difficult to achieve.Fat transfer can be safely done under local anesthesia in both male and female patients. However, it is well known that fat could reabsorb about 50 to 90%. Therefore, overcorrection is usually recommended to achieve good volume augmentation once the fat that is going to be reabsorbed reabsorbs. Additionally, fat transfer surgery is associated with prolonged downtime due to swelling of the area there the fat is transplanted.Subtle lip augmentation in men could be achieved with over the counter fillers like Juvederm. This hyaluronic acid based filler can be injected into the lips in the office setting without the need of surgery. The downtime is usually minimal and the results could last up to a year. In my practice men seeking subtle lip augmentation prefer augmentation with fillers like Juvederm rather than fat transfer.Patients interested in subtle lip augmentation with either fat transfer or fillers like Juvederm should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in cosmetic procedure of the face.

Answer: Fat Grafts for Men Fat grafting works perfectly well for man. Fat is taken from any area of the body that is convenient. Fat grafting is usually slightly over grafted, but whatever remains after six months after fat grafting remains as a permanent fat graft.

Answer: Lip Augmentation I would recommend conservative lip augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid, like Juvederm plus to see if you like the look. Another option is fat transfer which is more permanent. It is done under local anesthesia and fat is usually taken from the lower abdomen or thighs. Studies show that at least 1/3 of transferred fat last forever. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, Good Luck

Answer: Fat transfer to lips Fat transfer to lips is a viable option. We have a technique to break down the fat into a very smooth paste so it is less viscous so it is more accurately placed with less clumping. In theory, it should increase the amount of fat staying behind, however, that needs to be determined by studies. We usually recommend fillers initially, however, since you have tried it already, fat is an option. Best of luck. Dr. Michael OmidiAn in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.
