Would having multiple dermis grafts increase the projection and volume of the lips?

I havehad lip filler in the past and happy with result however recently I’ve developed some kids of hypersensitivity. whenever I get injections my lips develop extreme swelling which is only resolved with steroid course. I’ve been considering a dermis graft to the lips for a permanent means of augmentation using my own tissueWhen looking at results online there seems to be limitations on the amount of volume you can get.can you get a second procedure to get more projection/volume?
