How long does fat transfer to lips last?

While it is true that whatever fat gains a blood supply will be permanent, I do not recommend this procedure.  The amount of fat that "takes" is highly variable and unpredictable.  In addition, the contour may not be smooth.  This would be very difficult to correct.Instead, I would recommend the safety and reliability of Juvederm filler injection.  For a permanent result, silicone lip implants are a better choice.Hope that helps!

Good question, as a lot of confusion exists about this subject. For longer term results, fat transfer is your best option because research suggests that 1/3 of fat transferred becomes permanent. That percentage may be lower in the lips because of the constant motion of that part of the body. Juvederm is another option, but lasts only 2-4 months in the lips, making it expensive for a long term option.

It is hard to predict how long fat will last in the lips.  For some people the fat to the lips does not last as long as it does to other areas of the face.  This may be due to the large amount of movement in the area.  The same goes for the other fillers.  Some of the fat will always resorb.  What remains after a few months should last a long time.
