How long does fat transfer to lips last? How much would it cost? (Photos)

Question

right now i have 4 syringes of restylane in my lips ( desired results are a day after I get 4 syringes, which dissolves quite alot by the time it heals) and it last about 4-5 months. also how much would this procedure cost ( my injections right now cost around 2000CAD+tax). I attached one picture of my natural lips and a photo of my lips a day after in injections to get a better idea of how much fat I'll need

Fat augmentation of the lips vs. filler. You are correct. I have used fat augmentation of the lips for 40 years and it lasts forever after about a 50% loss by 3 months and then no more. The lips look and feel natural and I never had an infection or other complication that required another procedure.

So I honestly don't believe that Fat Transfer to the lips is the best procedure for you.  Fat is such a wonderful material and can be used so many places to augment breasts and buttocks, rejuvenate hands and genitalia, and enhance a woman's natural curvy figure.  But it is not my personal first choice in the lips where uneven absorption can be disastrous.  As an alternative, please consider Silikon 1000.  I have had so many happy patients over the past ten years that I have used it, using Silikon 1000 in the lips.  The results are amazing and of course are permanent.  Good luck!

koko98.    It sounds like far transfer for lip augmentation is an excellent option for you because you desire a larger amount of product and you also desire longer results. Studies have shown that at least 35 to 50 percent of fat transferred to the face stays permanently, but each patient reacts differently. Costs vary from city to city, but price range should be approximately $2000-$5000, all in.Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Fat can be transferred to the lips.  I generally believe that about 40-50% of the initial fat transfer that is done remains, and the volume that remains seems to act as a permanent filler.  Not everyone is a good candidate for fat transfer to the lips, so I recommend a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that is experienced in fat transfer to the lips as the best option for you.WirthPlasticSurgery.com
