Is it common to require a second treatment, 3 months later, of fat transfer for lip enhancement?

Asked By:Mfrost44 in Vancouver, BC

On Dec 8th I had fat transferred from my stomach to my upper lip. I paid $500 USD for the treatment. After the swelling was gone, I saw no change in the fullness of my lip. I asked the doctor that did the treatment if he could do a touch up. He told me its common that fat transfer doesn't work, and if I want it redone, I have to pay again. Is this normal?
