How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

3rd round - 4 weeks healed
Whoops I messed it up. Decided to edit my after photos side by side my old ones and apparently you can't add new pictures to an existing update post. Here's the pictures mentioned from my last post.

3rd round - 4 weeks healed
This is my healed result from my third time with fat transplant. The results from my first and second times were not noticeable enough for me to be satisfied as most of my day died off. I knew fat is unpredictable especially in the lips where there is so much movement. We decided to try one more time.
Prior to this third round my doctor had been breaking my fat cells up into as small of pieces as she could (as is standard procedure, it minimizes your chances of getting lumps or uneven results). This time we decided to make the pieces slightly bigger since my desired results are pretty big, and she had no issues with lumping in her patients before the standard shifted to very very small pieces. I believe using the bigger pieces of fat this time helped me get more of a noticeable result.
I think I'm going to leave them alone at least for a few years since I'm pretty happy with how it turned out this time! They're definitely more voluminous.
Anyone thinking about having this done should really keep in mind that even with the best surgeon around and with everything done properly, fat cells are unpredictable in how they will take, if more or less will survive the transfer process. Therefore you will very possibly need a second, third, fourth or even fifth go of it if you want big lips and you're starting out with small ones. Be prepared to spend money and to be patient.

6 days
All my pain is gone, both at the harvest site and injection site. I'm still swollen but that's normal. Feeling a little nervous about my final result at ~4months, because I always love how they look when they're a little swollen! The next time I update this will be in a few months so I can show you what the final result of my second fat graft turns out to be.
