WORTH IT$5,000
So after thinking about it, I've decided to get a consult for lip lift. Most of the fat transfer has left my top lip and the left side is lower than the right. It's also very noticeable when I talk. I'm not going with lip implants because I think it's too invasive and I'm afraid of having issues with it later.
I'm pleased that some of the fat transfer stayed in my lower lip, around my eyes, and some places around my face but it's difficult to say exactly where. I just think I do look better now other than my lips.

So after thinking about it for a while and seeing how much of the fat transfer is gone, I've decided to have a lip lift. I've also noticed that the left side of my top lip is droopy and smaller than the right side, as well as lower when I am talking. I chose not to do the lip implant because it seems too invasive and I'm afraid of having trouble with it in the future.
I am pleased that some of the fat transfer stayed in my lower lip, and around my eyes, and I think there is some on the contours of my face but it's difficult to tell exactly where. I think I do look better than I did before.

Just wanted to add this note: I had a consult with a new surgeon and she said fat transfers aren't good around lips because it's an area that has a lot of movement, so the fat tends not to stay there. I wish Dr. Ptak had told me that and I would have had lip lift instead of fat transfer, at least around my lips!

She said fat doesn't stay in an area where there is a lot of movement, and there is a lot of movement in the lip area! It stays better in the cheek, forehead, and chin areas.

Exactly! Since it’s like $2000 per area they should tell us that up front I would preferred to stay with fillers after all this

Would I have the facial fat transfer procedure again? Maybe, maybe not, but I’m still very happy with the results. I think it added volume to the entire structure of my face. Would I do the injections again? Probably not. I think l’ll have lip implants when I decide to do something more with my lips now.
