What is Fat Transfer Lip Augmentation?
Long-Lasting Results
Lip augmentation is a great way to perk up your look without major surgery. The most popular lip enhancement method involves injecting hyaluronic-acid-based dermal fillers into the lips (popular brands include Juvederm, Restylane, RHA, and Belotero). Lip implants are another method, but they are not always the best choice for those needing a more tailored lip enhancement method.
For those seeking longer-lasting results, lip enhancement using fat transfer (also called fat grafting or fat injections) may be the best choice. In a fat transfer lip augmentation procedure, a small amount of fat is carefully liposuctioned from an area like the abdomen, flanks, or hips, purified, and injected into the lips. Our artistic finesse and advanced techniques promise results that reflect your aspirations for a beautiful boost in confidence.
Your Fat Transfer Procedure
Exceptional Attention to Detail
The fat transfer to the lips procedure is typically performed using local anesthesia, facilitating a faster recovery and return home. In the first step, liposuction is employed to collect fat from another area of the body via a narrow surgical cannula. You will decide where the donor fat will be harvested from during your pre-operative appointment. The collected fat is then purified and carefully injected into the lips using a fine needle. The injections are placed with meticulous attention to detail to enhance the volume, symmetry, and contours of your lips and achieve your vision for your results.
What Are the Benefits of Fat Transfer Lip Augmentation?
Naturally Lush & Lovely
Fat transfer to the lips provides one of the longest-lasting results of any lip augmentation method. Most patients enjoy enhanced lip shape and volume for up to five years, and in some people, it lasts even longer.
Natural-looking results. Because it uses your body’s own fat, the results look and feel very natural and come with minimal risk of allergic reaction.
Highly customizable. Fat injections are a highly customizable technique. Patients work alongside their Nazarian provider to define their goals for enhancing the size, shape, and contours of their lips.
Dual benefits. In addition to augmenting the lips, fat transfer removes a small amount of fat from another area of the body, providing a more sculpted contour in places like the abdomen, flanks, or hips.
Deciding on the best lip augmentation method depends on your preferences regarding the longevity of results, invasiveness of the procedure, and cost. Fat grafting lip augmentation is a more involved procedure than injectable hyaluronic acid lip fillers, but it provides significantly longer-lasting results. In this sense, fat transfer comes with a higher initial cost but may be less expensive in the long run than lip fillers that have to be touched up every several months.
Fat Transfer Lip Augmentation Recovery
A Proactive Approach
Dr. Nazarian and her team’s goal with every procedure is to make you as comfortable as conceivably possible. For most surgical procedures, she likes her patients to increase their protein intake both before and after surgery. She has found that this really helps to jump-start your recovery so that you heal faster. She does not recommend dieting either before or after surgery. Medical-grade arnica, bromelain, and Vitamin K should also be started one month before surgery. These are available in the office.
Following your procedure, it is normal to have soreness, swelling, and bruising in the lips and the area where liposuction was performed. These side effects usually resolve in one to two weeks. Most patients can return to desk jobs and other light activities within a few days, with a gradual return to more strenuous activities as swelling subsides. Dr. Nazarian and her team are available to answer any questions during this time. Your healing process will be monitored during your post-operative appointments, ensuring a smooth, well-supported recovery.
Fat Transfer to the Lips Results
Results are visible almost immediately after the procedure, though there will be some swelling and bruising initially. As the swelling subsides over the next few weeks, you will see your true results emerge. Your lips’ rejuvenated, plumper appearance looks very natural since it uses your own fat cells. The results can last for several years. Some fat reabsorption does occur, so it’s possible that you’ll need periodic touch-up treatments to maintain your lip volume over time. Fat transfer is an excellent way to improve your lip shape, size, and definition for a more youthful, alluring appearance that you can enjoy for years to come.

Fat injections offer long-lasting results with a natural look and feel. Having lip injections with dermal fillers is a less invasive procedure, but the results need to be touched up much more often than other approaches. Like fat injection, lip implants provide long-lasting results, but they are not suitable for every patient. At your consultation, your Nazarian aesthetic specialist will discuss the pros and cons of fat grafting, dermal fillers, and lip implants to help you select the best method to achieve a plump, youthful lip shape.
