This procedure not only increases lip fullness but also contours other body areas by removing excess fat. It’s increasingly popular for those seeking subtle, natural-looking improvements.
Initial Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a consultation with our qualified plastic surgeon. During this meeting, Dr. Saltz and our team will evaluate your suitability for the procedure and discuss what you hope to achieve.
Together, we will craft a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your expectations are clearly outlined and potentially met with the proposed treatment.
Harvesting Fat from the Donor Site
The next step involves selecting an appropriate donor site from which to harvest fat. Common areas include the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Here, fat is gently suctioned out using a technique that minimizes trauma to the fat cells, ensuring their viability for re-injection.
Local anesthesia is used, making this process as comfortable as possible while focusing on preserving the quality and integrity of the fat cells.
Preparing the Fat for Injection
Once harvested, the fat undergoes a meticulous purification process. This stage is critical as it separates the viable fat cells from impurities and excess fluids.
Only the highest quality fat cells are prepared for the next step, ensuring that each injection maximizes the potential for successful integration and lasting results.
The Injection Process
The prepared fat is then carefully injected into the lips. We will use precise techniques to ensure even distribution and symmetry, aiming for a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome. The goal here is to enhance lip volume subtly while respecting the natural architecture of your lips and face.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from fat transfer lip injections is relatively minimal compared to more invasive procedures. You can expect some swelling and bruising initially, but these typically subside within a few days. Following our aftercare instructions is vital for ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal results.
