Achieve Plump, Beautiful Lips with Fat Transfer by Dr. Young

Most people agree that big, plump lips are an aesthetic goal. But not all of us are blessed with plump, pouty perfection. Fortunately, Northwest Face & Body offers a long-lasting, natural lip enhancement using your fat, known as fat transfer to the lips. Fat transfer is an excellent option if you’re looking for a more natural approach to lip enhancement.  

Dr. Young is one of the top providers of fat transfer to the lips and works with patients to create incredible results. He can help you find the perfect lip augmentation that meets your goals and needs.

Before & After

Types Of Lip Augmentation

There are many lip augmentations, all of which provide different benefits and aesthetics. Fat transfer to the lips is one of the most natural augmentations and provides beautiful plumpness to the lips. It’s a great solution for those who want bigger lips but aren’t interested in dermal fillers or implants. 

What is Fat Transfer to the Lips?

Fat transfer to the lips uses fat grafting to move fat from one area of the body to your lips. While dermal fillers provide plumper, enhanced lips, it’s not a long-term solution. Fat transfer is a long-term procedure that offers plumper, more youthful lips. It lasts five years or longer and provides a fuller, plumper aesthetic.  There’s little risk of allergic reactions or intense side effects (aside from swelling and bruising), and it offers a natural alternative for lip fillers. 

Why Choose Fat Transfer?

Fat grafting injections are a more permanent solution for plump lips. Fat transfer to the lips provides a stunning contour and a more natural look and feel. They last much longer than traditional fillers and are great for natural, feeling results. Fat transfer integrates seamlessly with the existing lip tissue, creating natural results. Dr. Young can help you achieve your lip goals through fat transfer to the lips.

Benefits of Fat Transfer to the Lips

There are many benefits to fat transfer to the lips, as it’s a natural lip enhancement that provides benefits such as:
  • Enhanced lip symmetry & contour
  • Natural-looking results
  • Restoress loss of volume due to aging
  • Lower risk of rejection
  • Long-lasting results
  • Sculpted, beautiful lips
  • More youthful appearance
  • Softer, natural feel (due to the fat integrating with the lip tissue)
  • Fast recovery

Possible Side Effects of Lip Augmentation

Lip enhancement is considered a safe and effective surgery, but it is still a cosmetic procedure. Any treatment has possible side effects, but patients can ensure a successful outcome using an experienced and trained cosmetic surgeon. Side effects of lip augmentation include:

  • Bruising
  • Swelling
  • Possible uneven results (rare)
  • Temporary numbness
  • Scarring
  • Fat loss in the lips
  • Discomfort around the injection site
You should also consider recovery and plan the procedure around a time when you can rest or take off work. By working with a renowned cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Young, you can minimize these risks and receive stunning results.

Some post-care instructions may include:
  • Rest for a full day after surgery
  • Avoid exercise for at least a week
  • Sleep with your head elevated
  • Use cold compressions to decrease swelling
