Having beautiful lips makes women appear more delicate and graceful, exuding a classical beauty. Plump lips give a very soft and gentle appearance. However, some women are naturally born with thinner lips. In such cases, they often seek methods to make their lips fuller. Among these, autologous fat injection is a commonly used technique. The fat used in this procedure is extracted from the patient's own body. After extraction, the fat is then injected into the patient's lips.This technique is currently popular in many hospitals.
So, how effective is lip augmentation using one's own fat?
Autologous fat injection for lip augmentation is primarily suited for individuals dissatisfied with their lip shape, offering a way to alter lip contours. The entire fat injection process takes about half an hour. After the first injection, approximately 50% of the results will be absorbed. Generally, two injections are sufficient to achieve a beautiful lip shape, eliminating the need for repeated injections.
Using one's own body fat for lip injections yields better results than collagen fillers. Multiple sessions can be performed to gradually enhance the lips with fat, infusing them with nutrients. Each injection should not be excessive, as overfilling may cause fat cells to die, severely compromising the final outcome. While some may perceive fat injections as cumbersome, the results—sensual, full lips—become visible within two weeks. The procedure does not disrupt normal work or daily life, and the appearance is remarkably natural.
Lip augmentation with fat does not trigger immune rejection, disrupt endocrine balance, or damage lip tissue. Patients can eat and speak normally immediately after the procedure without adverse effects. Fat grafted into the lips feels remarkably natural, as if it were always there.Fat injection is widely accepted by many beauty seekers. Using one's own fat for lip augmentation takes only about twenty minutes. The survival rate of a single injection is approximately fifty percent, and the ideal lip shape is typically achieved after two to three injections.
What are common lip augmentation methods?
Partial Injection Lip Augmentation
This localized injection technique offers a relatively simple and quick lip enhancement. It uses lip fillers closely resembling human fat, typically collagen or hyaluronic acid. The procedure is characterized by its short duration.
Surgical Lip Augmentation
This surgical technique involves making incisions to reposition and secure the inner lip tissue outward, thereby enhancing the visible lip thickness.
