FAT AUGMENTATION TO LIPS
Thinner lips are a common masculine trait, and enhancing lip volume is often a key element of facial feminization. Dr. Toby G. Mayer, M.D., F.A.C.S., uses your own body fat to create soft, natural-looking fullness.
-
Why it's done: To achieve lips that appear fuller, softer, and more aligned with feminine facial features.
-
Procedure details: The lips are initially “over-corrected” with fat to anticipate the body’s natural absorption.
-
Healing process: Some swelling occurs early on (a temporary “Daffy Duck” look is normal).
-
Results: Most patients see long-lasting results. In rare cases, a follow-up touch-up may be needed after 6–12 months.
-
Natural outcome: Because the fat is your own, the final look feels supple and blends seamlessly with the rest of your facial features.

SOFT TISSUE
With age or facial structure, the nasolabial folds - lines from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth - can deepen and create an aged or masculine appearance.
-
Dr. Mayer’s approach: Soft tissue from your own body is used to form a long-lasting graft.
-
Goal: To reduce sagging, flatten deep folds, and restore youthful smoothness.
-
Result: A balanced, softened appearance that enhances feminine contours in the midface.
