FAT AUGMENTATION TO LIPS
Lack of fullness in the lips can be an inherited characteristic or a result of the aging process. And since men tend to have thinner lips than women, Dr. Mayer may recommend Fat Augmentation to the Lips. Fat Augmentation will make the lips look fuller and softer, and more inline with the desired feminine features.
At first, your lips are “over-corrected” with fat so that the body does not reabsorb your correction. You will have a little “Daffy Duck” look for a couple of weeks. The end result is very pleasing and very supple because it is your own body fat.
When performed correctly, the fat creates a tissue graft and for most patients, the results last for years. In some patients, the fat is gradually absorbed and the lips return to their original shape in 6 months to 1 year.
Some patients do need to return one year later for an additional procedure, but that is rare.
SOFT TISSUE
Creases that start at your nostrils and go down toward your mouth are the nasolabial folds. With aging, the nasolabial folds become deeper and more noticeable. This can cause an unattractive sagging appearance. Dr. Mayer utilizes soft tissue to form a tissue graft which lasts for years. This brings the fullness down and the depression down, making the area flat.
