"I like to inject fat into thinning lips. While swelling is significant for 2 wks, my patients are generally healing from a facial rejuvenation procedure anyways. Resorption of the fat will continue until about 2 months. I also inject the naso-labial folds. Final results are often unpredictable, re-injections may be necessary."
