How is the filling of the lips done ?
The procedure of the lips can be done with our own fat or with hyaluronic acid. If the patient decides to perform infiltration with fat, it must be performed under local anesthesia in the area of minor surgery procedures. Only the fat necessary for the infiltration of the expression lines is extracted by liposuction. It is important to clarify that you only take a reduced amount of fat, only the necessary one, that is why a difference in the donor area would not be aesthetically evident, unless it is combined with a liposuction
If it is decided to perform the filling with hyaluronic acid, this is done in the office, since the hyaluronic acid is prepared to be injected into the lip.
