- Fat transfer is a surgical way to obtain the patient’s fat from a body part where it can be spared and get it injected into the patient’s lips. General anesthesia is essential for this kind of surgical procedure.
- Artecoll is not injected directly into the lips as the substance shows on the lip skin. The substance contains small microspheres which remain in our faces permanently called polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA.
