Transform Your Lips with a Fat Transfer
Almost everyone wants perfectly shaped, full lips. While dermal fillers have been a go-to option for years, another option is quickly gaining traction in Menifee, Murrieta, and San Diego: laser liposuction and fat transfer.
A fat transfer, also called fat grafting, involves taking fat from one area (such as the abdomen, hips, love handles, or thighs) and injecting it into the lips. Medical aesthetics specialist Dr. Gloria Tumbaga can transform your lips in a way that looks natural.

What is lip augmentation?
Many factors can contribute to thin and uneven lips, including genetics, sun damage, and smoking habits. As we age, our skin makes less collagen and elastin, which are responsible for keeping our lips plump and firm. Unfortunately, this can lead to thin, wrinkled, or uneven lips.
So, what is lip augmentation? It's a cosmetic procedure that enhances the size and shape of the lips. This can be achieved through various methods, including dermal fillers, fat transfer, and even implants. Instead of using synthetic materials, however, Dr. Tumbaga can use your fat cells for natural-looking improvements in volume and lip shape.
How does a fat transfer work?
A fat transfer involves two main steps: harvesting and injecting. First, a small amount of fat is carefully removed from a donor area using gentle liposuction techniques. After being purified and processed, the fat is injected into the lips. Dr. Tumbaga will strategically place the fat to create a smooth end result. The process is safe, minimally invasive, and offers long-lasting outcomes in Temecula, CA.
Does laser lipo work for lip augmentation?
Many of our patients are eager to know — does laser lipo work for lip augmentation? When performed by a skilled professional like Dr. Tumbaga, it can be an effective method. During a consultation, we can assess your medical history, discuss your cosmetic goals, and form a custom treatment plan. Our team proudly offers the latest state-of-the-art technology during the process.
In addition to providing full lips and improving lip shape, laser lipo has many other benefits. It can remove stubborn fat pockets from unwanted areas and tighten the surrounding skin for a more contoured look. Plus, the procedure typically involves minimal downtime, making it a popular option for busy individuals.
Will I have enough fat for a fat transfer?
There's no need to worry about not having enough fat for a transfer. In fact, many of our patients have more than enough fat to achieve their desired results. During your first appointment, Dr. Tumbaga can evaluate the amount of fat available and determine if it's suitable for a transfer. We can also supplement with additional fat from donor tissue if needed.
