Fat grafting to the face, also known as facial fat transfer or fat injection, is a procedure that involves transferring fat from one area of the body to the face to restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Fat grafting to the lips, specifically, refers to transferring fat to the lips to increase fullness and improve shape.
