Fat grafting is an effective method of maintaining a softer and fuller lip. But this surgical method is not absolutely free from risks or complications. Over fullness of the lips gives a comic touch to the look of the face. Some injections of the lips are aggressive and these can cause lumpiness while some result in ridges. Swelling of the lips can last for several days.
Some patients badly react to the different procedures of lip augmentation. Some injections contain animal byproducts. So the patients who suffer from allergic risks of this surgery should take some preventive measures before undergoing the treatment. Patients with severe hypertension, herpes simplex lesions, facial complications or nerve disorders had better to avoid lip augmentation.

You should not indulge in stressful or strenuous activities for two to three weeks. You may experience some minor complications such as stiffness, numbness, burning or prickling sensations. These will subside within a few weeks.
