Why Fat Transfer Works Under Your Eyes But Fails in Your Lips

Fat transferred from other parts of your body like your lower back or thighs can be effectively used to restore volume within your face. But not all parts of the face react the same. Fat transfer is incredibly effective and durable under the eyes (lower blepharoplasty), but not so durable in the lips or nasolabial folds (the smile lines). In those areas, filler is a better choice.
