Lip Augmentation with Fat Transfer | Dr. Gary Motykie

Lip augmentation refers to any procedure aimed at altering the size, symmetry, and shape of your lips. Among the numerous permanent and temporary lip enhancement options, lip augmentation with fat transfer remains one of the most popular techniques due to its consistent ability to deliver successful and lasting results.

Benefits of Lip Augmentation with Fat Transfer

Lip augmentation with fat transfer has proven to be a safe and effective option for:

  • Perfecting the shape of the lips
  • Boosting lip volume for patients dissatisfied with thin, small, flat, underdeveloped, drooping, or loose lips
  • Improving the appearance of aging lips, addressing wrinkles and fine lines around the lip border or on the lip surface
  • Correcting sagging or drooping lips caused by smoking, gravity, environmental damage, and/or age
  • Restoring a more youthful lip shape, definition, fullness, and smoothness

Given the delicate nature of the lips, achieving optimal results while avoiding complications such as lip asymmetry or over-filling ("duck lips") requires the experience and skillset of a talented plastic surgeon like Dr. Gary Motykie.

Lip Augmentation with Fat Transfer Procedure

Lip augmentation with fat transfer involves augmenting the volume of the lips through the careful injection of fat harvested from a donor site on the patient’s own body (e.g., abdomen, thighs, or buttocks). Since the injections use the patient’s own tissue, the risk of rejection is negligible, and the chances of successful, permanent integration are very high. This technique is highly customizable, allowing the practitioner to inject the precise amount of fat needed to achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Although technically a surgical procedure, lip augmentation with fat transfer:

  • Is minimally invasive
  • Can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia
  • Is associated with minor (if any) discomfort
  • Requires a recovery period of just a few days
  • Produces immediate results

Your Nursing Career and the Skill of Writing - William Kabutu

When we think of the skills that make a nurse a nurse, writing is not the first one that may come to mind. PICC lines, wound care, ventilators, IVs, and physical assessment are the kinds of things we think of, but the power of the pen, as it were, is definitely not in the running (except, of course, for basic nursing documentation). However, I'll posit that writing is a skill that can serve your nursing career in both mundane and powerful ways throughout the years. What's your level of skill as a writer, and do you want to improve?   Career Development 101 In terms of career development and management, being able to articulate your skills, professionalism, knowledge, and expertise in written form is crucial.
