Are you looking to restore youthful volume to your lips with natural-looking, long-lasting results? At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, we specialize in Lip Dermal Fat Grafting, a procedure that enhances lip fullness using your body’s own fatty tissue. Led by Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, a dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Kalos is a trusted name in Atlanta for facial rejuvenation procedures tailored to your unique features.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
What is Lip Dermal Fat Grafting?
Full, plump lips are often seen as a symbol of youth and vitality. As we age, our lips naturally lose volume, becoming thinner and less defined. Lip dermal fat grafting is an ideal solution for patients seeking a more permanent, natural enhancement using their own tissue. Unlike synthetic fillers, fat grafting provides soft, natural texture and results that can last for years.
Benefits include:
- Natural look and feel
- Long-lasting results
- No synthetic materials
- Minimal risk of allergic reaction
Lip Enhancement Designed for Atlanta Patients
In a vibrant city like Atlanta, where appearance and self-confidence often play a role in personal and professional success, more people are turning to facial plastic surgery to refresh their image. A 2023 report from the Georgia Society of Plastic Surgery shows a 24% increase in facial cosmetic procedures in the Atlanta metro area, with lip augmentation being one of the most requested treatments.
At Kalos, we take the time to understand what’s motivating your interest in lip enhancement — whether it’s age-related volume loss, asymmetry, or simply a desire for a fuller, more balanced look. Dr. Stong tailors every treatment plan to your unique anatomy, facial proportions, and aesthetic goals.
How the Procedure Works
Lip dermal fat grafting involves harvesting a small strip of skin and underlying fat — typically from the lower abdomen or buttock crease — and strategically placing that tissue into the lips. Dr. Stong uses advanced microsurgical techniques to sculpt the lips, ensuring natural volume, balanced proportions, and smooth contours.
The procedure is performed in our fully accredited Atlanta surgical suite under local or general anesthesia. Most patients can return to light activity within a few days, with minimal swelling and bruising. Because the fat is your own tissue, the risk of rejection or allergic reaction is extremely low.
Comprehensive Care Beyond the Procedure
Navigating cosmetic procedures in a large market like Atlanta can feel overwhelming. With so many providers offering quick solutions, it’s essential to choose a practice with deep expertise and a proven track record. Kalos offers more than just technical proficiency — we provide a clear, supportive path from consultation to recovery and long-term maintenance.
We also offer a full range of facial plastic surgery and non-surgical rejuvenation services, which allows us to provide holistic care tailored to your overall facial harmony. Patients often choose to combine lip augmentation with facelifts, laser treatments, or eyelid surgery for a more comprehensive transformation.
