title: Undesirable effect of cosmetic lip augmentation with autologous fat tissue.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Facial cosmetic procedures are commonplace nowadays, especially techniques that aim to increase lip volume. Full lips provide a youthful, healthy, feminine and sensual appearance. There are many techniques and materials used to recover the loss of contour that occurs with age.
  
  
  METHODS
  An unusual case of fat tissue accumulation following cosmetic upper lip augmentation in a 61 year-old female was reported. Surgical treatment was performed for esthetic concerns. Microscopically, the tissue removed was composed of muscle fibers and mature adipocytes.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Undesirable effects of esthetic treatment can occur and the clinician should be familiar with such complications to diagnose and manage them.
