Subject-Reported Satisfaction After Cell-Enriched Lipotransfer (CELT) for Lip Augmentation.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLip augmentation is a highly demanded cosmetic procedure due to the association of full lips with youth, beauty, and sensuality. Among various techniques, autologous fat grafting, particularly with the cell-enriched lipotransfer (CELT) method, has emerged as a natural and long-lasting option. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which require regular touch-ups, CELT offers sustained volume retention and potentially higher patient satisfaction.
objectiveThis study aimed to assess patient satisfaction following lip augmentation using the CELT technique and compare it with traditional fat preparation methods, such as sedimentation and filtration. The study also sought to evaluate the influence of other variables, including gender, age, and fat injection volume, on satisfaction outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective chart review of patients who underwent lip augmentation with autologous fat grafting was conducted. Satisfaction was measured using the FACE-Q
resultsThe CELT method consistently produced higher satisfaction compared to sedimentation and filtration (p < 0.001 for all items). Patients treated with CELT reported greater improvements in the shape of the lips, fullness of the lower lip, and Cupid's bow. Gender and age were also significant factors, with males showing greater satisfaction in smile-related aspects, while females were more satisfied with the lip style. Older patients reported greater improvements in how well their lips suited their face, while higher injected volumes positively correlated with lip fullness and appearance.
conclusionThe CELT fat grafting technique significantly enhances patient satisfaction in lip augmentation compared to traditional fat preparation methods. CELT's higher fat retention and more natural results make it a superior option for lip augmentation. However, further studies incorporating objective volumetric measurements are needed to validate these findings.
