Had lipo of my abs, flanks and back. Post surgery the dr told me that most of the tissue was fibrous & there wasn't much "good" fat. He put in about 175ccs in each butt cheek. I'm not unhappy, my primary goal was contouring however I would like a more round and prominiment butt.

I'm considering a 2nd lipo w/fat transfer using my arms, inner thighs and inner knees.

My Q's are A)Are these places viable for fat transfer?

B)Am I likely to have more fibrous tissue?

C)I'm petite, is it even worth it?

Liposuction, fat transfer

It is not uncommon for the flank area to be more fibous. If you are petite there may not be a lot of fat in those other locations for harvest.
