I was told by a doctor that they would not add fat to my hips because it will eventually result in saddlebags. Is this true?

Fat Transfer

Have a consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and consider the alternatives. This may be dependent on your existing fat and skin quality. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

Fat transfer to hips

Fat can survive in the hip region. The tissues are not a thick as those in the buttock, and you may not be able to have as much transferred in one procedure, but there is no reason why it will not work if performed by an experienced practitioner. Once it is transferred, it usually stays where is is placed and does not migrate to a lower position. Regards, Daniel Medalie, MD

Fat transfer for Hip Augmentation

Hi there- I have successfully performed transfer of fat to the hip area at the time of Brazilian Butt Lift on several occasions. While the area does not allow for the magnitude of augmentation that is possible in the buttock area, it is possible to achieve long term augmentation and fat survival with good technique.
