Right now, there is not enough fat on my abdomen to graft, but there is plenty on my thighs. I have narrow hips, so I'd rather keep fat in that area to feminize me. Should I try to put on 5lbs so the fat an come from my abdomen? So that though time weight gain is distributed in a more hourglass form? Or is the graft so small that it will make no difference.
