I want lipo and fat transfer, would like a rounder bigger butt. Dr, recommends lipo to thighs(inner,outer,banana roll) he said he never does more than 300cc of fat transfer because it would not survive. 1st concern-will lipo on thighs make my butt sag more than it does now? 2nd will 300cc fat make a difference? Worried don't want to look worse or accent cellulite saggy butt

Orbital fat is generally resistant to normal weight loss, but if you have had a significant amount of weight and are emaciated, orbital fat cells will also shrink. In this instant, weight gain will cause the cells to rebound and your orbital fat should recover to pre-weight loss levels.

Smoking constricts the existing blood vessel leading to less blood flow. This does not provide the best environment for transferred fat to survive. Earl Stephenson Jr, MD, DDS, DACS
