Can I Get a Fat Transfer to my Flank/love Handle Area Instead of Butt?

May 8, 2012
Asked By:Juliabars in Seattle, WA

I had a botched/unwanted external lipo procedure on my love handles two years ago that left me with a very rectangular, waist-less body. Is there a way that I can do a BBL-type of procedure to return to the body that God gave me - i.e. is it possible to take fat from my stomach and back and transfer it to the flank area successfully? And what is the fat survival rate with a procedure to such an area, especially after having it already been liposuctioned? Thank you!
