Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

It is difficult to determine from your photos what is cause to your concerns. Ron Hazani, MD

Dear smallBUTTbeasty,It appears that you have had fat loss from fat necrosis in your lateral thigh.  Revision fat transfer may help to correct the depressions.  The only thing that will make the revision less invasive is that it will address only that small area, presumably a smaller area than the first surgery.  The amount of work that needs to be done to release the scarring and fill with new fat may be extensive though.  Good luck!
