I am having fat grafting to the face for the 2nd time. The first time fats were taken from the love handles. I no longer have fat in that area and surgeon suggest taking from the thighs but I like my shapely legs and request to take from my arms which has abundance of stubborn fats.

The fats on my arm are very stubborn and never want to go away with diet and exercise
