Are the thighs more prone to contour irregularities than other body parts? Which part of thighs are the least risky to lipo? I would like to get a breast fat transfer and this is the only area with sufficient fat. How much fat could be harvested?

Answer: LIPOSUCTION QUESTIONS Thank you for your question and photos. The thighs can be a good source for fat harvesting, especially when targeting areas like the inner and outer thighs. On average, 500–1000cc of fat (before purification) may be harvested from each thigh, depending on your individual anatomy and goals. While the thighs can be more prone to contour irregularities than some areas (due to skin elasticity and movement), careful technique by an experienced surgeon can help minimize these risks. Inner thighs tend to require more finesse, while outer thighs and banana roll areas may allow for slightly more aggressive fat removal. A consultation with a board-certified surgeon will give you a more accurate estimate of how much fat can be safely harvested and transferred.
