Is Fat Grafting for Skinny Legs (Calves, Shins, Ankles) a Reasonable Option? (photo)

May 27, 2012
Asked By:Shwinnster in Missouri

Attached are my photos-I have extremely thin and skeletal legs, and i have a LOT of fat in my upper body. I have researched and found a doctor with extensive experience since 1996 performing fat transfer for calf augmentation. He claims fat can be placed anywhere in the lower leg, including shins/ankles, and the results are permanent. In fact, his representative told me she has never seen a patient of his in which the fat has dissolved. I just wanted some other opinions on these claims. Thanks.
