You are very lucky you have not had problems from your silicone injections. Lumps, granulomas, draining infections, and other issues can result from silicone injections, and even worse ones from non-medical-grade silicone injections. Glad to hear you are one of the "lucky ones!" Fat grafting is theoretically possible, but you need to have healthy tissue surrounding the fat grafts for them to survive, so it really depends on how much and where the silicone was injected a decade ago. It is still there and will never go away. If your surgeon inadvertently infects the silicone with the fat injections, you will not only lose your fat grafts, but also start the problems in your silicone injections you have been so fortunate to avoid. Although I am not a big fan of solid silicone buttock implants (too high an infection risk IMHO), this may actually be a safer choice for you in this situation (if you really MUST go ahead with some sort of buttock enhancement again). Consider the ramifications carefully before proceeding! Best wishes!

Hello For now it is too soon to see how your final result will look like. You are still in the healing process, so I recommend to be patient, wear your compression garment and follow all other instructions given by your surgeon. If you're still worried don't hesitate to ask your doctor...
In general, I try to harvest fat from an area that has fat available that would be non-deforming to take, resists shrinking with weight loss, and is readily accessible with the patient lying on their back. Usually, lower belly is my first choice, with outer thighs being #2...
Hi there- Unfortunately, there are doctors and clinics in the world who believe it is ethical and moral to mislead people into thinking they have somehow captured magic in a bottle or that they are the only ones capable of a certain procedure or benefit- by giving their procedure a cute name...
