I'm scheduled for lipo on my knees, anterior thigh and banana roll. To prevent worsened sagging from the banana roll lipo my board-certified surgeon suggested also removing a small amount of fat at the top-outer area of the buttocks (to contour) and then a fat injection at the top of the bum, in effect to "boost" and lift the bum. He likened this to how a balloon props up when it is inflated. Will this work? As FYI I'm 36, 5'6.5", 140 lbs, my BMI is 22.5, and I exercise 3-4 times per week.
