Fat Transfer from Thighs to Legs and Buttocks?

Question

My thighs are fat compared to my tiny legs, and I have flat buttocks too. Can fat be taken from my thighs and injected into the desired areas, or is there any other procedure for my legs that you can suggest other than cosmetic surgery?

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

It is technically possible to transfer your own fat to anywhere else on your body.  However, you really need to consider the benefits versus the possible outcomes.  For areas like the cheeks or the breast or the buttocks, fat transfer works great.  For areas where the skin is thinner or there is constant movement (the legs) the outcomes can be less predictable.  Just make sure that you are seeing a plastic surgeon with good experience in fat transfer.

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

The best way to achieve a celebrity-like butt and hips is a Brazilian Butt Lift. A Brazilian Butt Lift is a procedure where excess fat is liposuctioned from different parts of the body and moved to the buttocks. This reshapes and adds volume to the butt while keeping a natural look. Final results are permanent and generally seen about 6 months after the procedure.

Although fat injection to the buttocks is an widely accepted and performed procedure, fat injection to the legs is less accepted and not commonly performed.
This is for several reasons: blood supply, edema, minimal subcutaneous tissue, circumferential and longitudinal anantomy, etc.
You may want to contact several plastic surgeons and inquire if there is any individual with experience in this area.

Fat grafting to the legs and butt is an extremely powerful and effective technique. This is commonly called a Brazilian Butt lift. During this procedure, we perform liposuction throughout the body and then cleaning process this fat before transplanting it to the butt and legs. This procedure will help recontour this area and create an attractive and round appearance of the butt and fuller thighs.
