Can Fat Be Transferred to the Outer Thighs? (photo)

Question

I have muscular legs and I need more fat surrounding my legs for them to look better. I would like my button have of my body to appear broader. P.S. I am an apple shape trying to achieve a smaller waist line, bigger hips, rounder butt, and thicker thighs.

It is quite possible to add volume fat tot the outer thighs and buttocks to help shape the lower body. Fat augmentation is a viable and popular procedure. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

While most patients request to have smaller thighs, it is possible to add fat to that area. Quite frankly, fat can be placed anywhere. Now whether or not that makes sense is entirely something else. You may want other areas contoured to create more balance. I recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a proper assessment.

Fat transfer to the outer thighs is a very uncommon request. In most cases improvement to the body-hip-thigh lines can be achieved by addressing the torso. You mention that you have an apple shape. By concentrating on improving the abdomen, flank, waistline, and back, either with exercise/diet or surgery, the contour line along your chest-flank-hips-thighs can improve, making your thigh shape/contour look better. If you are still considering a surgical option for improvement, I recommend consultations from several plastic surgeons in your local area to see if your goals are possible.
