Can you still get good results from fat transfer to hips with tight skin? (Photo)

October 3, 2022
Asked By:Deannamaraj

My main insecurity is my hip dips and is the main reason I'm getting a BBL. I've now booked my surgery for early next year and during my video consultation my surgeon said it looks like I had tight skin. Meaning 1. The fat will be under pressure which makes vein production slower so less fat survives in this area. 2. If there's not a lot of space between my skin and muscle he won't be able to inject as much fat. Is hoping for rounder / filled in hip dips a realistic expectation to have?
