Would fat transfers widen my hip and deliver a more feminine look? MTF (photos)

You can certainly have fat transfer procedures done. In order to have an overall successful experience that leads in an overall positive outcome it’s important to recognize inherit limitations in the procedure, and it is especially important to select as efficiently, talented and experience provider.
The primary limitations in your case are limited amounts of fat that can be harvested and also that the areas you’re looking to augment are inherently thin limiting the amount of host tissue available to support grafted fat. A shortage of host tissue can’t to some degree be compensated for by having multiple rounds of fat transfer on individuals who have sufficient amounts of fat the harvest. Gaining weight for the purpose of fat transfer is not recommended. In your case, weight gain will give you a larger abdomen with increased visceral fat component.
You could harvest the subcutaneous fat, available and graft that. The result will be subtle, but in the right direction.
Defined the road provider I suggest having multiple in person, consultations with local, board-certified plastic surgeons, who have a proven track record with fat transfer procedures.
During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients with similar body characteristics to your own.
When reviewing fat transfer results, always make sure you know the timing of when after pictures were taken. Early fat transfer results can look very impressed if I do not in any way represent final results.
It takes 3 to 6 months before final results are obtained, and patients should be aware that some providers may be tempted to show early results in order to differentiate themselves among the competition.
An experience plastic surgeon should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patients.Best,
