Is it possible to transfer fat back into my legs to help contour my shape and irregularities?

L
lyss721May 21, 2023

I recently had a fat transfer to the breast but the doctor took too much fat from my thighs and removed most of the curvature that I had naturally. I also now have a banana roll under my buttock that is noticeable under tight clothes and shorts and dimpling on the back of the thighs. Is it possible to transfer fat back into my legs to help contour my shape and irregularities? I am 29 years old, female, no children, 5’3 135lbs and fair skin.

Thank you for your question and photos. The rippling you have is common after abdomen liposuction. Your bellybutton is attached to your abdominal wall and is a point of fixation. You have excess skin above your belly button. This can be improved by releasing your belly button so that it...

Thank you for your query. Based on your photographs, there appear “dents” where excessive liposuction has been done and other areas with residual fat pockets. Some micro-cannula liposuction with fat injections or a tummy tuck may help with improving contours. If enough skin laxity is the...

Thank you for your query! You do not seem to need a second round of liposuction based on your photographs. However, if you preferentially gain more weight in certain areas, you may consider a touch up in the future. Meanwhile, please continue to exercise and follow a reasonable diet plan. All...

I'm sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with the outcome of your surgery. However, based on my experience, I believe it's possible to address the issues you've described and improve the final result. Of course, an “in person” consultation is necessary. I hope this helps, best of luck !
