Hello,I’m 24, 161cm and 52 kg. I had a liposuction and fat grafting consultation and the doctor turned me down for both. She said I need to have lipolisis instead and for the fat transfer it can’t be done on my breast since I have implants and the needle can break the implant. Are any of this true? My BMI is 22 and since i have fat on my thighs knees and calves that I want to remove I don’t get why I can’t have lipo and the fat grafting I’ve seen people combining with implants all the time?
