Stick thin legs! Advancements in fat transfer to this area?

Question

What is the point of a Brazilian butt lift with skinny legs! I have had to hide my skinny legs for almost 30 years. I was bullied throughout school for them. Now, as a fully grown adult, I have little to no confidence. They are disproportionate to my larger upper body. Please help!

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question. Many people are unhappy with the size and shape of their calves to the extent that they may avoid wearing certain types of boots, or clothes that expose their lower legs. So don't feel alone! A calf implant augmentation with fat transfer can increase the size of your calves, eliminating the need to hide that part of your body. Having shapely calves that are proportioned to the rest of your body can result in greater freedom of clothing choices, increased self confidence, and a better overall body image. Because calf augmentation uses liposuction to transfer the fat, no incisions will be made. There will be no scarring. Fat is living tissue, so it will graft onto existing cells in your body. Most clients retain 50-70% of the fat from their calf augmentation procedure. If a greater enhancement is wanted, subsequent fat transfer procedures can be performed until the desired result is achieved. Results are usually permanent, and the fat will respond to weight loss and gain, like the rest of the fat on your body. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery.
  
 
  
Best of luck!
