Does outer thigh/ "saddle bag" lipo produce good results, long term?

smorrow72
Recently got consult for fat grafting for breast augmentation and told that using the outer thigh/saddle bag area was NOT a good option due to being a generally bad place for tissue and potential for loose skin problems in outer thigh area, post lipo. I'm mid 40s and in pretty decent shape, with no skin damage in this area. I really want to get rid of the lifelong fat from this area, and see lots of other doctors use it..I'm confused. Is this area possible to use this area with good results?
