years ago a doctor unnecessarily took fat from my already thin legs for a bbl. They look like sticks now. No matter how hard I weight train my upper body gains weight and muscle as well and looks so disproportionate. It’s unfortunate because the doctor did not need to remove fat from inner thigh at all. My question is, can I get fat transferred to my inner thigh? Will that be a natural result? I’m 39 and athletic

Answer: Nhancing Inner Thighs: Achieving Natural Results with Fat Transfer Hello court81, I'm truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with your previous BBL procedure. It's understandable that you're seeking a more natural-looking result, especially considering the disproportionate appearance you've described. Fat transfer to the inner thighs can indeed provide a more balanced and proportionate appearance to the lower body. To achieve natural-looking results, your plastic surgeon will need to approach the procedure with precision and careful technique. One essential aspect is the use of a smaller cannula during the fat transfer process. This allows for more precise resection of the transferrable fat from the donor areas, minimizing the risk of overcorrection or irregularities. Additionally, your surgeon will need to inject the transferred fat from the deeper plane to the shallower plane within the inner thigh area. This technique helps ensure a smoother transition between the treated and untreated areas, resulting in a more natural contour. It's also important for your surgeon to slightly overfill the target area to account for the natural absorption of some of the transferred fat over time. By strategically planning the injection and accounting for potential fat loss, your surgeon can optimize the longevity and effectiveness of the results. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in fat transfer procedures. During your consultation, you can discuss your goals and concerns. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Fat If you are thin and athletic, you may not have much fat, if any, to transfer. Plus, if you are athletic, you may lose this fat fairly quickly. If you have loose skin, consider minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment like Renuvion to tighten the skin. Photos would have been very helpful.
