Can you get fat transferred on inner thighs and all around the thigh during BBL?

Thank you for your question. Yes you can have this procedure done. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Respectfully,

Dear Hepburnn,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to transfer fat to inner thighs during BBL. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Must’ve my patients who have gluteal fat grafting have some fat grafted to the hip and thigh area. The amount and proportion depends on each individual persons body type. for those who have thin extremities and a large midsection or a “SpongeBob” type body adding volume to the thighs becomes more important.

There are two inherent limitations which is the amount of fat available for grafting and how much post tissue is in the area being grafted to support proper volumes of grafted fat. One way of thinking about this is in the percentage of fat that can be increased with grafting. if done correctly subcutaneous fat can be doubled in thickness with one session of fat transfer. attempting to do more than that often leads to an increase in graft loss.

In other words if the fat layer on your thigh is 1/2 inch then you can possibly create 1 inch if you have enough fat to work with under ideal circumstances.

Even if your thighs are thin we typically don’t graft on the inner thighs but it can be blended to wherever it’s needed.

When doing a BBL I typically don’t aim to simply create a large buttocks but instead viewed the procedure as a contouring procedure that creates an S curve that goes from the armpit to the knee.

I see other plastic surgeons who purposely Liposuction the thighs to create a larger buttocks which leaves patients sometimes looking unnatural and cartoonish.

From my perspective the goal is to create smooth sweeping curves.

Delivering consistent high-quality liposuction and fat transfer results is more difficult than most people believe. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of choosing the most experienced and talented providers for this procedure.

Both technical skill and aesthetic judgment varies greatly.

Choose providers after having multiple in person consultations. During consultations as providers to show their entire collection of before and after pictures including better results, average results and less than results. The goal is not to see the best three outcomes of their career but instead to see what average results look like and get some type of confirmation of how many of these procedures the surgeon has performed.

And experience provider should have no difficulty showing you 50 or more sets of before and after pictures of the procedure and area of interest.

I also recommend reading all reviews on various physician review websites and avoiding providedrs with any significant number of justified negative reviews.

The absence of justified negative reviews is more telling and more important than an abundance of positive reviews.
