Transfer from upper body to entire lower body?

Suzanne162Jun 1, 2017
Thanks for reading. I have an inverted triangle body shape, with broad shoulders, flat chest, narrow hips and skinny legs, 5'5 and weigh 150 pounds. I am searching for a doctor that will be able to transfer fat from my upper body (stomach, back, arms) to my entire lower body (ankles, calves, thighs, hips and bum). If possible, fat transfer to the breast would also be nice. Also, what may be the cost for this type of procedure?

Unfortunately, at 8 days out from surgery, your fat has not stabilized. You will continue to lose fat cells and swelling over the next few weeks. The earliest time period I'd feel comfortable having you critically analyze the results is approximately 6 weeks postoperatively.Hope this helps - Sam...

Ultimately this decision needs to be between you and your plastic surgeon.  If you were my patient I would have you wait 6- 8 weeks.  Certain hormonal changes in pregnancy can make complications more likely.Best of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Thanks so much for reaching out. It is  definitely way too early in the postoperative time to judge any of your results.  There is lots of swelling that cannot be evaluated properly.   Things typically look pretty weird for the first few weeks.  Make sure you were following your surgeons post...

Thanks so much for reaching out. I think that what you have brought up is a very good topic. I think it is important to identify your goals and what is needed to achieve them safely.   I know a lot of people travel to South America and other countries to have cheap plastic surgery. I do not t...

Thank you for your question. It depends on the surgeon you go to. I personally like my patients to wear garments for 3 to 6 months after surgery. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
