Fat transfer to back of upper thighs to balance my BBL.

startlivingJul 17, 2017
Hello, just wanted to know if getting fat transfer to back of my upper thigh area (under buttocks) is OK and normal, to balance out my bbl. Although I am requesting for a SUBTLE bbl, my legs are very thin this area. It would only makes sense to me, as most bbl look so unnatural otherwise, (including the great Kim Kardashian's). I am requesting to have this procedure done in addition, but it is of some concern, as I seem to be in the minority. Please advise. Thanks.

Too early to judge on the final result. You are still at the healing stage. The area in your lower back will be still bruised and swollen and this will take 8-12 weeks to settle. Wear your garment and keep your follow up with your surgeon.You have to give your body at least 12 weeks to start...
