Fat transfer for calves not reliable? (Photo)

Question

This is the only procedure I've ever strongly desired. I have fat in the abdomen and hip area but I'm not sure if it is enough, it also fluctuates easily and I have not always maintained this much fat. so if I went through with a fat transfer, is there a very likely chance that would not be retained and may dissipate? I am really trying to find the alternative to calf implants, as I have read such high risks about these foreign objects in your legs. thank you for your help!

I have many patients i do this for every week. we contour one area and then transfer to calves, chest, shoulders, buttock.  It is not the same as an implant but give a good improvement.  Touch up fat injections or other fillers can be used to improve the area longer term if some of the fat doesn't last.  But I find that intramuscular injection does allow it to last more and using PRP increase viability and longevity. Best, Dr. Emer.

Fat transfer for calf augmentation can be effective if one is willing to accept a more modest result and the risk that some or none of the fat will take or last. Calf implants offers the only assured method of permanent calf size increase in a single surgery.
