During BBL, is it possible to insert fat into the calves?

Question

My thighs are an okay size. I’m just afraid after lipo my butt will make it look like I have chicken legs and my skinny calves will stand out. Is there any way during the fat transfer that I can also transfer to my calves to achieve a more athletic look?

Dear Generous7284,
generally speaking, it is possible to transfer fat to calves. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hi and welcome to our forum!Lipoinjection into the calves is certainly possible if exercise alone has failed to bulk up the calf musculature. In order to determine your candidacy, you require an in-person evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Yes, fat can be transferred to the calves. As far as if you are a good candidate for this will be up to your PS. It is best to see a board certified PS to make sure you have enough fat to share with your calves when getting a BBL. Also, you can develop compartment syndrome if too much fat is injected to the calves, so do you homework - safety first.

Yes, it is possible to transfer fat to the claves. High definition VASER liposuction allows successful fat transfer to calves. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
