I'm wondering what are the safest areas in the body to do liposuction with less possible complications? I'm interested in breast fat transfer. Is inner thighs considered a good option? Is it possible to have hip dents if too fat is taking from outer thighs?
Answer: Fat transfer Dear maryoma7, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, abdomen,, back, flanks, inner thighs are good donor sites. 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.

Answer: The Best Donor Areas for Fat Transfer Hi, Thank you for your question. The areas that the surgeon will choose for the harvesting of the fat for Fat Injection To The Breasts depend on the availability of the fat and also the preference of the doctor and the patient. Overall, for females, the thighs can be a good donor area. However, the inner thighs are one of the most sensitive areas for liposuction and you should be warned that if the skin elasticity is diminished this can create laxity of the skin which then would have to be addressed with further surgical or non-surgical treatments.

Answer: Donor Site Defects What's most important when considering fat transfer is considering the doctor doing it. Most people pick the surgeon with the nicest results from the fat transfer without ever scrutinizing the liposuction quality. There are no 'safe' areas for harvesting fat; they all have potential for defects, so surgeon skill and experience with liposuction is essential. In addition, you should know that fat grafting will yield a different result than an implant.

Answer: What are the safe areas for liposuction/breast fat transfer In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred donor sites but fat from other areas can be used. Thinner patients are outstanding candidates in my opinion, because the fat transferred is extremely resistant. The fat must be injected through multiple planes in small amounts to the tissue through one tiny incision under each breast. About 50% of the fat obtains permanence.
