Risks of using leg fat for fat transfer to breast procedure? (Photo)

June 16, 2023
Asked By:Phenomenal920183 in Seattle, Washington

I'm wondering about the likelihood of bumpy legs if using my legs as the donor lipo site for a fat transfer to breast procedure. I am 5'6", 130 lbs, 34AA (sz 2 pants). I don't have enough midsection fat to harvest, instead always gaining in my legs. I was told I'd need lipo from saddle bags, banana rolls and front of thighs to get enough, but one place turned me away bc of lumpiness risks from lipo from front and rear. Curious the real risks there?
