Shapelier figure with fat transfer or butt implants?
I've been reading a lot about body fat transfers. I really want a curvier figure and was planning on butt implants with lipo on my stomach but would the body fat transfer be a better surgery for me? Would it make my legs thinner too? I think it would be a cheaper option than implants but what about the long term results?

Body fat transfers can help some patients achieve the figure of their dreams..other patients see better results from body implants. A plastic surgeon will be able to advise on which procedure would be recommended for you based upon your body shape. Why not send your photo directly to a plastic surgeon?

Basically fat in taken from one location and transferred to others: butt, hips, etc. If you do not have sufficent fat deposits, fat grafting won't help you much. Another thing to consider is the treatment of the harvested fat before it is reinjected. Proper treatment yields better results. Many patients who want a big change opt for implants along with fat grafting. It just depends on what you are starting with and what your desired results are. Proper placement of the implants is essential and you should look for a surgeon that uses the Brazilian intra-muscular technique for placement. I could ask my surgeon to look at your case if you'd
