Leg fat injection is a surgical procedure in which excess fat is removed with liposuction and transferred to the deficient areas. Therefore, it must be performed under operating room conditions and anesthesia.

During the surgery, excess fat in the inner legs, especially in the knee areas, can be removed and used. First, the areas to be removed and transferred are marked. The fats are removed by entering the determined areas with liposuction cannulas. The removed fats are concentrated and injected into the desired areas in a way that provides symmetry.

How is Leg Fat Injection Performed?

Leg correction aesthetics is most commonly performed with fat injection. In order to increase the permanence of the fat injection, a combined aesthetic application with stem cells can also be performed. Thus, the permanence of the fat injection can be increased up to 70%.

With the Vaser liposuction technique, 2000 to 3000 cc of fat is removed from the patient's abdomen, waist or hip area in a single session. The removed fats are injected into the appropriate points of the patient's legs, providing symmetry of both legs.

The surgery is a scarless surgery. Only 0.3 mm incisions are made where liposuction cannulas can be inserted, and since these incisions are hidden between the folds, there is no scar after the surgery. Fat transfer to the required areas is done with thick-tipped injectors.

After the surgery, the patient is dressed in varicose vein stockings or a corset. This corset is both to prevent edema and to maintain the shape of the fat and prevent it from melting.

Who is Leg Fat Injection Recommended for?

Leg fat injection is recommended for people who want to correct volume loss or deformities in the legs. This procedure is ideal for those who have lost volume in the legs or want to improve their shape.

In addition, those who want to correct asymmetry in the legs or achieve a fuller appearance in certain areas may consider leg fat injection. However, candidates must be in good general health and be suitable candidates for the surgical procedure.
