area of body least prone to fat fluctuations?

Postby miaou5 » Fri Aug 28, 2009 7:35 am

hello,

hope everything's going well! i've recently been thinking about getting fgs, but am a bit antsy about the fat growing over time. (as i'm not very old.) i know of some people who have had this problem, e.g., as a result of pregancy. is there a part of the body that is LESS prone to grow with weight gain/hormone fluctuations? some people have told me that pubic fat is fairly stable, but this is all hearsay. from what i've learned in college, i know that at least in females, butt and breast fat is DEFINITELY doomed to grow with increased estrogen. ty so much!

great question. i take fat from estrogen rich areas like the thighs and belly because they hold well over time and don't go away. safety first however as you pointed out. i am always worried when i do someone in her twenties for that reason. as we get past 30, i feel much better, and that increases with aging. i wish i could give you a safe answer. if you are in your early to mid twenties, you should probably do some fillers and wait until 30+ although i have done a few late 20s with very judicious and select fat placement.
best,
sml
