Can I get fat injected into my legs?

I am a 38 year old female. I want to know if I can get fat injected into my legs?

That can be injected almost anywhere, but the amounts vary widely for many reasons. Fat survival is best when small amounts are used in very vascular areas like the face. I assume, from your question, that you would like to “fatten” your legs. That would require a lot of fat and that needs to come from elsewhere on your body. Also, fat is a notoriously unreliable tissue to graft and getting an even distribution with even fat survival is probably unrealistic. So, the short answer is, don’t do it! And if you want to pursue this, be very careful about who you choose for a surgeon.

Yes, most likely, but this is unusual. You must have the fat to inject, and the legs are not the usual place. To really answer this question, I would need to see pictures.
