Correcting shoulder / waist / hip ratios

[Jennygirl]

He may not say this. The thing is, if you do gain weight for the procedure then you will need to maintain that weight in perpetuity to maintain the effect. But the fat cells won't die if you do go back to your lower weight. They'll just sit around sulking until you put weight back on.

True I was wondering about this. Like, as I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong)... your body is not going to make more fat cells unless you gain enough that it needs to create more because the current set of cells is stretched to their max capacity. And to my understanding that is the whole reason that there are stem cells in fat cells.. because if the body needs more storage, it can make more room.

145 is the heaviest I have ever been, so I suppose that is a good thing right now If I were to gain more weight, maybe I would have a shot at making some new fat cells- not just filling up the ones I already have.

Either way it seems like gaining a little would also help with exposing where the fat cells are.. making it presumably easier to have a smooth result.

I have also seen it mentioned by doctors posting on realself that fat tends to behave like it did in the donor spot. i.e. if you have a fatty area that is very stubborn with exercise and diet (such as the flanks) there is a higher chance that if you do lose weight post-op, that fat will not go into "hiding" as quickly as it would if it was taken an area that slims down quickly with exercise and diet.

Very interesting! That is going on my list of questions!

Your metabolism will maintain a specific weight. Women who lipo all the fat off their belly and hips find that they start putting weight on their upper body and arms.

My surgeon said one needs to become close to obese to create new fat cells.

That makes sense. It's bit like magnifying the donor areas to see where they are. And to see which areas are predisposed and sensitive to gaining fat.

If fat cells have a memory then that sounds quite promising.

And the gap between the thighs. All the evidence I've seen, SRS can really help with that one..

Silicone injections or "pumping" is not an acceptable topic of discussion here.  I have removed several posts, please do not bring the subject up again. Thank you, hugs, Devlyn

Case in point:



This pumper was arrested for killing one of her "clients."

And notice the very minimal space between the legs.

Ugh, that is so repulsive!

That minimal space is the least of her worries. It's the chasm between her ears that is of greater concern.

I agree.. it shouldn't be a part of this thread. I'm glad you don't condone discussions of illegal black market surgeries.

Thank you mods for clearing it up!

As far as the space between the legs, too.. I'm not too worried about it because tbh so many cis females have inner thigh fat with no space there- unless they are really skinny.

Personally I love that my thighs touch together a little bit. To me it is kind of sensual/soft looking.

What's the big deal?  That looks completely natural looking to me.   

Seriously though,  I don't care what people do to themselves as long as they don't harm others.  Still, I'm glad it isn't in practice.  Jenny, I am certain your procedure is very different and you will go about things in a much safer manner than that, but please don't let anything like that happen to you.  We will all be sad.  I know very little about this procedure, so I will use this thread as an educational experience.

The sad thing is I've seen women like this!

It's not going to turn into a thread about silicone injections. I've removed more posts. Locked.
