Can Thigh Implants Help Achieve A Better Lower Body Shape?

Q: Dr. Eppley,I’m interested in the thigh implant procedure. I have a small frame and have always hated my small thighs. I have a big but and my small legs make it look very unnatural. The last two images are what I am looking to achieve. 

A:Thank you for your inquiry and sending your pictures. On my initial reaction to it I thought initially that this would not be a remotely achievable outcome. However upon closer evaluation comparing your thighs in a side-by-side fashion to the ideal images it became more apparent that the differences is in the anterolateral thigh which is exactly the area thigh implants augment as per the attached diagram as drawn on your thighs. This does not mean that you’re going to get that exact outcome as it is a magnanimous change but at least the concept of implants in this location will improve your current thigh-buttock disproportion.
