Can I Get Thigh Implants That Stick Out Further Than My Stomach?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, I am inquiring about a virtual consultation for thigh implants. I just want my thighs far more proportionate to my body. Actually, I’d like them to be larger in comparison to most other things, but I still understand having realistic expectations. I don’t care to have the “muscular” look, just looking to make them more proportionate as I’ve always been an active person and muscle building lacks in this area. I’d like for them to stick out past my stomach in front for a “thicker” look to them.

A: I don’t know if thigh implants could realistically be tissue tolerated (made and inserted) to have that much anterior projection in the subfascial pocket location. That would appear to be at least 2 to 3 cms of implant thickness (if not more)  and I would highly doubt the fascia could be expanded that much. You would have to have the implant placed on top of the fascia, which can be done, but the risks of complications increases considerably in doing so.
