I Am 115 Pounds and I Have a Indentation on my Hip?

I am tall, about 5'8. Everyone says I have the perfect body but I don't. It's annoying, I cannot wear skin tight clothes. I refuse to wear a bathing suit in public and I am just irritated with my body. How can I fix the indentation on my hips? I have heard of fat injections but would like to view any other options before I turn to plastic surgery. If you have any educated answer, please help. Also, I have tried gaining weight but my hips have stayed the same and still has the indent. Thank you!!

Fat transfer results can be limited by how much donor fat is available.

Yes, fat transfer is an option. One of my concerns, however, is that you may not have enough fat to "donate" to fill your hips to the desired contour. Proceed with care.

Indentation on Hip

Due to the positioning of the hips and the stance, I find it hard to evaluate this properly. I can tell you that an exam can very easily sort this issue out. If you have pinchable fat on the side opposite the dent, liposuction of the area may be possible to make them symmetric. If you do not have fat on the opposite side, fat grafting may be the answer to the indented side. Finally, hip and bony asymmetry is common, and there may not be an easy fix to the... more
