Asked By:Nataly Nataly in New York, NY

When I was 20 I had liposuction done on my lower abdominon (sp?) and what was supposed to be my flanks but the doctor lipo-ed what was a really cute butt!!! My waist is tiny now but I was (and still am) only 105 lbs at the time. I'm 5'3" and feel my doctor was being greedy and should have said no. I didn't have the courage to complain at the time but it makes me a little. angry every day. I'm now 29. How can I get my butt and hips back? I feel my body is out of proportion
