What to Do for Bad Lipo to Butt and Hips?

I had bad lipo to my buttocks and hips, as well as fat grafting to my thighs. It has been a complete disaster, as the fat graft reabsorbed and the lipo was far too excessive. In particular he took all the volume from my upper buttocks and hips/back, leaving me very flat and unnaturally shaped.  I had been told by a doctor in London that Aquamid would help me and is completely safe, is this so? I dont think i have enough fat left for grafting and do not think the graft would remain anyway. I dont think implants would help due to the asymmetry problems and lack of fat. what can i do?

Bad lipo to butt and hips

Treating lipo irregularities

The volume required from fillers is likely to be prohbitive but there are reports of using fillers such as Macrolane for this orioisel. This is not a readily available US oiption at this point in time. Alternatively a dermolipectomy may be another route.

Bad lipo

I am sorry you had an unfavorable outcome. The only way to get a feel for what you need is to have a good exam by a well qualified surgeon. Good luck.
