Will getting liposuction done on my hips and lower back help with the shape of my bottom? (Photo)

I had smart lipo done on my outter thighs, waist, upper and lower stomach, back bra rolls and upper arms. The doctor talked me out of the hips he said I had a nice shape already. I'm about 6 weeks out from the stomach and waist proceedure and 4 weeks out from the arms and thighs. I am unhappy with my hips and feel that my lower half looks huge. Will getting lipo of my hips and lower back improve the shape of my butt?

Calves and ankles can take longer to appreciate a "final" result,fluid can continue in your lower extremities, especially if you areon your feet for extended periods of time throughout the day.    You need to follow up with your surgeon.
