How can I remove lump of fat on the back of my leg/buttock area? (Photos)

Question

I have a "lump" of fat in this area and despite plenty of exercise and good diet it won't go away. Even at my thinest I've always had this bulge. What is my best option to eliminate it?

Body contouring procedures have become increasingly popular and can help men and women recontour their body in adulthood. If you have stubborn areas of fatty accumulation that are more resistant to diet and exercise, you may be a candidate for body sculpting liposuction performed at Kare Plastic Surgery in Santa Monica. Liposuction remains one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic surgery and allows patients to slim and toned their waist line, back, arms, and legs using this minimally invasive and highly coveted procedure.

Among the most common areas to have liposuction performed is the waist line and stomach area. This makes liposuction an excellent alternative to a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck. If you have had fluctuations in weight, you may benefit by recontouring the waistline and abdomen using liposuction. Patient with excessive skin in the lower abdomen from childbirth or from excessive weight loss may not respond well to liposuction because the extra skin will continue to hang. In these patients, and abdominal plasty procedure is preferred.

Stubborn fat pockets can be frustrating but in my experience, respond nicely to Vaser ultrasound liposuction.

This will remove the lump and allow smoother 3D contouring of outer thigh area. Surgery is minimally invasive and with easy recovery.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate (rule out lipoma mass, etc) as well as discuss your options and expectations.
