HThis is how I look in a bikini but I know the bottoms are helping a lot by "shaping" the fat. Do you recommend I add fat to the hip dips OR lipo the hips? I've noticed some people have fibrosis-y tummies after liposuction. How do I make sure to avoid this? How much does the plastic surgeon's skill affect that? Also considering lipoing my flanks. Can flanks also get bumpy from lipo? I want the fat gone but don't want it to look like cellulite if you know what I mean :) Thanks!

Answer: Smooth liposuction results Your path to a great result is choosing a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive and long term experience with liposuction and other body contouring surgeries. What is not important is the type of liposuction employed, e.g. Vaser, laser, ultrasound assisted, etc. Modern techniques to facilitate getting smooth results involves rapid elimination of subcutaneous fluids that can build up under the skin after surgery. It is not enough to simply compress the affected area with compression garments. Drains are now a mainstay of recovery, along with lymphatic massage therapy. I do not necessarily recommend filling hip dips: what can be seen in the photo is a prominence of hip fat that will always make your buttock look tall, square, flat. You will get the best recommendations with an in person consultation that allows for physical examination.
