I am male to female transgender. Can I have a small waist and get rid of the athletic dimple at my hip?

Question

What is possible? The dimples at my hips feel like skin over bone. Will the fat transfer take there? i would like a femine hourglass shape. I would like a realistic butt and femine hips. I am an active 63 years young. My weight has been 175lb for several years but for the past two I have stayed at 195. :( My waist is 38" where it had been consistently 33" my hips still seem to be 41-1/2". These photos are seated.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for liposuction with a BBL and a tummy tuck, to give you a nice tight tummy and to get rid of the extra skin, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your hips, waist, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape, along with the tummy tuck.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

For the trochanteric depressions of the hips I would first try fat injection hip augmentation. The tight skin does lessen the amount of fat take but some fat will survive in my experience. Harvesting the fat is necessary for waistline reduction anyway so that fat might as well be used. Even if inadequate fat takes it still makes the tissues more healthy so that hip implants can be done more successfully later.

Going back to 175 lb would give you a better results. The present body shape can be improved dramatically, liposuction, and fat transfer. Need to evaluate the abdomen for possible skin elasticity and muscle diasthesis.I believ with good examination and planning you will have a better and improved body shape
