Looking to accentuate my curves and enhance my buttocks - Best Route for Lipo? (Photos)

Question

Hi ! I am a 5’5 and 150 pound woman. I’m looking to accentuate my curves and enhance my buttocks for a defined, balanced look. My goal is subtle, lasting results with minimal recovery time. I’m open to surgical and non-surgical options but prefer low-maintenance surgical procedures that enhance my shape. I’m interested in contouring areas like my waist, lower back, and flanks for an hourglass effect that highlights my buttocks. Any recommendations based on my body type would be appreciated!

Thank you for your question and photos. You are looking for more defined curves with lasting results, but your goals are "subtle", low maintenance. Your dream and how to achieve it are contradictory. As a Total Definer board certified plastic surgeon, I would recommend VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 degrees of your torso to give you an athletic feminine, long lasting shape. You do have lateral thigh asymmetries and would need the left saddlebag area reduced, and fat transfer to the buttocks for shaping. As you can see, this is not a "subtle" approach, requires understanding of the underlying bony and muscle anatomy to create transformative results. Do not waste your money on non surgical approaches. Due to your ethnicity, you naturally have more fibrous fat and procedures like Coolsculpting will not make a dent in your shape, but will make it much more difficult to do liposuction secondary to the intensive internal scarring these devices produce. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Hello,There is volume asymmetry between your hips. In my opinion, the best result would be achieved by performing Vaser liposuction on the abdomen, waist, thigh, and left hip to remove fat, and then transferring fat to the buttocks. If you'd like to keep the procedure more minimal, you may choose not to undergo Vaser liposuction on the abdomen. If you want your buttocks to be very prominent and appear wide from the back view, less fat can be taken from the left hip and more fat can be transferred to the buttocks. However, to achieve a balanced buttock shape and a beautiful hourglass figure, the fat amount in the left hip should be equalized with the other side.
