I've had lipo 360 with fat transfer to my butt and hip dips . Overall I am not happy . My hip dips were quite deep initially but I want them fuller and the projection is still very flat side on. Can I go round 2 and achieve this ? Where I got my surgery my surgeon has left and I seen someone different. He has told me I don't have enough fat. Would really appreciate a second opinion

Answer: Second round of hip/buttock augmentation You do not seem to have much fat deposits for any significant hip augmentation. However, it is very likely that a moderate correction can be considered. Only on the basis of in person consultation, a board certified plastic surgeon, with expertise in fat transfer, may give you a more meaningful answer. Good luck.

Answer: Treatment options For almost all individuals who have a hip dip you can eliminate the hip dip with well done the production of the love handles.I think your first provider did not do Liposuction low enough to remove all of your love handles.You could definitely graft some more fat, but I think what’s really missing is quality Liposuction.Personally, I do both Liposuction and fat transfer for these areas with patients laying on their side.This positioning of the patient puts everything on display and makes contouring the area much easier. The key as is almost always the case is to find the right provider.Delivering consistent quality, liposuction, and fat trans. Results is more difficult than most people recognize.The number of plastic surgeons who approach mastery of the beast procedures is in reality quite small. I always recommend patience schedule in person consultations exclusively, avoiding virtual consultations whenever possible.During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before and after pictures of previous patients who have similar body characteristics to your own. Bring pictures with you (your own before and after pictures) to use as reference for when you’re reviewing before and after pictures during the consultation. Some fed can be harvested in the area. Were you still need Liposuction and usually previous areas can deliver some more fat from secondary Liposuction.Alternatively, new areas can be used to harvest fat like the back, inner thigh or arms.To me, the problem looks fairly easy to fix and I would primarily rely on well done. Liposuction possibly grafting some fat, though I don’t think that is nearly as important as removing fat above your hip dip.Best,Mats Hagstrom MD
