I am a 64 year old white female with an extreme pear shape. Any suggestions?

Question

I have very small shoulders and very wide hips. It's as if I have two different body shapes joined at the waist. I have a huge butt, stomach, thighs and legs. It's nearly impossible for me to find clothes that fit my odd shape. I'm not thinking that perfection is even possible but I would like to be able to shop and find clothes that fit and help me feel like I am normal or average. I would like to find someone who specializes in lower body liposuction.

Thanks for the question. Without a photo, it is difficult to tell if liposuction is right for you. I recommend scheduling an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options.All the best,Dr. Results

Liposuction can help dramatically to reshape the lower body.  A photo would help better assess if this is a good option for you.  In general, if you are of a stable weight, and a within a reasonable BMI (e.g. below 30), then liposuction might be a good option.  I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who can further discuss the differing options with you.
