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

shinesunJun 18, 2015
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. I suggest you should meet your Board Certified Surgeon to talk this situation. Because it's better to wait a couple of months, your operation area trying to get healed. Then after yes, you can do smoke and drink. I wish you all the best.

I would wait at least six weeks to three months after surgery before considering a tattoo or procedures like laser hair removal.

CoolSculpting is a great non-surgical treatment. It will reduce the fat by freezing it, and it is done in the doctors office. Good luck.

Thanks for the question. Depending on the site of the liposuction the ideal placement of the insulin needle will be away from the surgical sight, leaving the area for absorption untouched.All the best,Dr. Results
