I am 5’4” 148 pounds. I have fat on my stomach and back. I have a decent size butt. But I have no hips at all. I actually have hip dips. Could this be successfully corrected through a BBL?

Answer: Hip grafting during BBL There are a lot of definitions as to where exactly the hips are and different people and patients and even including doctors can somewhat vary in their description. But that being said your hips dips are very common and easily grafted and the fat survives well here. If you are talking about going more laterally, that is away from the center of the butt and moving towards the front of your leg there is an area that is not as receptive to fat grafting either in amount or take but I would say that there are not many patients that really benefit from a lot of fat placed here anyway nad most are interested in and benefit from fat grafting to the hip dip area which is more medial, that is directed to the center of the butt.

Answer: Fat Transfer to Hips Thanks for your question. There is typically less room to graft fat in the hip area. This is why it's not easy to get projection in this area. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama M.D., Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
