Can my body type be contoured to look like I have hips without getting a bbl? I want a contoured waist and wider hips (Photo)

Body contouring/liposuction has evolved over the past years and is not just about fat reduction but more so about sculpting and defining. In patients who have smaller problem areas, you want an energy based device to help melt fat and tighten skin. as well, it helps to define and shape the musculature. This type of liposuction requires a specialized body contouring specialist who is trained in 4D hi definition procedures and can do fat removal with both deep and superficial liposculpture. Please see an expert for sculpting and defining procedures, whos practice is dedicated to these types of surgeries. Your case will need a combination approach, likely with skin surgery.  you will get some improvement with liposuction alone but may need more.  I suggest a formal consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for the question and picture.I think you have a reasonable focused request.  I think if you have a reasonable expectation then a BBL may be an option.Liposuction of the back rolls and the love handles would harvest enough fat to transfer to the buttocks area around the hips to transform your post-anterior shape of the buttock from a square to an inverted triangle and give you more posterior projection.  The back and flank skin responds well to traditional liposuction by contracting after the volume is deflated.Your diabetes is a concern for healing and therefore I would recommend you consult in person with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for best recommendations.Best regards Nagi T Ayoub MD, FACS

Thank you for the question and the photographs. Achieving a round look to your hips and improving the contour of the waist line can be done through the use of liposuction. What cannot be predicted is the capability of the skin to retract after the operation. If after the procedure your skin does not retract a second abdominoplasty or even an extended abdominoplasty may be required. I hope this helps. Best of luck.
