What is the difference between hips and laterals? What is the max amount of ccs that can be placed in the hips?

Question

I’m reading and seeing women talk about laterals ? What is the difference between hips and laterals ? Can a patient be sculpted to look like they have both? How many cc’s of fat to the hips can be placed in Someone who is 175 pounds?

William Bruno, MD · Answer

There is no maximum amount of cc's that can be injected anywhere, the amount injected depends on the elasticity of the tissues, not the desire of the patient or surgeon. Consult with a few plastic surgeons in person for an exam for more detailed information. Not sure what "laterals" are either. The hips can certainly be shaped with fat however without seeing photos it's difficult to determine what you would need based on knowing only your weight.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Dear Renewed11,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

It is common for us to transfer 1000cc into each buttocks. I recommend a skype consultation with a Vaser Liposuction specialist to allow for a quick examination and recommendation for you. Vaser HD lipo is used to shape the butt by eliminating the bulk of the love handles (i.e. flanks), the lower back, and central diamond, as well as tucking in the lateral thighs and narrowing the medial thighs.
