Is there such a thing as a butt and thigh reduction???

Question

I'm 120 lbs and a about 25 of that is my stupid curves. I hate my 32F boobs and my big butt. I don't care that others find me attractive cuz frankly I hate my body. I did so many athletics growing up that most of my ass and thighs are muscle which I suppose is better than fat, but not when you're trying to get rid of them. I feel like a fawn with the lower body of a Clydesdale. Is there any way to surgically fix how large and muscular my ass and thighs are so I can be shapeless&skinny?

Thank you for your question.Liposuction is a great way to sculpt the body if fat is present, but if fat is not present, there aren't many good options that exist to remove bone or muscle.  Simply not working out those muscles may cause the muscles to shrink somewhat, but probably not to the extent you want.  I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation.  They will take a look at your dimensions, and body composition, and be able to offer recommendations to achieve the results you desire.

I suggest a consultation with a hi definition procedure to shape and define, this includes liposuction to remove fat but also to contour.  I suggest seeing an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Without pictures it's impossible to comment on your specific situation. Removal of fat in the buttock can leave that area look saggy. I would be disinclined to pursue this fire you. If the volume of the thighs is big due to muscle mass liposuction cannot play a role.

It sounds to me like you have some imbalance with your lower half being heavier than your upper half.  It is often possible to improve the proportions and balance of the body with body contouring procedures.  If the heaviness of your lower half is related to muscle and bone, contouring will be pretty limited but if it is from unequal distribution of fat, contouring may be very helpful.  You also sound like you may benefit from a breast reduction.  I advise you to schedule a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon who can advise you as to what is and is not possible with plastic surgery.  One thing that plastic surgery usually does not help with is self loathing.  That problem usually resides between the ears.

Dear Ms. Opal_Nash,Thank you for your questions.I sense your frustration...Fortunately, there  are several procedures that when combined can improve your body proportions.Without photos I can only recommend a breast reduction.I suggest you make several consultative appointments with different Plastic Surgeons who are Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who are ideally members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes, Dr. R.
