Can l achieve a more symmetrical look without liposuction? 6 months post op, left and right hip don't match. (photos)

Question

I am 6 months post-op and my left side hip is not the same as the right hip and my hips don't match my leg. My surgeon said l need a revison but am trying to avoid another surgrey for now. Can coolsulpting or cavitation fix the problem for me since l just want to take a little ins of hips to match my legs

Kristine Krever, MD · Answer

Liposuction can sometimes result in these types of issues and it can be frustrating when the result shows unevenness from side to side or a contour that isn't as smooth as it should be. Many patients would choose to avoid having to return to the OR for a revision so figuring out less invasive ways of improving the outcome is an important goal. I would be hesitant to suggest or try CoolSculpting to address a postsurgical challenge such as yours. I would be afraid that the precision needed to edit the area would require more accuracy than CoolSculpting applicators could offer. A better option might be lipolytic injections, which are sometimes referred to a mesotherapy (Kybella®, or PC/DC). A skilled and experienced provider can place these injections in a precise way to target fat that needs to be edited away. It can take multiple sessions for best results but is a more customizable way to sculpt unwanted fat in a situation like yours.
