Hip Augmentation with HA filler over iliac crest - what complications could arise from this? (photos)

Question

As you can see there is not much feminine flare of my iliac crest and very harsh transition from my obliques (My muscles are strong even though I do not exercise due to extreme post exertional malaise). Is it dangerous to use HA filler in this area? I know it can safely be used for "hip dips" but can it be used over the iliac crest and possibly under that oblique for a nice smooth and feminine shape. Safety is my number one concern so please elucidate what complications could arise from this

Hello @RachelSalamantiBased on your pictures you look like a good candidate for a liposuction of the abdomen and waist/flanks. This will make your waistline appear slimmer and give you a more feminine look. You can also add fatgrafting to the hips/buttocks. For a dramatic change of the hips or buttocks you won't have enough fat, but for rounder hips you would get a great result.l recommend you to find a board certified plastic surgeon so you can talk about your expectations , aftercare, risks etc. Best regards!Alexander T.

Injection lateral BBL or Hip Dip Filler BBL would need larger amounts of HA fillers (in the 200cc ranges per side). Fees would be in the $20,000 ranges. Only complications if any are infection, dissolving to fast the results. Best to consider lipo with fat grafts.

Do I have enough fat for fat transfer to hips? (Photos)

How long does a fat transfer in the hips last? I have very bad hip dips that I'm very insecure about and need fixed.

Hip dip filler besides Sculptra?
