Question

I have fat pockets on my hips. I want those taken out. I had a problem with necrosis of my flap after my tt, but have healed well. My Dr took great care of me. I really do feel like I've come along way from where I started. If this is something I can get rid of my own with diet and exercise I would, but when you touch my sides they are jiggly. I have sent several pictures including a before shot so you can see where I started to where I am now. I was hoping touch up Lipo on my sides will fix it.

Thank you for your pictures.  The issue is not with your hips but with your upper buttocks.  This area could definitely be improved with liposuction.  Best wishes.

Dana Goldberg, MD · Answer

From your pictures, it seems like you are a good candidate for liposuction to contour the ends of your tummy tuck incision. Occasionally a little skin needs to be removed as well, but based on the desired result liposuction alone will probably work.

Yes, it is very likely that liposuction surgery will improve your shape to your liking; best to communicate your goals directly with your plastic surgeon in front of a full-length mirror. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve your goals. Best wishes.

Maybe additional ;layered liposuction' could help give you a more hour glass shape. But ONLY in person opinions are valid. Seek in person opinions...

Thank you for your question. Lipo to the area you are pointing out may help especially in the hip area. I recommend you talk to your PS for evaluation.
