What can I do about hip fat after tummy tuck? (Photos)

From your photos and description of your concerns improvement is possible with some liposuction. This will reduce the fullness that you indicated and further sculpt your curves. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Thank you for your question regarding hip fat after a tummy tuck. By looking at your photos, it looks like you could get away with liposuction of the hips and flanks. However, if you prefer the look of your hips being raised, you can do a hip lift where your surgeon would excise a chunk of skin and fat over your hips. This incision could also be lifted over your hip to give you an hourglass figure and snatched waist. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding hip fat after a tummy tuck.

Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Liposuction will remove excess fat and could be done to help improve your contour. Please discuss this with your surgeon.
