Unhappy after tummy tuck - would liposuction alone fix my hips? (photos)

If you are unhappy with the way your hips look after a tummy tuck procedure, there may be a few options available to address this concern.

Liposuction can be an effective method to remove excess fat from the hips, and it may be a viable option for you. However, it's important to note that liposuction is not a substitute for a tummy tuck and cannot address loose skin or muscle laxity that may also be contributing to the appearance of your hips.

If you have excess skin or muscle laxity in your hips, you may need a revision tummy tuck or hip lift procedure to address these concerns. These procedures can help tighten the skin and underlying muscles, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.

It's best to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate course of action for you. They can also provide you with a realistic idea of the results you can expect from each procedure and help you make an informed decision about which option is right for you.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Dear Corrine1989,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from additional liposuction. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I would suggest starting with liposuction to remove the excess fat. Once healed, if any excess skin remains, then it can be trimmed in the office under local.
