If I Get Lipo on my Love Handles and Lower Back Will It Look Funny if I Don't Do my Hips?

Dani in Oregon
Most before and after pictures I've seen of lipo, they usually get their hips done too. My sister had tummy tuck and lipo but decided not to get lipo on her hips. She had kind of large hips and realized she looked disproportional after slimming her waist down, so now she's going back to have it done. I'm going to have a breast lift and lipo of my lower back and love handles and I'm just wondering if my hips have enough fat on them to get lipo too, or if it's not necessary. Thanks.
