Torso and thigh lipo or fat transfer to hip dip? (Photo)

Question

I'm wanting to improve my silhouette. As I am aging, I notice hip dips more. A fat transfer to fill the hip dips was mentioned, however I am worried about the risks of uneven healing and wonder if just lipo to outer thigh, back and abdominal area to remove as much fat will give a better look? I really don't want a huge Kim Kardashian hips and ass look

This needs careful discussion with yourself to model the outcomes either way and see what you like more. Its worth taking your time to think it through and discuss face to face.

Liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks area is an increasingly common procedure. In the right hands it can yield safe and consistent results.Liposuction is used to reduce the fat in some areas and then injected into other areas to improve contour.Looking at your pictures you appear to be a great candidate for this.Like any procedure, there are risks, which you should discuss with your surgeon. After liposuction and fat transfer there’s always a possibility of irregularities, usually;minor. However if those bother you significantly down the line, most surgeons are willing to do a small revision to correct that.

You would benefit from high defintion VASER liposuction to correct the hip dips and improve the overall aesthetics of your lower body. The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
