I had liposuction and Brazilian Butt Lift in August. Since my doctor was transferring fat to my butt, I asked him if he could transfer fat to fix 2 cellulite I had. He said he could and even offered to fix other cellulite I had. I was happy with the idea of fixing my cellulite. I'm happy with the results of my liposuction and BBL. However, where my cellulite were there are large indentations that make both my legs look deformed now. What happened and what should I do? Should the doctor fix that?

Hello, and thank you for reaching out to us.With the BBL, your surgeon will take fat from your body, in most cases your abdomen, and transfer it to areas of your butt, working to create the perfect structure and contour. I would recommend a body contouring solution to symmetrically and...

Thank you for your question.  Your photos suggest that your asymmetry may be due to a difference in the position of your pelvis and hip bones.  This can happen in patients with a history of scoliosis.  This kind of asymmetry cannot be completely corrected with liposuction. ...

Dear ChayChay, yes you are a good candidate for a hourglass shape. You could a have perform a nice liposculpture of your upper and lower back which would increase your waist line.
