Would a Brazilian Butt Lift/liposuction and a fat transfer work for hip dips? (photos)

Question

Hi, I'm 5'5" and 122 lbs with a bmi ~ 120.8. I have exagerated hit dips and am very straight. No matter how much I work out I can't seem to effect my waist size or to fill out my hips dips to the degree that I want. I tried sculptra to my left hip dip. 4 vials the first time and then 8 vials 6 weeks later. It did not add volume the way I was hoping. Would a liposuction and a fat transfer work better and is that possible with my figure? Thank you in advance

You can diminish the hip dips by doing liposuction above and below them in your hips, waist, and outer thighs. You could also have some additional liposuction of your belly to try to harvest a little bit more fat. With all the fat harvested from these areas, you could do a fat transfer to the hip dips. The combination of subtraction and addition in these areas with lead to an overall improved result!

Fat grafting to the contour abnormality may be the best alternative, but an exam would be necessary to examine quality of skin and nature of the deformity. Liposuctioning fat from other areas of lipodystrophy and transferring the fat in very small aliquots to the dents works well. This is never a perfect solution to the dent problem, but it can improve the areas in most instances.

Thank you for your question and pictures. I would recommend you liposuction with BBL for betters results.

Dear Malinasos,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks and hips should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Based on your photos, I believe you are a good candidate for fat grafting to your hip depressions to improve projection and contour. The success of the procedure will depend on how much fat you have to donate and this can only be confirmed in person by a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.
