Any way to correct my uneven hip and waist? (Photo)

this is your genetics and spine you will not be able to fix that. liposuction can be done to even things out with regards to the fat but not to the shape of your bone structure. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Tiredgirl2,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

The pictures you submitted show a present but very slight asymmetry which I feel would be nicely corrected with a combination of liposuction and fat grafting. While you cannot change the underlying bony asymmetry, it can be nicely concealed with some fat grafting to your hip dip area and some fine liposuction to the waist and the flank region. Best of luck!

From your description and photos it appears that the issues you have stem from your anatomy. You can begin by visiting with your PCP to discuss your concerns and learn about options. Liposuction can remove excess fatty pockets, but it will not correct the underlying cause of your asymmetry.

Your issues are from your back. You can see a orthopedic back specialist to see if surgery would be helpful. However, it is a long and painful process. Chiropracters or podiatrists could also be helpful to create orthotics that can help you appear straighter.

The human body is not symmetrical. It is not symmetrical anywhere or in any way. The left and the right side form independently during embryology. All of your internal organs are asymmetrical. Patients are right handed or left-handed. The human body is simply not symmetrical and it’s not supposed to be.

Your degree of asymmetry is completely within normal standards.

It is primarily based on skeletal structure not soft tissue coverage and I suggest you do not have a treated.

You can get liposuction if you want to but I don’t think you should do it for the purpose of asymmetry.


If you look closely at pictures of people for people in person and look carefully enough you’ll see that asymmetry is completely normal and sometimes significantly more than we initially recognize.

The reason for this is that the human brain is accustomed to seeing asymmetry as normal.

Symmetry is in fact seen as abnormal by the human brain.

There are lots of interesting articles pointing this out. If you simply Google determine facial symmetry you’ll find several interesting articles showing computer-generated symmetrical faces and how strange they look.

Symmetrical faces have to be computer generated because they don’t exist in real life

Do you have an attractive body that you should be proud of. My recommendation to you is to stay away from plastic surgeons offices unless you really want an operation. I don’t think you need one

Consider getting a work up for your lower back pain. There are some excellent treatments available depending on what the ideology is. This typically requires a work up by a pain or spine specialist.
