Can you have lipo with fat transfer to the hips if you have arthritis in your hips?

Question

Dear marie1964,
hip arthritis is not a contraindication for liposuction and fat transfer. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question. Arthritis is not a contraindication for plastic surgery/fat grafting to your hips. Fat is not grafted close to the bone,  but rather very superficially under the skin. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and disclose all medical problems and medications so the both of you can come up with a safe surgical plan.
