Now that I'm loosing weight and realize that my hips has a dent .Can it be corrected ,if so, what would be the solution
Answer: Contour irregularities I recommend returning to your surgeon for an evaluation. If needed some fat grafting can be done to even out your hip contours. This would not be done until you have achieved your final results which is typically 9 months to a year after surgery.

Answer: MM with Butt Reduction - Dent in Hips I would have to see pictures or examine you to make recommendations. Three to six months may be a reasonable period of time for you to realize the results of the butt reduction, but every patient may be different. A fat transfer may resolve the issue.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Dent in buttock post mommy makeover Hello! You are 3 months out from surgery. At this point you should have a very good idea of where your surgical outcome "lands." You should followup with your plastic surgeon for an examination and discussion of how to best deal with the issue. It may be that time and massage may do the trick. In some cases a small fat transfer can improve an area that may have had too much liposuction done. Sometimes this can be done under local anesthesia.Best of luck!

Answer: At 3 months after your mommy makeover, your body is still in recovery. The dent you’re seeing could be as simple as an inconsistency due to swelling. The final results of your mommy makeover should be visible by about 6 months after surgery. If you're still concerned with your new contours at that time, schedule a follow-up visit with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: 3 months Mommy makeover and butt reduction Thank you for the question! A mommy makeover is a complicated procedure that involves extended recovery period. At 3 months post-op, you probably would not be able to observe the final results of your procedure. Most likely you're still experiencing some swelling that could be responsible for any irregularities you're observing. Swelling may take from 6 to 12 months to resolve completely. I'd recommend giving it some time to heal. If dents persist at the end of your healing process, then most likely some parts of your body haven't been liposuctioned properly. A simple revision should correct this issue. An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and obtain expert medical advice. Best of luck!
