What can I do to improve the boxy appearance of my hips and create a more rounded and feminine silhouette? (photo)

Question

I would like some advice on how I could achieve more feminine contours in particular in the hip area. I have always felt that I look boxy and I can't figure out what the problem is. The back view seems more boxy looking than the front. Is there a way to improve this with liposuction?; Measurements are 38-29_38 at 5'6" and 140lbs. I plan to consult a plastic surgeon in the Fall but would love some insight from the Pros here before I move forward. All advice is welcome!

For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you a curvier, more feminine result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear lilipad58Thank you for your questions and photos!  Liposuction and Coolsculptingare both options for fat contouring.  The Lipo can be done under a sedation or General anesthetic, where as coolsculpting is performed in the office.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a
great candidate for waistline contouring liposuction of your abdomen, flanks,
and lower back.  This can greatly improve your overall shape with a
smaller waist.  Make sure you specifically
look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this
surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
  
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get liposuction. This procedure can help you get the curves you desire and enhance your silhouette. You might also  consider getting a BBL, this the fat removed from the lipo to give your buttocks a much better shape. 
Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine, please also look for a board certified plastic surgeon that helps to get what you are looking for, remember that your safety, always, must be first.

Good luck and have a great day!
