I have an indentation below my waist, and it looks like fat is missing. What are my options? (Photo)

Thanks for sharing your question. I can
appreciate your concern.The indentation that you mention is related to the ligaments or attachments of the skin to the deeper bony area. The solution is a combination of mild refinement up and down (considering that you like this feature), in addition to fat grafting to fill in the indented space. Finally, make sure that you have a
consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Wishing you the best in your journey

Dear Alena A.,Thank you for your story, questions and photos. Unfortunately without a personal examI can give only general advice. However I hope you find it helpful.my responses:1) we are born who a limited number of fat cells. They do not increase in number.2) the fat cells get larger as we gain weight and conversely shrink when we loose weight.3) thus if you have liposuction the weight gain will occur in areas that have the most fat cells4)there are certain areas in each inviduals body that the fat cells are more "diet resistant"and these areas are ideal for liposuction.5)fat when properly harvested, purified and injected can add permanent contour restoration to the areas injected. Recommendation:1) combination of precise liposculpture2) select lipoinjection 3) make several appointments with experienced Plastic Surgeon who is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).My best wishes,R.
