5 years post tummy tuck and liposuction - what can be done to improve the contour of my hips, thighs and butt? (photos)

March 16, 2024
Asked By:Janelle7676 in Pasadena, CA

Had a wonderful tummy tuck with liposuction (flanks) about 5 years ago, but unsightly fat settled on my hips and upper backside, ruining my shape. I eat great and exercise 4-5x times a week and my weight is stable at 135 lbs. for the last 5 years. Can anything be done to improve the contour of my hips, thighs, and butt? I’m not overweight or a candidate for Wegovy, and I feel like my fat is in all the wrong places!
