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

For the excess fat around hips, and lateral scars that can be easily sculpted away with Liposuction. It would be approximately 1-1.5 hours of Liposuction with consideration for skin tightening and Renuvion, which heats and contracts the skin.

Hi Janelle7676,
Thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, I feel that liposuction is the most predictable technique that can be utilized to help you achieve the contour of your hips, thighs and buttocks. Liposuction, when performed by an experienced surgeon, can remove the areas of increased fat and blend and contour these areas naturally into adjacent areas that you are more satisfied with.

Thank you for your question. After a tummy tuck with liposuction, it's normal for patients to see changes in body fat distribution. The body's normal aging process, alterations in metabolism, and hormonal swings can all affect fat distribution even if you maintain a steady weight. Liposuction will be beneficial. Please discuss with your surgeon about the best option for you.

Hello and thank you for your question. The photos show some excess subcutaneous fat on the hip prominences as well as volume deflation on the "hip dips". In my opinion, liposuction on the hips and fat grafting/transfer to the hip dip areas would improve your shape and contour. An in-person consult with a board certified plastic surgery would be able to confirm the findings/plan. Good luck on your journey!

Hi there,
For your contour I would recommend liposuction to the lateral areas that budge and also, if you didn't have it at the time of the tummy tuck, liposuction of the back. This will help silhouette your frame better and improve the natural curves.
Taking it a step further, I would recommend you then inject that fat back into your body in your hip dip area. This is like a BBL in other words. That is the most powerful procedure for improving the waistline and shape, especially when the fat is injected in the lateral buttock, it really makes an hour glass shape possible
All the best
