I had a botched liposuction that got rid of my hourglass and made me square. How can I get fat back permanently in hips?

Making a quality assessment requires seeing quality pictures. To make an assessment on the outcome of a plastic surgery we need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have a before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the ones they took. Pictures in the clothing do not help us make quality assessments.
Liposuction should be considered a permanent and irreversible operation. Patients should choose providers carefully by having multiple in person consultations during which they should ask providers to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patients who had similar body characteristics, and had the same procedure. An experienced provider should have no difficulty showing you at least 50 sets of before and after pictures of commonly performed procedures, like Liposuction.
I recommend patient start the process by having at least five in person, consultations and consider scheduling more unless they feel very confident they have found one of the best providers. Delivering consistent quality Liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe. There’s a substantial number of board-certified plastic surgeons who are well intended but simply aren’t good at Liposuction.
Doing this procedure well on a consistent basis is more difficult than people believe and the number of plastic surgeons who have mastered Liposuction is small.
Revision procedures, generally include additional liposuction, fat, transfer, and occasionally converting the procedure to a skin tightening operation. Without seeing proper pictures, we can’t make an assessment, or give you a recommendation. The process to find a provider to do revision work is more or less the same as finding a provider to do primary procedures. Generally the best surgeons for revision work are the same ones who do the best primary work. The exception would be if you need fat transfer, in which case you need to vet providers for both Liposuction and fat transfer procedures.
Fat transfer can sometimes be an option for revising poorly done Liposuction. If the procedure was aggressive and most of the fat was a Removed than fat transfer, becomes very difficult process because the body lacks host tissue to support fat grafting. In that case fat grafting may need to be done during multiple procedures.
To find the best provider I recommend having multiple in person consultations. The difference with revision work as providers are unlikely to have as many before, and after pictures of revision work, since revision is not as common as primary procedures.
