Liposuction for hips on men? (photo)

Question

If a man has over-pronounced feminine hips and or a top hourglass figure, what type of procedure can you do to make that body more masculine and not so curvaceous. I'm not fat, but I got a wide chest small waist wide hips and look like a woman from behind.

Douglas S. Steinbrech, MD, FACS · Answer

This is a typical body type that I see over and over again in my male plastic surgery practice.
This can be treated very effectively with BodyBanking by moving lipocells away from undesired areas such as your chest or your hips and isolating those cells and banking them back in for structure and volume to desired areas such as the upper chest, shoulders the traps and the biceps.
  
The power of lipocell transfer or fat grafting will give you a completely new silhouette for a total torso transformation and will allow you to enjoy dessert after dinner or a doughnut with breakfast because now the carbs from those foods will populate the cells that and have been transplanted to allow your shoulders to get big or your chest to raise up and your trapezoids to pop.
  
Make sure when you searching for your surgeon they have a lot of before and after photos particularly before photos that match your body type.
  
I hope this helps.
  
Good luck

Hello. Great question. Thank you for your pictures. A personal examination is needed to determine if it is fat deposit giving you that appearance. A personal evaluation will determine if liposuction is your solution. Please schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

If a young man has wide hips as described, it is either the pelvis that is wide or there is also fat on the thighs.  Only the fat can be treated.  This can be evaluated with an in-person examination.  Since in this case, the waist is described as narrow, the narrowness makes the hips look wider.  If there is some excess fat of the the buttock or lateral hip, presumably removing that and possibly adding some to the lateral waist would balance things out.

Thanks for your question. It is hard to advice you based om the photo provided. That said, liposuction could be a great option. With liposuction we can remove a significant amount of fat in order to get a more masculine form. We then use postoperative compression garments and therapies to get the skin to contract down around the new shape.That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. Ideal candidates for liposuction have a normal or close to
normal BMI,  they have stubborn areas of adiposity that
they can't get rid of despite adequate diet and exercise, and have a good skin
tone with no significant stretch marks. It is hard to give you a useful advice based on this limited image. I would
seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation
and advice. Best,

garebear1984I appreciate your concern, however I better photograph would be helpful to provide a more detailed answer. Generally speaking, liposuction may be the best option for you to contour problem areas in which diet and exercise has not worked. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to greatly increase your chances for the best possible result. Good luck.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods that do very poorly for tightening skin or or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear garebear1984,
It is hard to tell for sure without an examination or at least a photo. If you do have extra fat, then a liposuction might be a good option. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question and for your photo. Based on the photo provided, it appears your body already has a good overall shape. It is difficult to tell what areas can be sculpted and in what way due to having a shirt on. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a complete examination to discuss various treatment options and what your expectations are. It is very helpful to bring in photos of the body type that you desire. Best of luck.

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Thanks for the question, you need some who sculpts not just sucks. My practice is almost 100% lipo and men are 30% of the patients. We typically do minimally invasive procedures with limited downtime using vaser energy to melt fat and plasma to tighten skin!
