Treatment options for Trochanteric depression/Hip Dip? (photos)

samiraasghariJun 8, 2016
I am an 18 year old female, and my biggest insecurity since I was 11 years old was my hip dip. It became significantly more pronounced as I grew older and at first, I thought losing weight would help but it didn't. I was looking into the possibility of getting fat injections and perhaps getting them paired with liposuction, but I would like a second opinion as well as a possible estimation of the cost. Thanks so much

Chin augmentation for a more pointy chin? Having done fat augmentation for 35 years I can tell you from experience to stay with REVERSIBLE fillers that last 2 years like Volume and Radiesse done by a skilled injector.
