I love my waist but not my “hip dip”/thighs. Will lipo to the flanks and thighs still keep my curves and waist? (Photo)

Question

I have always had an hourglass figure and I would like to keep it while smoothing out the transition from my flanks to thighs and the size of my thighs. I’m planning on having liposuction to the flanks, inner and outer thighs. Do you think the results of this procedure will give me what I’m looking for?

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you start out with a good frame, but have significant asymmetry of the thighs/ hip junction. You would do best with VASER hi Def lipo of the thighs, waist (flanks) and possibly fat grafting to the depressed areas. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. I think you appear to be a good candidate for contouring liposuction to treat your areas of concern. Make sure you are seeing a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and accept nothing less.Good luck!

You are a perfect candidate for HiDef liposculpture!!!!  It will remove these stubborn areas of fat, contract the skin, and bring out the curves.  Thank you and best wishes

Thanks for the photos.  You look like an excellent candidate for liposuction.  I would be careful not to over suction.  You want to maintain feminine curves and softness.  And your waistline is lovely,  I wouldn't touch that!
