Can you get a dent in the hip dip area after lipo of the saddlebag are? (photos)

Without having been in the operation it’s tough to know but if the cannula passes through the hip dip with the suction on it could inadvertently cause a depression by suctioning fat that was not intended to be suctioned. I’d suggest booking an appointment with your surgeon to be examined rather than just accepting answers from office staff.

this will need serious filling or revison procedure with lifting at the same time. I suggest seeing an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I agree with your concerns.  Wait until full healing to see how the area smoooths out, but do see your surgeon  so they are aware of your concerns and can follow you along. If the areas don’t smooth out nicely, fat grafting or touch up liposuction can be used to touch up the areas.All the best to you,Dr. Nancy de Kleer

Waiting and patience is very difficult both for patient and surgeon. However, swelling and lumpiness after liposuction will camouflage result for long time after surgery (6 months and longer). If current hip dent doesn't improve by that time, fat grafting would be a good way to correct it. Be patient and continue communicating with your surgeon. Good luck.

kt1103.  I completely understand your concerns, however it is still quite early in your liposuction recovery journey and it can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve. At the end of that time, if there are any irregularities, they can be addressed with either touchup liposuction or fat grafting. Try to stay patient and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Hi KWaiting certainly won't hurt anything and there is still swelling in the operated sites.  However, I see surface irregularities and divots that appear to be areas of fat over-resection.  This may get better or worse with time, but I think that the later will occur.sek
