I had lipo done 5 months ago and my hip dents look so bad. The dr says it’s just heavy skin. Comparing my before and after It looks like she did more than just saddlebags. Can this be fixed? I am 5” and weigh 130lb not enough fat to do fat grafting. I’m so upset when I sit I have so much loose skin when I stand the dents are so bad. I feel like she changed my shape. She cut me straight up and down :(
