I had an extended abdominoplasty December 2018. Im now fully recovered and have been signed off by my surgeon. As time has gone by the fat on my hips has seemed to get more apparent, at1st I thought this was swelling however as everything else seems to have gone down. I'm happy with my surgeons work on my TTbut quite dissapointed that I still cant wear the clothes I want because of the fat on my hips, I find it takes away from the shape Id like to be and gives me more of a female body shape.

If this indentation is a problem for you, you might have it filled with a fat transfer. This could be done in the office under local anesthesia. You could also try a series of Sculptra injections to help fill in that area as well.
This looks like striae which is discolorated. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist with good experience in laser scar treatment is recommended. Good luck.
Mini plastic surgeons what do you liposuction as part of a tummy tuck or as a separate procedure. It's simply one more tool in the toolbox we used to shape the abdomen. This is something you should talk to your provider about. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
