Do I Need Upper Body Lipo?

July 3, 2011
Asked By:Paulajin

Hi! I am 20 years old, 5'4 and 124 lbs. I feel my body is disproportioned since I have broad shoulders, big arms, big bust but skinny legs, smaller hips and little fat in buttocks. I eat really healthy and do exercise regularly but my genetics keep me from having a more delicate and balaced figure. Would I be a good candidate for upper body lipo (including arms) and fat transfer to buttocks? Or would upper body lipo alone (making my waist smaller) is enough for buttocks to appear larger?
