Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Ok so I am a 28 year old woman with no children ...

Ok so I am a 28 year old woman with no children (yet)... I have always had a nice size booty no real complaints there, however i do have what people call "hip dips" and they are pretty bad. I am 5'2 and my weight fluctuates between 140-152 usually. Most of this weight goes to my thighs and butt. I have struggled for years with the insecurity of wearing form fitting clothes around my hip area because the hip dips are so noticeable. I absolutely hate it. I have been reading reviews from different women here on realself for a few years and i have to say that this has really been a big help for me in deciding what I want to do. Sooo I decided on doing a Fat Transfer to my hips!!! I went to the consultation with Joseph Alkon, which costs $110, but goes towards the total final cost if you decided to go with him for the surgery. He was very polite and very real in the sense that he was honest about what the possible results could be. He did let me know that because my dips were so severe and my skin in that area so tight I might not get the exact results i was looking for. This news is a little disheartening but at least he was being realistic. I went ahead and scheduled my surgery for 6 weeks later.
