Hips Liposuction – Before and After Photos

Prominent hips often referred to as “muffins” can be reduced with liposculpture and you can be back at work in 3 days.

removing fat from below the bra strap area to improve the waist
In older women the hips are often combined with removing fat from below the bra strap area to improve the waist area. This is a difficult area to completely correct as the skin has often been stretched by the bra strap over many years. The photos demonstrate a pleasing improvement which makes fitting clothes much easier and giving a more youthful appearance.

The hips in many women can make the body outline appear quite squarish and in some cases can make it seem as though you have no waist at all. Dresses tend to hang off the top of the hips and they can be much more difficult to hide under clothing than even the large saddlebags on the outer thigh. The so called muffins often bulge over the top of low cut jeans.

FAQ

What support garments are required?

A special compression garment is worn for 3 – 4 weeks after the procedure.

What other areas are treated at the same time?
The waist and abdomen are often treated at the same session to give a balanced overall result and the most significant improvement to the torso, though liposculpture to the hips alone is not uncommonly performed.
How long does the procedure take?

Most hip reduction procedures take from about 60 – 90 minutes.
