Can My Wide Hips Be Reduced?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I unfortunately inherited my mom’s sharper wider hips. It is in the actual bone structure and I have always hated it. Is there a way you can help me identify exactly what part of my hips are wide and also let me know if anything can be done? Thank you
A: These pictures show that that the ‘hip width’ concern is at the level of the greater trochanter of the femur (way below the iliac crest) which can not be surgically reduced without serious functional issues.
