Will Hip Implants Smooth Out Liposuction Irregularities?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I was botched over 3 yrs ago when I had lipo. This past November I had revision lipo with fat transfer to oversuctioned hips. The fat did not stay so now considering implants.

A: Hip implants are unlikely to be an effective technique for improving the irregularities from liposuction irregularities. Sunce they are placed deeper than the subcutaneous fat layer they are only going to push out the shape and irregularities that are already there.
