Hip Liposuction Richmond | Hip Liposuction Northern Virginia

The hips are one of the most difficult areas of the body to lose weight, and many women tend to retain excess fat in this area. This can often make clothing look awkward and ill fitting, causing low self-esteem.

Hip liposuction provides a very effective solution, helping patients to lose a significant amount of inches and achieve beautifully natural-looking results. The hips respond very well to liposuction, and are in fact one of the most successful areas when it comes to showing visible improvement after the procedure.

Why Choose Hip Liposuction?

The hips can often be cruel. In many women, they can cause the body to take on a “square” or squatty look, making it appear as though the woman has no waist. They can also often hang over the top of pants in an unattractive way—the “muffin top” you often hear about.

However, when hips are contoured properly, they provide a feminine figure, enhancing the buttocks and achieving an overall more attractive appearance.

Diet and exercise will help, but even if an individual works hard and eats well, fat around the hips can often be incredibly stubborn and difficult to get rid of.

Liposuction is a fantastic option because it has the ability to remove this fat and create a shape that’s more proportional with the rest of the patient’s body.

Hip Liposuction Candidates

If you’re interested in a Richmond hip liposuction treatment, you may be an ideal candidate. The best candidates for hip liposuction are those who are near their ideal weight, but who are having difficulty getting rid of the excess fat around their hips.

Those who are considering hip liposuction should understand that it is not a substitute for diet and exercise, nor is it a cure for cellulite. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise are required to help keep liposuction results at their optimal appearance.

Good candidates for hip liposuction are those who:

Are near their goal weight but have excess fat in their hips
Have good skin elasticity
Have good physical, mental, and emotional health
Do not have any active diseases
Have realistic expectations about what hip liposuction can achieve

The Hip Liposuction Procedure

Patients will be given a sedative before their hip liposuction procedure, and the areas being treated will be numbed for comfort.

Very small incisions are made so that a cannula can be inserted under the skin. The cannula is a thin, hollow tube that will break up the fat cells and then suction it away.

Dr. Sundin will remove just the right amount of fat and will leave behind enough of it to preserve the natural contours of the body and maintain a smooth skin surface, which will achieve the most natural looking results. The procedure is performed with the utmost care in order to minimize scarring.

Additional areas such as the thighs, buttocks, or stomach are often also treated in combination with the hips for a more complete, balanced look.

Hip Liposuction Recovery

Recovery time for hip liposuction is very minimal. Patients typically take about 2-3 days off of work following their hip liposuction procedure, and can expect to wait 3-4 weeks before exercising.
