Q:

“Dr. von Maur, I work out 4 days per week but my saddle bags and heavy hips are not reducing in size. These areas have bothered me since high school. Although I’ve maintained a 24 inch waist, my hips and thighs require a size 10. I’m seriously considering liposuction. Would you give me more information regarding this procedure?”  Sandy in Laguna, Ca.

A: Sandy,  it sounds like you may be an ideal candidate for liposuction. This procedure targets unwanted fatty deposits when diet and exercise don’t work.  The liposuction procedure will significantly improve the contour and shape of your hips and thighs resulting in a proportionally streamlined silhouette.  Your consultation will include a computer imager composite of yourself to visually clarify your desired new beauty.
