Hips

Excess fat in the hips can occur from factors including diet, lack of activity, and genetics.
If you’ve tried changing your diet and increasing exercise but still can’t reduce the amount of fat on your hips, Vaser liposuction may be an option.
Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound technology to surgically remove unwanted fat from the hips and waist area for suitable candidates.

What Causes Excess Hip Fat?

Several factors can contribute to the formation of excess fat in the hips including:

Your genes play a role in where your body stores fat.

High-calorie, nutrient-poor foods and a sedentary lifestyle are also major contributors.

Stress and hormonal changes, especially for women, can lead to fat accumulation around the waist.

How to Get Rid of Hip Fat

Reducing hip fat typically involves a mix of exercise, focusing on your waist and abdomen, and eating a well-balanced diet. Stress management and good sleep are also important. But if these changes don’t seem to make a difference, Vaser liposuction could be an alternative treatment option, designed to address those hard-to-shift areas of excess fat for suitable candidates.

About Hip Liposuction

Hip liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to target and remove fat around the hip and waist area using Vaser liposuction. This surgical technique uses ultrasound technology to liquefy excess fat in the treatment area before these fat cells are removed via suction. Suitable candidates have the option to discuss combining hip liposuction with other areas during their consultation with the doctor, this may include areas such as:

Where are the hips located?

Hips - sometimes refered to as flanks – sit on both sides of the outer edge of the abdomen in the waist area. This excess fat typically extends from the lowest point of the waist to just above the hip bone, creating a wider shape on each side of the body.

How can I lose hip fat fast?

Quick fixes are often not sustainable or healthy. The safest and most effective way to reduce the amount of fat on your flanks is through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. However, for those who struggle with stubborn fat, Vaser liposuction could be considered.

What causes excess hip fat in females?

In females, factors like hormonal changes (especially during menopause), genetics, lifestyle, and diet play significant roles in the accumulation of fat in the hips.

Is hip liposuction safe?

While it is generally considered safe, potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.

Am I a suitable candidate for hip liposuction?

Suitability for hip liposuction varies depending on individual factors such as overall health, body type, and medical history. Consultation with a doctor is necessary for a personalised assessment.

How much fat can liposuction remove?

In Australia, there's a maximum limit of five litres of fat that can be safely removed in one liposuction procedure. If more fat needs to be addressed, multiple sessions may be required, which can be discussed during your consultations.

Is Vaser liposuction suitable for obese individuals?

Vaser liposuction is not intended for treating obesity; it is not a weight loss surgery. However, we do offer Mega Liposuction for those looking to remove a significant amount of fat.

Are there non-surgical alternatives to treat the hips?

For non-surgical fat reduction in the hips, we provide CoolSculpting treatments, suitable for specific areas of the body. These procedures offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
