I'm 8 months out from stem cell abdominal and thigh liposuction plus hip fat grafting at TheLINE Plastic Surgery Dr. Yoongeun Kim did lipo on my abdomen, love handles, thighs and Chanel line, and grafted every bit of the collected fat into my hips! My rib cage is wide and my waist is straight up and down, and on top of that I had gained a lot of belly fat, so even doing Pilates and dieting barely changed anything, which was really discouraging and depressing T_T But after taking off all the belly fat with abdominal and love handle liposuction and adding the hip grafting, my contour changed so much that I wonder if this body is really mine! Liposuction matters, but for fat grafting they say the fat survival rate is especially important and it can get reabsorbed quickly, so I really wanted to do it with stem cells. Even if it cost a bit more! Looking back, I'm so glad I went with stem cells! Even the slightly dented hip dip area hasn't gone flat and is holding up well 8 months later, and now that my hips have overall volume, you can't tell at all that my waist is straight when I'm dressed - it actually makes me look like I have a really curvy figure, so everything I wear looks good on me!!! I used to only try to cover up, but now I even deliberately pick clothes that show my hip line more haha If you have a straight waist like me, don't just take off the belly fat, definitely get hip fat grafting done together!! haha
