Hips are a bitch aren't they, I'm to old for mine to grow, and don't seem to be getting more than minor fat dist, so I feel your pain.
Only option is corset training, surgery, im not sure if exercise can help or not.

as there really isn't any muscle on your hips, weight training would probably be of very little help...  don't starting putting on lbs till you're quite a few months in to HRT otherwise your body probably won't put it in the right place.  You don't want my belly, it's much less flattering.

One option, which I am near certain I am going to proceed with in the future, is fat grafting.  have them take as much as they can from my midsection and put whatever is still viable on my hips.  for about $10,000 ish, it is similar to a used car... one I can enjoy for years to come!  hopefully hahaha


Holy no-caboose!  You weight 88lbs at 5'8"?  hon, you really need to start eating!  oh em gee


edit ~  Sorry, misread.    Just wait a few months on HRT and then eat eat eat and pack it away   You will balance out nicely.  I wish I had a waist like that! 

.

at least 6-8 months... at least that's just playing it safe.  give your body time to reconfigure how it works..

You lose those fat cells from where they are pulled, but they stay where they are put forever as long as they survive the transplant.  Fat cells don't multiply or die off, they get bigger, or smaller. 

What's wrong with small hips?
Guys and girls love women with small hips.

Ok some people  like woman with large hips and butts. But many like skinnies.

If they are a still a problem wear a butt enhancer. Cost $20 from most beauty stores, just a padded girdle to be honest.

.

as a man, I somehow scored with a booty, but hips are skin to bone for me... so I'm going to put a little fat there to give myself a fighting chance   but its called an apple shaped body.  Many MANY women have it and ways to hide it are pretty easy... I truly understand your position muuu

The modern fashion is for a plenum flare to tops. It looks really really good if you have boy hips. Looks like crap on big hips. Enjoy what we have.

a lot of what you perceive as hips is purely pelvic bone.   very skinny girls usually have no hips either.  When you add fat to the mix, thats when the top and bottom of the hourglass start filling with sand.

How old are you?

Just a little thing...

I tried hip padding (curvy pads) since I am pure bone there with no fat, and the instant feeling was like... "I feel fat".

.

nono, I was just wondering if your growth plates were fused yet.... Your hips may very well widen since you're getting a start before 25... obviously ymmv

not to mention you have an absolutely tiny figure, and theres nowhere to go but out for you...  give your body some time to really program itself from HRT...  The fat is going to have to go somewhere!   Good luck hon, and don't worry, you're young, which means you have a lot better chance than us 30+

.

I don't know what to tell you hon.  I have a 39.5 underbust.  my hips haven't shown any signs of life... but with the right outfits, I've gotten a few lovely compliments.  With such a small frame, you have a world of options at your disposal, and a fighting chance at HRT and hip growth.  look at the bright side, worst comes to worst, you can get silicone implants.  Someone on this site got some not too long ago and she looks amazing.

I wear pads daily.  I hate having boy hips.

You may lose a little upper body mass with time on hrt too. I did and even though I have no fat on the sides of my hips, they do look wider due to the loss up top.
