Learn More About Hip Dip Surgery
While hip dips are a normal part of human anatomy, some people desire a more contoured and rounded silhouette. Our experienced surgeons, Dr. Shienbaum and Dr. Gargya offer advanced hip dip surgery techniques to help smooth these curves, enhancing the natural harmony of your body’s shape.
Hip dips are the inward curves where your hips meet your thighs. These natural indentations are influenced by bone structure, fat distribution, and muscle mass, which can vary from person to person. While hip dips are normal and not indicative of health concerns, some prefer a smoother, more contoured silhouette.
Hip dip surgery is designed to fill in the indentations along the sides of the hips, creating a more rounded, contoured appearance. At Brandon Plastic Surgery, Dr. Shienbaum and Dr. Gargya utilize advanced fat grafting techniques, often liposuction, to achieve these desired results.
The procedure involves harvesting fat from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks and carefully injecting it into the hip dip areas to add volume and improve symmetry. This customizable approach allows our surgeons to tailor the procedure to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
The results of hip dip surgery are typically long-lasting, but they are not permanent. Factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes can affect the fat cells or implants used during the surgery. However, if you maintain a stable weight and follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, your enhanced hip contour can remain stable for many years.
It’s essential to remember that the body may naturally absorb some of the transferred fat over time. Still, the majority of the fat cells will remain, providing a significant improvement in hip shape.
Most patients can expect some bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the treated areas for the first week. Wearing a compression garment is typically recommended to help reduce swelling and promote proper healing.
Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least four to six weeks following surgery; however, walking and light activities are encouraged to promote circulation and prevent complications. Dr. Shienbaum and Dr. Gargya will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome.
Sleeping properly after hip dip surgery is crucial to avoid pressure on the treated areas and to facilitate optimal healing. To reduce tension on the hips, it is generally recommended to sleep on your back with a pillow under your knees. Also, avoid sleeping on your sides or stomach until your surgeon confirms it is safe.
Hip dip surgery typically involves very small incisions strategically placed to be as discreet as possible. With proper care and adherence to post-surgery guidelines, any scars will likely fade over time, becoming less noticeable.
