Hip Dip Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Are you self-conscious about indentations along the sides of your hips? Known as hip dips or violin hips, these natural inward curves between the hip bone and upper thigh can affect the smooth, hourglass shape many people desire. While completely normal, hip dips can be enhanced with hip dip surgery, a cosmetic procedure that fills in the hollows to create fuller, rounder hips and a more balanced figure.
In Korea—where body contouring procedures are performed with exceptional attention to detail—hip dip correction is rising in popularity for those seeking refined, natural curves. At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we offer safe and effective hip dip surgery through fat grafting or hip implants, depending on your goals and body type.
Why Choose Hip Dip Surgery?
Hip dip surgery is ideal for individuals who:
- Have visible indentations along the outer hips
- Want a more continuous, rounded hip contour
- Feel that hip dips make their figure appear less proportionate
- Have already undergone buttock enhancement and want to complete the look
- Desire a feminine, hourglass silhouette
This procedure is a great option for those who cannot target this area through diet or exercise alone and prefer a permanent solution over temporary fillers.
Surgical Options for Hip Dip Correction
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we provide two main techniques for hip dip correction, customized to your body and preferences:
1. Fat Grafting (Autologous Fat Transfer)
- Fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs via liposuction
- The fat is purified and strategically injected into the hip dip area
- Creates a natural, smooth transition between the waist and thighs
- Dual benefit: reduces unwanted fat and enhances curves
- Suitable for patients with enough fat to harvest
2. Hip Implants
- Silicone implants are inserted into the hip dip area through small incisions
- Provides immediate volume and symmetrical results
- Best for patients with low body fat or those seeking more defined contours
- Long-lasting and stable results with proper care
Our specialists will assess your anatomy and help determine which method will offer the best aesthetic and functional outcome.
Consultation and Planning
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation at our Seoul clinic. We take time to understand your goals and use advanced 3D imaging and body analysis to develop a customized treatment plan.
During your consultation, we will:
- Evaluate your hip structure and fat distribution
- Review your health and surgical history
- Discuss realistic outcomes and shape preferences
- Show simulation results using before-and-after images
- Recommend the most effective and safe method for correction
We focus on achieving smooth, proportional results that enhance—not overpower—your natural body lines.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Hip dip surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the technique used.
For Fat Grafting:
- Liposuction is performed to collect fat from the donor area
- Fat Purification is done using a filtration system to isolate healthy fat cells
- Fat Injection into the hip dips using small cannulas for even distribution
- Compression Garment is applied post-surgery to aid in healing and shape retention
For Hip Implants:
- Small Incisions are made near the hip dip area
- Implants are inserted into pre-made pockets and positioned symmetrically
- Sutures are placed, and the area is dressed for recovery
No large visible scars are left, and all incisions are discreetly placed.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience minimal discomfort and resume light activities within 1–2 weeks.
Recovery Timeline:
- Days 1–5: Swelling, mild soreness, and bruising are normal
- Week 1: Light walking is encouraged; wear compression garments
- Weeks 2–3: Resume light exercise; avoid pressure on the hips
- 1–3 Months: Fat settles or implants stabilize; swelling fully subsides
- 3–6 Months: Final results become fully visible
We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to sit, sleep, and move comfortably to preserve results and promote healing.
