A. The Hip Dip Augmentation procedure is designed to address hip dips by focusing on adding volume to the hollowed areas. This is achieved through fat grafting, where fat is extracted from areas such as the abdomen or thighs using advanced fat harvesting techniques, purified, and then carefully injected into the hip dips. Alternatively, injectable fillers can be used to add volume and enhance definition. These techniques create a smoother, more natural contour and result in a balanced and attractive body shape that highlights the natural curves and improves overall proportions.

A. The Hip Dip Augmentation involves extracting excess fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs using advanced fat harvesting techniques. This fat is then purified and carefully injected into the hip dips to add volume and enhance definition. The process not only enhances the targeted hip area but also sculpts the donor areas for a slimmer, more balanced overall silhouette.

A. The time for returning to daily life may vary depending on the individual's condition. However, recovery usually takes 1 to 2 weeks for most daily activities without significant difficulty. Major swelling and bruising typically occur 2 to 3 days after the procedure and subside within about 7 days. Minor swelling may take up to 1 month to fully resolve. Light walking is recommended to help reduce swelling and promote healing.

A. After a Hip Dip Augmentation, it’s important to avoid putting direct pressure on the treated areas to ensure the fat grafts settle and integrate properly. It is recommended to avoid sitting or lying on your side for extended periods. Initially, sitting may be uncomfortable, so using a soft cushion for support can help reduce pressure on the area and enhance comfort. Protecting the enhanced areas while maintaining comfort is crucial during recovery.

A. Results are typically long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging may gradually affect the appearance over time. To preserve the results, it is recommended to avoid intensive dieting and intense exercise that could interfere with the fat grafting process.

A. The procedure is performed with minimal incisions using a cannula, so the resulting scars will be minimal. The marks left are slightly larger than needle punctures but tend to fade over time, becoming less noticeable. However, if scarring remains a concern, laser treatments or other scar management programs can be helpful.

A. Prior to the surgery, the clinic will provide you with explanations, consent forms, and pre-surgery instructions. After the surgery, the clinic will provide post-surgery instructions as well as prescribed medication. Key post-surgery instructions include avoiding prolonged sitting or lying on your side, refraining from intense massages around the hip area, and taking prescribed medication to reduce swelling and prevent inflammation. Alcohol and smoking should be avoided for one month, as they can negatively affect bleeding, infection, and wound healing. Strenuous exercise and weight loss should be avoided for approximately two months. However, light stretching and walking are encouraged to help reduce swelling and promote circulation.
