A. Hip lift surgery involves thread lifting to tighten the muscle tissue and adding volume through fat transfer or fillers.

The number of threads used for hip lift surgery can vary depending on factors such as the size of the buttocks, the degree of sagging tissue, and the desired hip line shape.
It can range from around 10 threads to 50 or more. It is recommended to consult with the surgeon to determine the appropriate number for your case.

Over time, these scars will fade and become less noticeable. The visibility of scars can vary depending on individual factors such as skin condition.
Q. What precautions should I take after hip lift surgery?
A. After hip lift surgery, it is important to keep the compression tape on until the next appointment for thread removal. Take prescribed medications to reduce swelling and prevent inflammation.
Avoid alcohol and smoking for one month after the surgery, as they can negatively affect healing, bleeding, and infection risks.
It is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and intense dieting for approximately two months. However, light stretching and walking can be beneficial for reducing swelling.
