A body shape that looks hollow on the sides of the hips affects the overall proportion of the lower body.

When the area is hollow, the buttock and thigh lines do not connect naturally,

and it can give the impression that the legs are shorter or that the pelvis looks wider.

That is why the grafting should not simply be for making the buttocks larger,

but should be approached with the goal of refining the side and lower lines together.

Many people think,

Wouldn’t it be enough to just add volume?

However,

in reality, the apple butt impression changes completely depending on where and how much is distributed.

If this is not taken into account, awkwardness may remain even after surgery.

How buttock and hip dip fat grafting is performed The grafting is usually performed by refining fat collected from areas such as the thighs or abdomen and using it for the procedure.

What matters more than the harvest amount is the grafting method.

A method that focuses only on the center of the buttocks may create temporary volume,

but if the side line does not improve, the effect of correcting the hip dip may be limited.

That is why a layered injection method is used so that the hollow area and the outer thigh line connect naturally.

When designed this way, the curve also looks soft from the side, and the back view is refined without looking excessive.

Whether this aspect was sufficiently considered during the design stage determines the outcome.

Side effects and survival rate: what you need to know realistically The parts that people worry about most after grafting are side effects and survival rate.

Immediately after surgery, symptoms such as swelling, bruising, and tightness may appear, and these usually gradually improve during the recovery process.

However, if too much is injected at once or the procedure is performed in a way that strains the tissue, the survival rate may decrease.

A certain amount of absorption is a natural process,

so it is important to make the plan with this in mind from the start.

Rather than trying to add too much out of desire for more volume, helping it settle stably leads to greater satisfaction in the long run.

The survival rate is also affected by an individual’s constitution and recovery management, so aftercare is important as well.

Where scars are located and how large they are: what you should honestly know Concerns about scars are also common.

The incision marks created during the grafting process are small puncture-like openings for harvesting and injection,

usually only a few millimeters in size.

They are generally made in areas covered by underwear or along creases, so they are not often noticeable in daily life.

However, the speed of recovery and the process of scar fading vary from person to person.

What is important is not to expect that there will be no scar at all, but to understand that the scar is managed so that it is not noticeable.

Receiving a thorough explanation and having realistic expectations helps increase satisfaction after surgery.
