Some people have concerns about their body line because the area below the pelvis looks sunken,

or because the side line of the hips appears indented.

In particular, when wearing leggings or fitted clothes,

they may feel that the line connecting the pelvis and thighs looks broken,

and as a result,

the number of people looking into consultations for hip dip improvement is increasing.

Recently, along with hip dip fillers,

inquiries about hip dip fat grafting have also been increasing.

Today, I will organize when fat grafting may be considered over fillers.

1. What area does hip dip refer to?

Hip dip refers to the line that looks indented between the lower pelvis and the upper thighs.

It often appears due to body type or skeletal structure,

and concerns about the line can arise regardless of weight.

In particular, when there is volume on the side of the pelvis

but the middle connecting area looks hollow,

people may seek consultation because the hip line feels broken.

In some cases,

the design direction is planned by considering the pelvis, hips, and thigh line together.

2. How is hip dip fat grafting performed?

Hip dip fat grafting

is sometimes performed by using fat collected from the abdomen or thighs,

to supplement the volume in the sunken hip dip area.

In particular, when someone wants to connect a wide area more naturally,

related consultations may be conducted.

Also, depending on body type,

while looking at the side line of the pelvis and the line under the hips together,

Before/After (1 month later)

one may also consider a direction that allows the overall body silhouette to flow more smoothly.

However, the degree of fat retention and changes in the line may vary depending on the individual’s constitution.

3. When fat grafting is considered over fillers

Hip dip fillers have the feature of allowing relatively simple volume supplementation,

but depending on body type or the desired direction of volume,

fat grafting may also be considered.

In particular, when the sunken area is wide,

or when a more natural feel is important, fat grafting consultations are sometimes conducted.

Also, if a relatively large volume change is desired,

or if you want to consider the overall hip line as well,

it may be checked whether fat grafting is suitable.

However, which method is more suitable can vary depending on the current body type and skin condition,

as well as the desired line direction.

4. Things to check before the procedure

Hip dip fat grafting is not simply about filling only the sunken area,

and the process of considering the connection line between the pelvis, hips, and thighs together can be important.

In particular, excessive volume compared with the body type can feel unnatural,

so the design direction is often determined by taking the current skeletal structure and overall proportions into account.

Also, the appropriate direction can vary depending on the amount of fat available and the condition of skin elasticity,

so it can be important to establish a plan after sufficient consultation.
