A curvy female body that connects a full bust, a slim waist, and voluminous hips has been considered beautiful throughout the ages. The hips are just as important as the bust in completing the body’s soft curves and contours. Since they have a major impact on the overall body line, if the hips lack firmness and sag, or if they are flat due to insufficient volume, you may consider a "hip-up procedure."

In general, for Asians, body type characteristics mean there is more fat than muscle, so there are limits to improving this through exercise and self-care alone. Hip-up surgery, which improves the shape and size of the hips to make them firmer and fuller, can increase satisfaction when personalized consultation with the medical staff reflects each person’s body type and aesthetic needs.

The most commonly performed hip-up procedures include implant-based hip-up surgery, which inserts implants into the hips; autologous fat hip-up surgery, which transfers fat; hybrid hip-up surgery, which combines the advantages of implants and fat grafting; hip-up lifting; and fillers.
The surgical method is determined according to the direction the patient wants and their physical characteristics. Since this is not something ordinary people can choose on their own, it is important to develop a plan through sufficient consultation with the medical staff and ensure the procedure is carried out safely.

Implant hip-up surgery
Hip-up surgery using implants can be considered when the overall volume of the hips is insufficient. If you simply focus on hip size and choose an implant that is excessively large, it can disrupt the body’s overall balance. Therefore, by inserting a customized implant suitable for the individual and dissecting to the appropriate depth within the gluteal muscle layer, it is possible to reduce concerns about side effects while also expecting a semi-permanent effect.

Autologous fat hip-up surgery (butt fat grafting)
Autologous fat hip-up surgery is most suitable for women who want a natural increase in hip size because their hips lack overall volume. By harvesting excess fat from areas such as the hips, flanks, or thighs and injecting it into the less voluminous hips, it is possible to create firmer, fuller hips, and liposuction can also help remove stubborn fat and refine the body line.

Hybrid hip-up surgery
Hybrid hip-up surgery combines the advantages of implants and fat grafting, allowing enlargement to the desired size while adding a natural curve and feel.
In particular, hybrid hip-up surgery uses ultrasound and Full HD endoscopic equipment to assess the thickness and degree of development of the gluteal muscles, then checks the blood vessels, nerves, and dissection layer in the muscle layer before proceeding with a detailed dissection process.
After that, the implant placement space is carefully examined, the implant is positioned at the correct location between the gluteus maximus muscles, and fat from the body is safely grafted.

Hip-up lifting
Hip-up lifting is a non-surgical buttock lifting method using special threads. By gathering and lifting sagging hips and improving firmness, it can create a hip-up effect. Because it is a relatively simple procedure, the recovery period is short, and concerns about pain or side effects can be reduced. It pulls up sagging hip tissue, gathers volume upward, and smooths wrinkled areas to promote overall tightening of the hips.

Hip filler
Hip filler is a type of body filler that improves flat hip volume with filler. Since the filler is injected using a syringe, the procedure is less burdensome, and it is safe because ingredients that are harmless to the human body are used.
It also has the advantage of allowing faster return to daily life than surgery. Any part of the hips can be treated with hip filler. It can be injected into hollow areas such as hip dips to shape the contour, and it can also add volume to generally flat hips with reduced firmness.

The hips play a role just as important as the bust in completing the body’s soft curves and contours. These days, a voluminous and healthy-looking body is more loved than a body that is simply thin. If you are considering hip-up surgery because of a flat butt that is difficult to improve through steady exercise and self-care, or because of a sagging and stretched hip line, it is advisable to undergo preoperative examination and consultation at a hospital with sufficient knowledge and extensive surgical experience, then choose the surgical method that is right for you.

In the case of hip-up surgery, the surgical technique is difficult, and correcting complications that occur after the first surgery is especially highly challenging. Because the surgical area is wider than other plastic surgeries, delicate dissection that takes nearby nerves and blood vessels into account is required, so before surgery, it is necessary to comprehensively assess the thickness of the individual’s gluteal muscles, the blood vessels in the muscle layer, the shape and firmness of the hips, and the shape of the inferior gluteal fold.
Therefore, for hip-up surgery, it is advisable to choose a systematic hospital that establishes a safe surgical plan based on sufficient consultation and precise examination with experienced medical staff who have a high anatomical understanding of the human body. It is also good to consider the hospital’s safety system and the aftercare system that helps with quick recovery after surgery.
