Complete a Firm, Sculpted Backside!
Effects and Features of Hip Augmentation Surgery for Sagging Buttocks

Many people are concerned about facial or abdominal firmness, but it is easy to overlook the fact that the buttocks are also affected by aging and changes in body weight. As we age, decreased skin elasticity and reduced muscle mass can cause the buttocks to sag or lose volume, altering the overall contour of the backside. In addition, factors such as rapid weight loss after dieting, childbirth, and a naturally flat pelvic structure can also affect the hip line.
Because these changes can sometimes be difficult to improve through exercise alone, those who want a more three-dimensional hip line may consider hip augmentation surgery. Hip augmentation surgery is not simply intended to increase volume; its goal is to create a natural backside contour suited to each individual’s body shape.
What effects can be expected from hip augmentation surgery?

Hip augmentation surgery can help supplement insufficient volume and improve sagging buttocks to create a more three-dimensional silhouette. When the hip line is enhanced, the proportions between the waist and pelvis are emphasized, which may make the overall body shape appear more balanced.
It may also improve the way clothing fits and help increase confidence in the appearance of the backside. However, it is important to select an appropriate method after carefully considering factors such as pelvic structure, skin elasticity, and fat volume.
Types of Hip Augmentation Surgery: Hip Augmentation Using Implants

Hip augmentation using implants may be considered when volume is very limited or when harvesting autologous fat is difficult due to a thin body type. This method increases the volume of the buttocks using implants and can provide relatively noticeable volume enhancement. One advantage is that the desired size and shape can be maintained relatively consistently, but it is important to develop a surgical plan after carefully considering the body shape and muscle condition.
Types of Hip Augmentation Surgery: Hip Augmentation Using Autologous Fat Grafting

Autologous fat grafting involves harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and then grafting it into the buttocks. Because the patient’s own fat is used, a natural feel and soft volume can be expected. Another advantage is that areas with excess fat can be made slimmer at the same time.
However, some of the grafted fat may be absorbed, so securing a sufficient amount of fat and developing an appropriate grafting plan are important. This is one of the methods often considered by those seeking a natural hip line.
Types of Hip Augmentation Surgery: Hip Lift

A hip lift focuses not simply on increasing volume but on lifting sagging buttocks to create a firmer and smoother hip line. It may be considered when there is significant skin laxity or when firmness has decreased after childbirth, aging, or rapid weight loss. Various methods may be applied depending on the individual’s skin condition and degree of sagging. When volume is sufficient but sagging is a concern, a hip lift alone may help create a more balanced backside.
Types of Hip Augmentation Surgery: Hybrid Hip Augmentation

Recently, hybrid hip augmentation, which combines the advantages of multiple methods rather than using just one, has also been widely performed.
The hybrid approach combines implants with autologous fat grafting or other methods to sufficiently enhance deficient volume while creating a more natural feel and contour.
It allows for customized design by delicately supplementing deficient areas with fat while achieving the necessary volume through implants, depending on the body shape.
Hybrid hip augmentation is known as an approach that considers both natural-looking results and a three-dimensional hip line.
Types of Hip Augmentation Surgery: BI-VOL Hip Augmentation

BI-VOL hip augmentation, which has recently attracted attention, is an evolved concept beyond conventional volume-focused methods. Rather than simply increasing size, it is a customized hip surgery approach that also considers movement and tissue stability.
In particular, it is characterized by using biocompatible materials such as ADM (acellular dermis) to provide more stable tissue support while planning a design suited to the patient’s body shape and tissue characteristics.
By taking into account the material’s ability to naturally integrate with the tissue over time, a more natural feel and contour may be expected. Rather than emphasizing volume alone, it may help improve the overall balance and refinement of the backside.
Choosing the Method That Suits You
Is Most Important!

Hip augmentation surgery is not a procedure in which the same method is applied to everyone. The appropriate method may vary depending on body shape, pelvic structure, skin elasticity, fat volume, and the desired volume and contour.
Therefore, through sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis, it is important to choose the method most suitable for you among implants, autologous fat grafting, a hip lift, hybrid augmentation, and BI-VOL augmentation. Rather than creating excessively large volume, a design that harmonizes with the overall body shape can help improve satisfaction.

Sagging buttocks or insufficient volume can sometimes be difficult to improve through exercise alone. In such cases, hip augmentation surgery may help create a firmer and more three-dimensional backside. Since there are various options, including implants, autologous fat grafting, hip lifts, hybrid augmentation, and BI-VOL augmentation, choosing a method suited to your body shape and goals is especially important.
If an individualized surgical plan is developed based on sufficient consultation and an accurate diagnosis, a more natural and balanced hip line may be expected, and it may also help achieve a more satisfactory improvement in the appearance of the backside.
