Worried About a Straight-Looking Pelvis · Straight-Shaped Body? Can Hip-Dip Fillers Change Your Pelvic Line? image 1

Hello,

This is 제이필의원, where we help you create your most beautiful look.

“I don’t think my pelvis is particularly narrow,

but whenever I wear fitted clothes, my body looks straight.”

“I have a defined waist,

but somehow my pelvic line doesn’t stand out.”

If you have concerns like these,

there is no need to look only at whether your pelvis is wide or narrow.

The appearance of a straight-looking pelvis

is influenced not only by the width of the pelvic bones, but also by the position and depth of the hip dips, the volume at the sides of the pelvis, the outer line of the buttocks, and the line continuing down to the thighs.

If you are concerned about a straight-looking pelvis,

look at the overall line first

When we look at people who are concerned about a straight-looking pelvis,

in many cases, the pelvis itself is not particularly narrow.

Rather,

the line from the waist to the pelvis,

and from the pelvis to the thighs,

may appear to fall flat.

In particular, if the sides of the pelvis are hollow

or the hip dips are deep,

the sides of the pelvis may look empty when viewed from the front,

making the entire lower body feel even straighter.

What is important in this situation

is not simply making the pelvis larger.

First, it is important to determine which areas of your body

are causing the line to appear interrupted.

The reason it looks like a straight pelvis

is not always the same

The visible pelvic line

is not determined solely by the width of the pelvic bones.

From the waistline

to the volume at the sides of the pelvis, the position and depth of the hip dips,

the angle of the outer buttock line, and the line continuing to the thighs,

various elements work together to create the silhouette.

For example, if the waist is slim

but the hip dips at the sides of the pelvis are deep,

the side line can look indented inward

even if the actual pelvis is not narrow,

making the pelvis feel as though it falls straight down when viewed from the front.

Conversely, even if the hip dips themselves are not pronounced,

an overall lack of volume at the sides of the pelvis

can create the impression of a straight line

from the waist down to the thighs, without much curvature.

In addition, if the pelvic lines differ from side to side

or one hip dip is noticeably deeper,

the overall silhouette may look flat or asymmetrical.

Therefore, if you are concerned about a straight-looking pelvis,

rather than simply thinking, “It’s because my pelvis is narrow,”

it is better to examine where the line is hollow

and where the connection appears interrupted.

If hip dips are the cause,

the pelvic line may look different

Hip dips refer to the line where the area from the side of the pelvis to the thigh

appears to curve inward.

If the hip dips are deep,

the sides of the pelvis may look empty from the front,

and the curve from the waist to the thighs

may appear to break once in the middle.

Although they may not usually be a major concernㅋ,

they often become particularly noticeable

when wearing clothing that reveals the body’s silhouette,

such as leggings or a slim-fitting dress.

For this type of body shape,

rather than greatly increasing the volume of the entire buttocks,

it may be more suitable to naturally supplement the connecting line

between the hip dips and the sides of the pelvis.

However, caution is needed when focusing

on filling only the single deepest indentation.

If you do not consider the upper pelvic line

and the connecting line leading down to the lower thigh as well,

the result may look less like a naturally wider pelvis

and more like one specific area protruding noticeably.

A straight-looking pelvis

does not automatically require a large amount of filler

“Don’t you need a lot of filler

to make the pelvis look wider?”

Many people think this way.

However, the required amount

may depend not simply on the size of the pelvis,

but on how wide an area is hollow and how deeply it is indented.

If the hip dip is deep

within a relatively narrow area,

supplementing the areas that need it

may be enough to notice a change in the line.

Conversely, if a broad area from the sides of the pelvis to the thighs

is generally flat,

a small amount may not produce a noticeable change

to the extent you had expected.

Therefore,

rather than asking,

“How many cc are needed to make my pelvis look wider?”

it is better to first determine whether the hip dips are your main concern,

whether there is an overall lack of volume at the sides of the pelvis,

and whether the outer line of the buttocks should also be considered.

Why the change may feel

smaller than expected after the procedure

After receiving hip-dip fillers,

some people may feel,

“It doesn’t seem to have changed as much as I expected.”

In such cases, it is important to check whether

the change you expected differed from the area that was actually supplemented.

For example, your concern may have been

“a straight-looking pelvis when viewed from the front,”

but if only the single deepest point of the hip dip

was supplemented with a small amount,

it may be difficult to notice a substantial change

in which the entire pelvis looks clearly wider from the front.

Conversely,

if you only want to naturally smooth the indentation of the hip dip

but excessively increase the volume at the sides of the pelvis,

the result may not suit your body shape

or may feel unnatural.

Ultimately, the important thing

is to clearly determine the direction of the change you want.​

When consulting, describe the line you want specifically

Before your consultation,

rather than vaguely thinking, “I want to make my pelvis look wider,”

it is better to organize the changes you want in more specific terms.

For example:

“I would like my hip dips to be less noticeable than they are now.”

“I would like the line at the sides of my pelvis to stand out a little more from the front.”

“I would like the line from my pelvis to my thighs to connect naturally when I wear fitted clothes.”

Speaking in this way

can help determine which areas should be examined

and guide the consultation.

If pelvic padding looked awkward,

check the ‘position’

Because they are concerned about a straight-looking pelvis,

some people try pelvic pads or padded underwear first.

However, if the position where the pad sits

differs from the actual location of the hollow at the side of your pelvis,

the side may suddenly look like it is protruding,

or the edge of the pad may become even more noticeable

when wearing fitted clothes.

In such cases, rather than simply viewing it as

“a lack of volume,”

it is important to check where volume needs to be added

to create a natural curve for your body shape.​

Hip-dip fillers and pelvic fillers:

You should also check the possible side effects

When looking into hip-dip fillers or pelvic fillers,

you should check not only the changes to the line,

but also possible side effects and the recovery process.

After the procedure, depending on the individual,

swelling, bruising, and soreness may occur,

and changes related to the line or texture,

such as unevenness, a foreign-body sensation, or differences between the two sides,

may also be possible.

In particular, if too much volume is concentrated in one area,

the line from the pelvis to the thigh may look less smooth

and instead appear to bulge noticeably in just one spot.

If pain becomes increasingly severe after the procedure,

or if unusual symptoms such as heat, changes in skin color, or increasing swelling occur,

it is advisable to contact the medical institution where you received the procedure for evaluation.

Before your consultation, check these points

If you are looking into hip-dip fillers or pelvic fillers

because of a straight-looking pelvis,

check the following before your consultation.

Does the appearance I perceive as a straight-looking pelvis show from the front or the side?

Are my hip dips similar on both sides, or is one side deeper?

Am I more concerned about the line at the sides of my pelvis than the volume of my entire buttocks?

Where does my body look most hollow when I wear fitted clothes?

If possible, preparing a photo taken while wearing the clothes

in which your pelvic line usually concerns you most,

or a reference photo similar to the silhouette you want,

may also help with the consultation.

Rather than saying, “Please make my pelvis wider,”

it is much easier to communicate your concerns

by explaining them specifically, such as:

“The area looks like it falls straight down when viewed from the front.”

“Because of the hip dip, the connecting line between my pelvis and thigh looks interrupted.”

제이필의원 looks at the entire silhouette

rather than just the ‘pelvic size’

At 제이필의원,

we do not view a straight-looking pelvis simply as a problem of pelvic width.

We assess the position and depth of the hip dips, hollowness at the sides of the pelvis, left-right asymmetry,

and the overall line continuing from the waist through the pelvis to the thighs,

then discuss a design suited to your body shape.

Although they may look like similar straight-looking pelvises on the outside,

hip dips may be the main cause for one person,

while another may have an overall lack of volume at the sides of the pelvis.

In other cases,

the proportions continuing from the outer line of the buttocks to the thighs

may also need to be examined.

Therefore, the areas requiring treatment and the appropriate amount

may also vary depending on the individual’s body shape.

A straight-looking pelvis:

Making it larger is not always the answer

Even if you are concerned about a straight-looking pelvis,

there is no need to automatically make the entire pelvis larger.

The area that needs to be supplemented differs

depending on whether the straight appearance is caused by hip dips,

hollowness at the sides of the pelvis,

or insufficient volume at the outer line of the buttocks.

In particular, if hip dips are the main cause,

rather than looking only at the deepest indentation,

considering the line continuing from the side of the pelvis to the thigh

may help the overall silhouette appear smoother.

Ultimately, what matters

is not how much is filled,

but accurately identifying where your body looks hollow

and what kind of line you want.

※ Whether the procedure is suitable, the appropriate amount, the changes that can be expected, the duration of maintenance, and the recovery process may vary depending on the individual’s body shape and skin condition, the product used, the injection volume, and the treatment area.

Symptoms such as swelling, bruising, pain, a foreign-body sensation, unevenness, and differences between the two sides may occur after the procedure, so please make your decision after a sufficient consultation.

※ The effects and recovery process of every procedure may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and the type of procedure.
