Hip Augmentation at WIH Hospital – Achieve a Fuller, Curvier Hip Silhouette

At WIH Hospital, we specialize in hip augmentation, a procedure that focuses on enhancing the sides of the hips to create a fuller, more rounded shape. Unlike buttock augmentation, which adds volume to the gluteal area, hip augmentation targets the sides of the hips to improve curves, address hip dips, and achieve a more balanced hip-to-waist ratio. Our expert team offers both surgical and non-surgical hip augmentation options, tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals.

Why Choose Hip Augmentation?

Many patients seek hip augmentation for reasons such as:

Enhancing the Hip-to-Waist Ratio: Those with naturally slim hips often desire a more pronounced hourglass shape.
Filling Hip Dips: Hip dips, or trochanteric depressions, are natural inward curves between the hip bones and thighs. Hip augmentation fills these areas to create a smoother, rounded appearance.
Gender Affirmation: For gender-affirming purposes, hip augmentation can widen the hip area to create a more feminine, balanced look that aligns with the patient’s identity.

Good Candidates for Hip Augmentation
Ideal candidates for hip augmentation at WIH Hospital are healthy individuals with realistic expectations for the results. Those considering the surgical option (fat grafting) should have sufficient body fat for transfer, typically from areas like the abdomen or thighs.

Hip Augmentation Options at WIH Hospital

1. Surgical Hip Augmentation – Fat Grafting (Hip Dip Treatment)
Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting): This procedure involves harvesting fat from areas with excess deposits, purifying it, and then injecting it into the hip area for natural, long-lasting enhancement. Fat grafting not only enhances hip contours but also improves body proportions by slimming other areas.

Recovery: Fat grafting requires a recovery period of 1-2 weeks. Patients should avoid putting pressure on the hips to ensure optimal fat survival. Temporary bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the donor and injection sites are common, and compression garments may be recommended for additional support.

2. Non-Surgical Hip Augmentation with Fillers
For patients who prefer a non-invasive approach or do not have enough body fat for grafting, non-surgical hip augmentation with dermal fillers offers a convenient alternative. This option smooths hip dips and adds volume without surgery or downtime.

Sculptra: This filler contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, creating long-lasting volume in the hip area over several months. Sculptra is ideal for those looking for gradual, subtle enhancement.

Radiesse: Made of calcium hydroxylapatite, Radiesse provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen for long-term results. It’s ideal for patients seeking instant fullness with ongoing improvement.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Hip Augmentation:

Minimal Downtime: Patients can typically resume normal activities, including exercise, the day after treatment.

Immediate and Gradual Results: Radiesse offers immediate volume, while Sculptra builds fullness gradually for natural-looking enhancement.
Customizable and Reversible: The amount of filler can be adjusted across sessions, offering flexibility to achieve the desired look over time.
Combined Procedures for Comprehensive Lower Body Enhancement
For those seeking to enhance both the hips and buttocks, WIH Hospital offers combined procedures for a cohesive, balanced transformation:

Hip Augmentation with Buttock Implants: Combining hip augmentation with buttock implants creates fuller hips and a rounder buttock shape, achieving a more defined hourglass silhouette.
Hip Augmentation with Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): This combination uses fat transfer to enhance both the hips and buttocks, resulting in a natural, harmonious contour across the lower body.
These combined options allow patients to achieve a comprehensive enhancement, focusing on both lateral and posterior curves to create ideal body proportions.
