Hip Dip Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost
What is Hip Dip Correction?
Hip dip correction, also known as hip augmentation or hip contouring, is a cosmetic procedure that smooths out the inward curves between the hip bone and upper thigh. Also called "violin hips," hip dips are a natural part of human anatomy, but some individuals prefer a fuller, rounder hip line for a more sculpted hourglass figure. Correction methods include fat grafting (lipofilling), dermal fillers, or silicone implants to add volume and improve contour.
At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, our board-certified surgeons offer personalized hip dip correction treatments that enhance body balance and symmetry. Whether you choose natural fat transfer or a long-lasting filler solution, our team ensures results that are smooth, proportionate, and tailored to your body shape goals.
Who is a Good Candidate for Hip Dip Correction?
You may be a good candidate for hip dip correction if you:
✔ Have noticeable inward curves between the hip bone and thigh
✔ Desire a smoother, rounder, and more feminine hip contour
✔ Are in good overall health with stable weight
✔ Have sufficient fat for grafting or prefer a filler-based solution
✔ Seek a natural-looking improvement in lower body proportions

How is Hip Dip Correction Performed?
1. Consultation & Evaluation
• Physical assessment and 3D body scan to evaluate fat distribution, muscle contour, and pelvic structure
• Discussion of desired silhouette—whether aiming for a smooth hourglass figure or enhanced curves
• Evaluation of body fat availability (for fat grafting) and skin elasticity
• Consultation may include options for fat transfer vs. filler-based volume enhancement
2. Treatment Approach
• Depending on anatomy and goals, the following methods may be used:
–
Autologous Fat Grafting (BBL-style Transfer): Fat is liposuctioned from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purified, and injected precisely into the hip dip area for natural contouring
–
Dermal Fillers (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid or Sculptra): Used for patients with limited fat or seeking a non-surgical approach; enhances volume gradually and safely
–
Hip Implants: A more permanent option for those with very low body fat, involving silicone implants surgically placed under the muscle
• Most procedures are done under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the method
3. Recovery & Aftercare
• Mild swelling, soreness, or bruising around the hips and donor areas (if fat grafting) is normal for the first 1–2 weeks
• Compression garments are worn to reduce swelling and support new contours
• Avoid direct pressure on the hips for 1–2 weeks (e.g., side sleeping or tight clothing)
• For filler-based treatments, minor soreness may last 1–3 days, and results improve gradually over 1–2 weeks
• Follow-up visits ensure proper fat retention and even contour distribution
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery Timeline:
•
Fat Grafting: Swelling lasts 1–2 weeks; volume settles in 1–2 months
•
Filler Injections: Minor discomfort for 1–3 days; no downtime
•
Return to Daily Life: 3–7 days depending on treatment type
•
Final Contour Results: Fully visible after 1–3 months, with some fat resorption expected in grafting
Adhering to aftercare—especially avoiding pressure on the hips and wearing support garments—is crucial for long-lasting, symmetrical results.
