I often do liposuciton of the buttock/hips and then use the fat from other areas or this area to get and improved shape/contour and treat the cellulite and dimple/dents. I suggest you see an expert for a consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I have a lot of patients in which their ultimate goal is to have improve their overall figure. They want a snatched waist and fuller hips.  It is very common to have hollowness to your lateral butt and hip area. 
  
There are several methods to treat the hip dip area depending on the severity and the ultimate desired outcome.  The most common way to treat the hips and lateral butt is fat transfer as this is typically done in combination with liposculpting.  The liposuction of the flanks (love handles) and the fat transfer to the hips and lateral butt will help patients achieve more of an hourglass figure.  The combination of the making the waist as small as possible and enhancing the hips is what produces the figure that most of my patients’ desire! 
  
A new treatment is the use of Renuva, which is a processed fat.  The benefits of the Renuva is that is a filler that can be injected in the office similar to other fillers. The fact that it is processed fat it has the benefit of providing long-term augmentation.  The difficult part of the Renuva is that it can be costly when not used in a selective manor. Renuva tends to be a great option for hip augmentation touch-ups or to fill specific areas on the hips or lateral butt.  It is difficult to use Renuva for an entire butt augmentation.  
  
Sculptra is another great product that can be used to augment the hips or lateral buttock.  Like the Renuva it is typically best used to fill specific areas of the buttock or hips.  A large amount of product is needed to perform an entire butt augmentation.  The Sculptra stimulates the body to create collagen and typically gives results that last up to a year and half.  
  
There are several good options available to treat the hip dip and improve your overall figure. The options range from surgery to office procedures that can be performed in under an hour.  The office procedures are typically a process as the majority of patients will need several treatments over a period of time to achieve the results they desire.  
  
Please consult with your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon so that you he or she can discuss the options available to enhance your hips and ultimately improve your figure.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Yes, hips can be improved with a BBL, along with your buttocks, abdomen, flanks and back.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Hip dips can be improved by fat grafting provided one has enough fat to harvest to do so. Due to the tightness of the tissues over the trochanteric depressions of the hips, it may take more than one fat grafting procedure to get an optimal contour result.

Kenty Sian, MD · Answer

Areas of depression over your hips can be treated with fat grafting. Due to unpredictability of fat graft survival, multiple procedures may be required. Look for a board certified plastic surgeon in your area so that you can be properly evaluated.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

Lack of projection in this area can be treated with fat transfer. The main limiting factor is the lack of tissue to graft into in this area. For fat transfer to work successfully, there has to be a base or foundation in which to graft fat. As a general concept, an area can only be attempted to be doubled in size during any one fat grafting procedure. Of the fat grafted, approximately 50% will survive. If an area that is quite substantial only needs a small increase in volume to achieve the desired goals, then a single session of fat transfer will often be sufficient. Most people with significant hip dips have a very thin layer of subcutaneous in which to graft the fat and need a substantial amount of volume to get the ideal contour. This means that some patients have to accept the inherent limitations of the procedure or be willing to undergo multiple sessions of fat transfer, typically at least six months apart.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
