What are ways to fix hip indentation? (photos)

We see a lot of similar cases in our clinic. We treat indentations the same way we treat dimpling in that area. We do a combination of Sculptra and subcision.

Hello Aymedang. Your situation is perfect for Sculptra (see link). We do not like Sculptra as an alternative to a BBL, but we do love it to clean up little areas that are not smooth after the BBL.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing permanent indentations after your BBL surgery. Since a fat transfer is not an option, there are a few other options you can consider:

-Sculptra/Renuva: they are injectable semi-permanent fillers that respectively stimulates collagen or fat growth andcan be used to fill in depressions or indentations in the skin.

-Hyaluronic acid fillers: These are injectable fillers that can also be used to fill in indentations. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body, and the fillers are -typically well-tolerated.

-Surgical revision: In some cases, surgical revision may be necessary to correct the indentations. This can involve removing scar tissue or redistributing fat to improve the contour of the affected area.

-Laser treatment: Laser treatments can help to smooth out the skin and reduce the appearance of indentations.
It's important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience in correcting bbL complications to determine the best treatment option for you. They can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate course of action.


Best of luck !

Thank you for your question. If you do not have enough fat to perform a fat transfer procedure, there are still non-surgical options available that can help improve the appearance of hip indentations. Bellafill and Sculptra are both injectable fillers that can be used to add volume and contour to the treated area.

Bellafill is a long-lasting filler, and Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that gradually replaces lost collagen. Both of these non-surgical options can be very effective in improving hip indentations, and the best option for you will depend on your unique concerns and goals.

A fat transfer to the area would be best, but you could consider Sculptra. It is not a permanent fix and it may take a few treatment sessions to get you to the desired result. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more about your options.

I believe your hip dips are caused by the excess fat in the hip and saddle bag area. Once you reduce the projection of the hip roll, as well as the saddle bag, the hip dip will simply disappear. You will continue to be more round yet more proportionate. I don’t think that you need to put fat into your hip dip area as this will make you extremely wide and disproportionate. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
