Sculptra for hip dips - Would this work on me? (photo)

emilyh93Mar 3, 2020
I have been so self conscious of my hip dips for a long time. I have tried the gym to fix them but it is not possible. I am slim so fat grafting is not an option. I also see that hip implants seem to not be done in the UK. I am now looking at my only option which is sculptra. Would this work on me? Looking at my photos it looks like I have fat above my hips but it’s actually muscle. Does anyone have any idea how much I would need? I want to fill in my hip dips and also make my hips a little wider.

If the injection is in the face, it should be fine but if the injection in for gluteal area, I totally advise against it.

As Sculptra is a collagen builder, not a filler it will add lift and volume to the treatment area by producing and stimulating your own collagen. It used to provide a strong “lasting” foundation that over time will add natural volume and contouring to the treated area, where an HA filler like...

For Non-Invasive fat loss I recommend Trusculpt. It is one of the most effective treatment (non-invasive) on the market today. Combining coolsculpting with Trusculpt can help you achieve even better results (Fire & Ice Treatment). See an expert for a consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Once sculptra is in the skin the skin responds by producing collagen. If you are unhappy with the results, it will take 1-2 years for that specific area to subside. You can camouflage the are with other fillers or use sculptra around to make the area more contoured. I suggest you see an expert...
