Hyacorp or Sculptra for hip dips, any suggestions? (Photos)

Question

I would like to get rid of my hips dips and give me more of a curved figure, I’ve looked into both options for non surgical. What are the real differences / pros and cons, or from my picture which do you think is the best treatment for me? Help!

Your volume requirements are too great for Sculptra, unless you have $100000 lying around at your disposal. Hyacorp has been designed for large area augmentation and priced accordingly. Sculptra, Bellafill, and Renuva are geared toward the face and its smaller volume requirements.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

sculptra can be combined with fillers to give you more improvement. bellafill, renuva, radiesse all can be used but will require large volume and only come in small amounts and may have risks at higher voume injections. sculptra will require a significant amount of injection to see some results and then need to be maintained. your best option is fat injection.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear harrietturley,

Thanks for sharing your photo. I understand the shape you are trying to achieve.

Hyacorp is a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel filler not currently available in the US. It appears to be packaged in 1 cc vials similar to those in the US. It would take dozens of vials per buttock to achieve the fill you wish and be very expensive.
Sculptra is a bio-active “filler” stimulating firming and tightening of the skin and soft tissues and requires several sessions of injectables to achieve an improvement.

You appear to have a firm, athletic butt and need volume to achieve the curvy fullness you are desirous of.
In the buttocks, the above will be helpful for laxity, dimples and minor volume improvements. 
I know you wish a “non-surgical” approach. The above are minimally invasive injectables.

Please consider: Consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to review:
	A BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), lipo-suction sculpting and fat harvesting from your trunk or maybe arms and thighs and fat grafting the buttock hollows, ie hip dips.
	Gluteal implants depending on the size you wish augmented. 
	Or, both. 
These are advanced procedures, please choose your surgeon carefully!
All the best!
