Will implants help to get rid of hip dips and make my buttocks more rounded? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I would like to enlarge my buttocks and get rid of hip dips. I don't think I have enough fat to transplant into my buttocks. Will implants help to get rid of hip dips and make my buttocks more rounded?

Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photos. However, please keep in mind that an in-person consultation with physical exam, or at least a virtual consultation, is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations are made.

Buttock implants occasionally provide the added feminine heart-shaped curves that many patients are looking for. However this is mostly only when viewing the postoperative result from the back side . When trying to achieve an hourglass figure viewed from the front side of the body, actual cosmetic hip implants need to be placed either at the same time or instead of buttock implants.

Please read on.

In general, cosmetic hip implants are the most reliable, predictable, and permanent option for filling in the hip dips and creating more of that feminine hourglass figure, whether slim or not.  On the other hand, fat transfer to the hip area tends to survive quite poorly in most patients and thus produces only short term results (often less than 10-12 months). Injections/fillers such as Sculptra or hyaluronic acids are cost prohibitive (i.e. guaranteed to be the biggest waste of money of your entire lifetime), short lasting and possibly deadly with high volume injections. Other more permanent fillers such as silicone/PMMA/hydrogels/etc are cheap but extremely dangerous and a personal commitment to a life of serious and sometimes deadly consequences. Typically hip implants are best custom designed and created for each individual patient’s anatomy.

Because an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons perform buttock and/or hip implant procedures, make sure you only seek consultation with a reputable and experienced surgeon.  You very well may have to travel a long distance from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.
