I have hip dips. It's see pretty deep because it is noticeable when I wear clothes. I am getting a BBL in Dec and I’m so scared that my hip dips will be back after a while. What are the tips for my hip dips to be gone forever? Should I start working out to correct them now before I go? Or it won’t matter? I’m considering cancelling the surgery if my hip dips will come back because that’s the part I hate the most. I heard if you don’t smoke it should last. Is that true? I’ve never been a smoker.
Answer: I want my hip dips gone forever. How can I make sure my fat survives in my hip dips? Fat transfer may be a very reasonable choice based upon your description and goals. Photos would be helpful in determining if you have areas of fat that be harvested and transferred to the buttock. Typically 50% of the fat that is transferred obtains permanence so you may need more than one fat transfer to completely fill the hollow space.

Answer: Hip dips with fat survival Thank you for your question. A fat transfer should be able to resolve your issue with hip dips. Unfortunately there is no guarantee with fat survival when it comes to fat transfers. As long as you are going to a qualified Plastic Surgeon and following post op instructions you should have more fullness and an improved contour. With my patients I recommend not sitting or laying on their butt or sides for 6 weeks post op. Most research on the procedure suggest fat cells should be stable after that period. Using a BBL pillow to assist with driving and sitting so you won't compromise your results would be a great buy if the office doesn't offer that. As long as you follow post op instructions recommended by your surgeon and maintain your results with healthy diet and exercise they shouldn't come back. However, it is important to keep in mind the body is always changing and fat loss or gain is normal as we age. Working out is great before and after surgery but it won't necessarily give you surgical results or increase fat in that area. It is true that smokers have more difficult recovery, have a higher risk of complication, and reduced fat survival so that fact that you are not a smoker is awesome!

Answer: Return of the hip dips The reason hip dips return or are not always successfully treated with fat transfer is that area tends to be very thin as hands like post tissue to support high volume fat graft.
