Is 6 syringes of Radiesse to hip dips (each side) enough to make a difference?

The answer is maybe. It depends a lot on how you respond and how deep the depressed area is. We have had remarkable success with our formulation of using radiesse in these areas.

Radiesse comes in 1.5cc syringes so 9cc would be the total volume. Radiesse is also temporary, lasting about 1 year on average. Hip dips require a large volume. On average in my practice about 200 to 400cc. Fat transfer is the best way to address hip dips.

Great question! Based on newer research and clinical protocols like the Buttocks Beautification 3D approach, the amount of Radiesse needed to correct contour issues — including hip dips — varies a lot depending on the number, depth, and distribution of dips.
In some cases, 6 syringes total (3 per side) can create a visible improvement, especially if the dips are mild to moderate. However, for deeper or multiple dips, additional syringes or staged treatments may be needed for optimal, smooth contouring. Radiesse not only adds immediate volume but also stimulates collagen over time, so results often continue to improve for months after treatment.
