What procedures can permanently fix the space between high hips and buttocks (hip dips)? (Photos)

RLtorontoDec 10, 2017
 Are there synthetic filler options? I have the problem of high hips or "hip dips" as people call them. There is an indentation in my sides between my buttocks and my protruding hips and it usually worsens with weight gain. What procedures are available. Are there synthetic fillers other than fat? If I were to get a fat graft to give myself smooth sides, would weight gain or loss affect the results later? Would the "hip dips" return?

The swelling may temporarily aggravate this condition, but this is really more about the source of the sciatic pain, particularly if this is result of herniated disc or something remote from the location of BBL.  The sciatic nerve is easily avoided in fat placement,  as the injections are per...

No specific protocol for garments after surgery is recommended; ask the PS who performed your surgery what he/she would recommend. I ask my patients to a wear compression garment for six weeks to help obliterate dead space and reduce the incidence of fluid collections. Hence loose fitting attire...

That is a very common area for flattening due to normal anatomic pressure points.  Exercise is always good but in this case, it will not make much of a difference.  Additional fat transfer may help a little bit but you will have to mostly accept it as normal result especially in the face su...
