Ok so I am a 28 year old woman with no children (yet)... I have always had a nice size booty no real complaints there, however i do have what people call "hip dips" and they are pretty bad. I am 5'2 and my weight fluctuates between 140-152 usually. Most of this weight goes to my thighs and butt. I have struggled for years with the insecurity of wearing form fitting clothes around my hip area because the hip dips are so noticeable. I absolutely hate it. I have been reading reviews from different women here on realself for a few years and i have to say that this has really been a big help for me in deciding what I want to do. Sooo I decided on doing a Fat Transfer to my hips!!! I went to the consultation with Joseph Alkon, which costs $110, but goes towards the total final cost if you decided to go with him for the surgery. He was very polite and very real in the sense that he was honest about what the possible results could be. He did let me know that because my dips were so severe and my skin in that area so tight I might not get the exact results i was looking for. This news is a little disheartening but at least he was being realistic. I went ahead and scheduled my surgery for 6 weeks later.

Those indents on the side are often called hip dips.

Ouch!!! Hip dip sounds less......large......stick with hip dip and leave the "saddlebags" for horses

It looks like if you lost some weight the side dip you're talking about wouldn't be that noticable in my opinion.

ive always had that problem and it was always just as bad ... just a year ago i was weighing 126lbs and it was just the same

I've found its more noticeable when I'm leaner, theres less fat to fill in the "dip" part

really? so do you think they dont go away? I have them too and feel like the hip dips are fat pockets.

Mine are bone....it's like the way my pelvis is or something ...my mom would always poke them and say "ohh muffin top is showing" and be surprised that they weren't squishy she was poking my hip bone and joint

It may sound weird and I don't think it will completely cure 'the problem' but have you transferring really heavy on the butt and hips (while eating well and a lot)? I think filling in the hips with muscle and tightening the butt so it is more compact on the sides might make a pretty big difference. Try it for 2 months. pM if you want some suggestions for exercises. You will have to lift heavy.

I've never heard of a hip dip until now. I wish you the best and hope you are happy with your results. Please post pics.
