Hip Augmentation Surgery at WIH Hospital: Sculpting Balanced and Beautiful Curves

Achieve the fuller, more contoured hips with advanced Hip Augmentation surgery at WIH Hospital. Our board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in creating natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing hip enhancements. Whether you’re looking to correct “hip dips,” improve overall body proportion, or achieve a more hourglass figure, we offer fat transfer and hip implants to help you feel more confident and harmonious in your silhouette.

What is Hip Augmentation?

Hip Augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase the fullness, width, and projection of the hips or to improve their overall shape and contour. The goal is to create a smoother, curvier transition from the waist to the thighs. This can be achieved surgically by adding volume using the patient’s own fat or biocompatible implants, or non-surgically using injectable dermal fillers.

Types of Hip Augmentation Offered at WIH Hospital

     Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting to Hips)

     Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas with excess deposits (such as the abdomen, flanks, back, or thighs). This harvested fat is then carefully processed and purified. Then injected in multiple layers into the hip region for a natural, long-lasting result.

Recovery: swelling, bruising, and soreness in the hip area are normal. Adherence to positioning guidelines is crucial. Assistance with daily activities will be needed.

     Non-Surgical Hip Augmentation (Filler Injection) Technique at WIH Hospital

     At WIH International Hospital, whether due to insufficient fat for grafting or a preference for less invasive solutions, we offer non-surgical hip augmentation using advanced dermal fillers. These options provide subtle, natural-looking volume without the need for surgery or prolonged downtime.

Recovery: Minimal downtime is expected. You can usually resume most normal activities shortly after the procedure.

     Combined Hip Augmentation with Buttock implants

     This technique involves placing Buttock implants to achieve the primary desired volume and projection, followed by fat grafting around the implants and surrounding areas.

Recovery: Recovery may be longer compared to fat transfer alone.

     Combined Hip Augmentation with Brazilian Buttock Lift

     At WIH International Hospital, we offer hip augmentation combined with Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) for patients seeking a balanced and curvaceous silhouette. This advanced procedure involves fat transfer to the hip and buttock regions.

Recovery: The recovery period may take around 2-3 weeks.

FAQ

Yes, the goal is always to achieve natural-looking results that are harmonious with your body. Fat transfer generally provides a very natural look and feel.

You will experience discomfort, soreness, swelling, and bruising after surgery. This is typically most pronounced in the first week and is managed with prescribed pain medication. The level of pain varies by individual and technique

This is a critical instruction. For fat transfer, you’ll likely need to avoid direct, prolonged pressure on your hips for at least 2-3 weeks, possibly longer, to maximize fat survival. This means sleeping on your stomach or sides and using special cushions when sitting. For implants, specific positioning instructions will also be given to protect the healing area.

You’ll see an immediate change, but initial swelling will obscure the outcome. Significant swelling subsides over weeks to months. For fat transfer, it can take 3-6 months for the final volume to stabilize, as some fat is reabsorbed.

Hip dips are indentations on the side of the hips, just below the hip bone, often due to bone structure and muscle insertions. Hip augmentation, particularly with fat transfer, is very effective at filling these dips to create a smoother, more rounded outer hip contour.

Hip implants provide a permanent change in shape and volume, though factors like aging can still affect surrounding tissues. With fat transfer, the fat cells that survive the transfer process and establish a blood supply are generally permanent.
