Hip dip fat grafting, also known as autologous fat transfer to the hips, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the contour and symmetry of the hips by filling in the natural indentations commonly referred to as "hip dips." The procedure involves harvesting fat from areas of the body where it is in surplus, such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, through liposuction. The collected fat is then processed to purify and concentrate the fat cells, removing excess fluids and impurities. This ensures that only the healthiest fat cells are used for transfer, increasing the likelihood of successful integration and long-term results.

Once the fat is prepared, the surgeon carefully injects it into the hips using a series of small, precise injections. The goal is to sculpt a smoother, more curvaceous hip contour while maintaining a natural appearance. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of fat grafting required and patient preference. Post-procedure, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Results can be seen immediately, though the final outcome is usually apparent after the swelling has fully resolved, which may take several months. Follow-up appointments are essential to ensure proper healing and to evaluate the need for any additional treatments.
