How to Get Rid of Hip Dips with a Minimally Invasive Surgery

Hip dip-focused cosmetic procedures are designed to inject or remove fat between the outer thigh area and love handles. The surgery aims to eliminate the indentations known as hip dips above the outer thigh to form a smooth line from your hips to the thigh.

Here, we'll explain all that you need to know about hip dip surgery and its minimally invasive alternatives. We'll also consider the risks and potential complications so you can obtain a broad idea of what the whole procedure entails.

Hip Dips: What Are They?

The popular representation of the female body has us used to seeing a slim, half-circle silhouette known as the 'hourglass figure.

While marketing has made the hourglass figure 'normal' or the desirable way to look, it's not that common. People's bodies naturally don't look like that.

Hip dips refer to the indentations that form around the curvature between your hips and thighs. They occur when the skin on the side of your hips is tightly against the trochanter bone, the deepest part of the thigh bone.

The distribution and amount of fat on your body make these indentations more noticeable.

That being said, there's nothing wrong with having hip dips; they don't pose any risk to your health other than potentially making you feel self-conscious.

Hip Dips Surgery

Hip dips surgery is a fat transfer surgery designed to suction fat from one body area and inject it into the trochanter area. This will ultimately help you fill out those hip dips, providing you with a smooth curvature at the hips.

Another way of treating hip dips is by just removing fat from the hip area to create the curvature if the indentation isn't so deep.

Minimally Invasive Procedures Are Better

The average fat transfer to hips surgery uses invasive liposuction techniques and could pose certain medical complications if performed by an inexperienced surgeon.

If you want to know how to get rid of hip dips without these invasive surgery characteristics, opt for the AirSculpt® Hip Flip™ by Elite Body Sculpture. This minimally invasive procedure doesn't even use a scalpel, needle, stitches, or general anesthesia.
