Lipofilling

Natural Hip Enhancements: What You Need to Know

A hip augmentation surgery aims to sculpt your hips to increase their width. This is traditionally achieved either by hip implants or a liposuction-based fat transfer.

Both methods will give patients an hourglass shape with the trademark curves any would wish for. Given that exercise and diet cannot produce curves, the procedures have gained much popularity.

These procedures are ideal for those that want to fill out hip dips, the depressions formed between the hip and thigh bones. Read this article to gain the necessary information to determine which procedure is best for you.

The Benefits And Unwanted Consequences of Hip Enhancements

The pros of hip enhancements are the following:

Hip implants and a hip fat transfer can form a curvy, hourglass shape.
Hip implants are best for patients with lower body fat levels.
Hip fat transfers are the ideal choice for patients with a higher body fat percentage.
Hip fat transfers also have the advantage of contouring more areas of the body at once.

The cons of hips enhancements are the following:

After the procedure, you'll have to undergo a week or two of downtime and about six weeks to recover fully.
Implants can cause adverse effects to your immune system if your body rejects them.

The Method of Hip Implants Surgery

Hip implants are made from silicone rubber, a material similar to that used for buttocks implants.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia so you can be fully asleep. Small incisions will be placed under the beltline, and the implants will be set below the subcutaneous fascia layer.

The incisions are then closed with sutures and dressed. It's an outpatient procedure, so you should be able to return to your home the very same day.

Natural Hip Enhancements

There are many natural hip enhancements that you can choose from. But we're here to tell you which is best: the AirSculpt® Hip Flip™ by Elite Body Sculpture.

The minimally invasive procedure fills in the hip indentations using your fat without a scalpel, needle, stitches, or general anesthesia, factors that traditional lipo-based hip enhancements usually require.

Our patented process skips the needles using an AirPen, a patented device that administers numbing medication using pressurized air differentials. A biopsy punch forms a symmetrical two-millimeter opening, which heals seamlessly, without stitches, to look like a freckle.

Next, the fat is prepared and then removed with a patented AirSculpt® cannula. The cannula is finally placed into reverse mode for the hip augmentation step, with the fat strategically injected into the hips to fill out the hip dips.

This treatment requires much less fat than a BBL, meaning skinnier patients can get this hourglass treatment too. The precise, power-automated nature of AirSculpt allows us to remove and transfer cell-by-cell, ensuring fewer side effects and more balanced results than any competitor.
