How Does Liposuction Help in Addressing Hip Dips?

by | Published on Mar 12, 2025 | Hip Liposuction

Are you bothered about your hip dips or violin hips? Then you are not alone. Many women are getting cosmetic surgery to address this aesthetic concern and achieve a smoother, more contoured silhouette. While hip dips are a natural indentation in the hips, the desire for rounder lower body contours is driving the demand for laser liposuction. By removing excess fat from areas surrounding the hip dips, liposuction helps to create a smoother, more even silhouette. Skilled plastic surgeons perform laser lipolysis using minimally invasive Smartlipo technology and combine it with fat redistribution for effective hip dip correction.

Hip Dips Explained

So, what exactly are violin hips and what causes them?

Hip dips are a natural indentation in the hips influenced by genetics, bone shape, fat distribution, and muscle definition. The inward curve between the hip bone and the upper thigh can create a dip or depression between these structures. Though this is perfectly normal and unlikely to affect joint and muscle function, many individuals are bothered by these curves.

Exercise targeting glutes and hip muscles is often recommended to address this cosmetic concern. When losing weight and building muscle in the lower body don’t work, liposuction along with fat transfer or liposculpture, can reduce the appearance of hip dips.

How Liposuction can help Reduce Hip Dips and Enhance Body Shape

Liposuction can be an effective solution for addressing hip dips, those natural indentations on the sides of the hips. By removing excess fat from areas surrounding the hip dips, liposuction helps to create a smoother, more even silhouette. The procedure:

  • Removes the fat deposits that contribute to the appearance of hip dips
  • Redistributes the fat in a way that enhances the natural curve of the body

While laser lipo is not a permanent fix for all cases, it offers a minimally-invasive alternative to more complex surgeries, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime. Waist and back liposculpture enhances curves in the waist and create a more harmonious contour. For individuals looking to achieve a more sculpted and balanced figure, liposuction can be a highly effective method to improve the appearance of the hips.

Expert plastic surgeons also recommend a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) along with 360° liposuction to improve the appearance of hip dips. BBL 360° involves liposuction targeting the entire midsection to remove stubborn fat all around. The purified fat is transferred to the buttocks and hips to improve volume, contour and butt projection, creating a fuller, more sculpted look.

Benefits of Hip Laser Liposuction

With extensive experience in hip contouring and fat redistribution, skilled plastic surgeons can provide excellent results.

The benefits of laser liposuction for hip dip correction include:

  • Efficient fat removal and addition
  • Enhanced feminine hips
  • Smoother transition from waist to hips
  • A trimmer midsection
  • An attractive “hourglass” figure
  • Natural-looking, long-lasting results with your own fat

Recovery

After liposuction for improving hip contour, recovery takes a few days, and you can expect to feel mild discomfort, bruising, swelling, and redness. While most patients return to work a few days after the procedure, avoiding strenuous activities is important till healing is complete. Wearing a compression garment for a few weeks as instructed will help reduce the swelling faster and support healing.

In most cases, final results are visible in about four weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding over the next two weeks. Following your surgeon’s instruction carefully is crucial for smooth recovery and optimal outcomes.

Choose an Expert Plastic Surgeon

If you’re considering sculpting hip dips with liposuction, it’s important to find a well-qualified and experienced liposuction surgeon to perform the procedure. Only a surgeon with expertise in hip liposuction and fat redistribution can help you achieve your body contouring goals safely and effectively.
