Enjoy Smooth, Feminine Contours

“Hip dips” are the inward curves just below the hip bone that create a dip between the hips and thighs. While completely natural and determined by bone structure, many people feel that hip dips interrupt their desired smooth, hourglass silhouette. Hip dip correction with Dr. Guy Cappuccino uses advanced liposuction and fat transfer techniques to restore symmetry and create softer, more balanced curves. Serving patients in Mount Airy and Frederick since 2008, Dr. Cappuccino brings surgical artistry, safety, and a patient-first approach to every procedure.

What Is Hip Dip Correction?

Hip dip correction is a body contouring procedure that combines two proven techniques:

  • Liposuction: Removes unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
  • Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting): Purified fat is carefully injected into the “dip” areas along the outer hip and thigh junction, filling the hollow and creating a smoother contour.

This dual approach uses your own natural tissue, avoiding implants and providing results that look and feel like you.

Benefits of Hip Dip Correction

  • Smoother Silhouette: Fills in hip dips for a more continuous, hourglass curve.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Uses your own fat to enhance shape without implants.
  • Dual Sculpting Effect: Combines slimming liposuction with targeted fat grafting.
  • Customizable Contouring: The amount of fat transfer is tailored to your body and goals.
  • Long-Lasting Enhancement: With proper care, many transferred fat cells remain permanently.

Who Is a Candidate for Hip Dip Correction?

You may be a good candidate if you are bothered by noticeable inward curves below your hips, have enough fat available for transfer, and are already at or near a healthy weight but would like improved contour rather than weight loss. This procedure is also appealing to individuals who prefer a natural, implant-free enhancement using their own fat.

Patients with more significant skin laxity may benefit from additional body contouring procedures for the best outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Cappuccino will carefully evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine if hip dip correction is the right approach for you.

The Hip Dip Correction Procedure

Consultation

We’ll evaluate your anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and map the best donor sites for liposuction.

Surgery

The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia. First, liposuction removes excess fat from the waist, abdomen, or thighs. The fat is purified and then carefully injected into the hip dip areas, layering the grafts for smooth, natural curves.

Timeframe

Surgery usually takes a few hours, depending on the amount of liposuction and grafting performed.

Recovery & Results

Most patients can return to light activity within about one week, while more strenuous exercise is generally possible after four to six weeks. Bruising and swelling are common during the first one to two weeks and gradually fade as healing progresses. A compression garment is typically worn for several weeks to support the new contours and optimize recovery. Results are visible immediately, but your final shape will continue to refine as swelling resolves. The fat cells that survive the transfer process become a permanent part of your body’s contour, offering long-lasting enhancement.

Hip Dip Correction FAQ

Will the fat transfer last?

Where will liposuction be performed?

How is this different from hip implants?

How much downtime should I expect?

Can hip dip correction be combined with other procedures?

Will the fat transfer last?

Yes. Fat cells that successfully establish a blood supply become permanent. Some resorption is expected, so touch-up grafting may occasionally be recommended.

Where will liposuction be performed?

Common donor sites include the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs. The location depends on where you have excess fat available.

How is this different from hip implants?

Unlike implants, fat grafting uses your own tissue for a softer, more natural look and feel.

How much downtime should I expect?

Plan for about one week off work and up to 4–6 weeks before resuming all activities.

Can hip dip correction be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients combine it with Brazilian Butt Lift, tummy tuck, or other body contouring procedures for comprehensive reshaping.
