A hip dip is a common and naturally occurring depression or indentation on the outside of the upper leg, just below the hip bone. It is common for hip dips to appear as large indentations on the hips for some people.

Your hip dips are mostly determined by your genetic skeletal anatomy, and your body’s fat distribution and muscle mass can influence their appearance. Particular factors such as the width of your hips, fat distribution, muscle mass, and distance between your anatomy are significant influences. The shape of your hips and buttocks, as well as the appearance of hip dips, are heavily influenced by these factors.

Contrary to popular belief, hip dips are commonly associated with lower body fat stores in these areas, since there is less fat to “fill” the gap. The ability to store fat in this area of the body is highly genetic and hormone-based, so you cannot control it. It is unlikely that building muscle mass in your glutes and gaining fat will completely eliminate hip dips.

Previously, there were only liposuction and fat transfers available for addressing these areas of the body, both of which are associated with high complication rates. Additionally, there is a lengthy recovery period to deal with. Now there are multiple safe & effective non-surgical options available, like Radiesse, Sculptra, and Renuva.

A number of body areas can be sculpted and volumized with the same products used for facial rejuvenation and contouring. These fillers can be used to fill and correct hip dips for a smoother, more streamlined appearance. With the Flawless Instant BBL & Hip Dip treatments, immediate improvement can be seen after one treatment, and depending on individual anatomy and desired results, multiple treatments can be done (spaced about four to six weeks apart).

At your treatment, you will be given aftercare instructions to follow for your best results. There is no downtime associated with fillers, unlike surgical fat transfer. Possible side effects are bruising and pain at the injection site, which will resolve naturally as you heal. We advise all patients to avoid blood thinners a week before any Flawless treatment.

With the Flawless Instant BBL using Radiesse, improvements will be immediately noticeable after treatment, with the full effect visible two-six months after the initial procedure, once collagen and elasticity have been fully produced; and the results are long-lasting. The staff and providers at Flawless MedSpa can discuss the steps that they can take, and the lifestyle changes they can make in order to ensure the most transformative and longest-lasting results. In addition to Radiesse, Flawless Medspas also offer Sculptra and Renuva as corrective options to better suit a larger range of patients. Contact us today for more information and to schedule!
