Hip dips can be the cause of concern for you. When we look at bodies on television, especially female bodies, we come across half-circle silhouettes that slightly curve out at the hip and curve all the way back towards the thigh area. Although this might seem normal, not everyone has a body that looks like that. Hip dips refer to indentations around the curves.

The indentations happen when the skin on your sides becomes tightly attached to a deeper part of the thigh bone. Increased fat on the body can make the indentations seem more visible. Even though there is nothing wrong with hip dips as they do not present any medical risk, you might feel self-conscious about them. Thus, you might be wondering if you can get hip dips surgery to get rid of the indentations.  Silky Terrier Dog Breed Playing Around

What Is Hip Dips Surgery?

In the simplest of words, hip dips surgery is a cosmetic procedure that removes or injects fat from your hip and thigh region. Thus, the surgery strives to get rid of indentations towards the side of the hips to provide a curved line. Fat redistribution surgery is also known as lipo sculpting and it grafts fat to offer a smooth look.  

Procedure

If you decide to get hip dips surgery, it is important to note that it is an outpatient procedure. You may need to be put under general anesthesia depending on what your doctor recommends. 

Surgical Steps

• Firstly, fat would be removed from the body under a liposuction procedure. The fat would be removed from the inner thighs, stomach, or buttocks. In order to remove the fat, small incisions are necessary. Once the incisions are made, they will be stitched and bandaged. 
• Next, the fat would be prepared for reinjection into the body. The fat will be spun by a machine to remove the blood and other fluids.
• Then, the fat would be injected into the hip area. Stitches are not normally required at the injection area.

Aftercare

Now, even if you do not need to spend the night at the hospital, you are going to need someone to drive you back home after undergoing fat grafting. You may experience some pain at the incision sites for a few weeks once the fat has been transferred. 

Pain and bruising can last for up to 2 weeks or more. The result of the hip dips surgery might not be apparent immediately as it could take up to 6 months for it to come into full effect.

Who Makes For A Good Candidate?

Finally, you must be wondering who is a good candidate for hip dips surgery. 

Nonsmokers who are within 30% of ideal body weight who have no prior history of bleeding conditions and have highly responsive skin elasticity are ideal candidates. It is crucial that you discuss with the specialist before making any commitment. However, the surgery is low-risk and quite safe. Therefore, you do not have to worry.
