What Are Hip Dips?
Hip dips are inward curves on the outer hips, between the hip bone and the upper thigh. They are largely determined by the shape of your pelvis and thigh bone and by how your body stores fat, so they are normal and often do not change with exercise. If they bother you, hip dip surgery can smooth the contour. Dr. David Shokrian at Millennial Plastic Surgery in New York City can help you decide whether the procedure is right for you.

What Is Hip Dip Surgery?
Hip dip surgery is a cosmetic procedure to smooth out the appearance of your outer hips by adding volume. Essentially, it’s the opposite of hip liposuction, which extracts fat from your pelvic area for a slimmer profile. Hip dips surgery involves two parts:
- Fat harvesting. Taking fat from another part of your body, such as your abdomen or thighs
- Fat transfer. Transferring that fat to the bony part of your hips, called the trochanter
Why Should I Choose Surgery for Hip Dips?
The procedure eliminates the indentations in your hips, creating a more flattering shape. Surgery for hip dips offers many benefits, especially if that’s the one area of your body that you’re unhappy about. Benefits of the surgery include:
- Improved body contour.
- Increased choice of clothing.
Improved body contour.
Hip dip surgery smooths out the dips, creating a more even, curved look to your hips to complement your waist.


When done in combination with other procedures, the liposuction hips process creates a silhouette reminiscent of starlets from the past and sought-after figures in the present. Liposuction on the hips is a procedure appreciated by both men and women, but more commonly is sought by women.

Surgery to get rid of hip dips is a meticulous process that reshapes your figure in a transformative way. The steps involved in the hip dip surgery procedure include:
- You’re usually given general anesthesia to sleep through the entire procedure.
- Dr. Shokrian makes a small incision in a donor area, such as your thigh or abdomen.
- This NYC surgeon removes excess fat with liposuction, leaving the area smooth and balanced.
- The fat is transferred into a machine that separates the fat from the blood and other fluids.
- Your expert plastic surgeon uses a fat transfer technique to inject clear fat into the hip dip area, massaging the area to gently smooth out your hip.
- You usually don’t need stitches, although the incisions are bandaged to protect against infection.
The whole outpatient procedure takes between three and four hours. You need someone to drive you home once you’re released.
What Can I Expect after Surgery for Hip Dips?
Expect some soreness and swelling in the first days. Your surgeon will guide you on:
- Wearing a compression garment as directed
- Avoiding strenuous activity for about two weeks
- Contacting your surgeon about fever, signs of infection, or worsening pain
While recovery times vary, you can expect to return to everyday activities, including light exercise, after two to three weeks. Your final results appear as the swelling subsides. It may take up to six months to fully appreciate the changes. If your hip dip correction included AlloClae™ fat grafting, you may notice a smoother contour and more natural feel as the transferred fat settles.
