What Is Hip Liposuction?
Hip liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat from the hip area to improve body contour and shape. It specifically targets fat deposits on the outer hips and flanks, permanently removing fat cells to create a slimmer, more defined waistline.
Hip dips, the natural inward curves between the hip and thigh, have become a growing trend in body enhancement. Hip liposuction transforms the appearance of hip dips by refining the transition between the waist, hips, and thighs, creating a smoother, more sculpted silhouette. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to streamline the hips and waistline, reduce excess fullness, and create a more balanced, youthful profile.
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we understand how bulky or disproportionate hips can affect both your confidence and your comfort. Our surgeons use advanced liposuction methods to refine your natural proportions, helping you feel more self-assured and at ease in your own body*.

When should you consider a Hip Lipo?
Hip liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgery for reshaping curves and achieving an improved body outline. It targets stubborn fat around the hips and flanks to create a smoother, balanced silhouette.
You may consider hip liposuction if you:
- Desire a curvier figure for personal, social, or special life events.
- Want to achieve a more balanced body structure that matches your aesthetic goals.
- Include it as part of a broader body sculpting plan, such as a mommy makeover.
- Have experienced significant weight loss and are addressing remaining stubborn fat or skin laxity.
- Feel frustrated with persistent hip or flank fullness despite diet and exercise.
- Want to wear fitted or stylish clothing that better complements your body shape.
Hip liposuction, also called “hourglass waist liposuction,” refines the natural waist-to-hip ratio, creating a more enhanced look. While effective for both men and women, it is more commonly sought by women to accentuate curves, define the waistline, and support an hourglass figure.

Combining Hip Liposuction With Other Procedures
Hip liposuction is often combined with other body enhancement procedures to achieve more balanced and comprehensive results. Treating multiple areas together can create more seamless transitions, and improve the general structure.
Depending on your body needs and aesthetic goals, your surgeon may recommend combining hip liposuction with:
- Abdominal liposuction
- Tummy tuck surgery
- Thigh liposuction
- Mommy makeover procedures
- Fat transfer or body sculpting procedures
Undergoing multiple body contouring procedures together can help achieve the most natural and proportionate results possible. Combining procedures may also reduce the overall recovery time, minimize the need for multiple surgeries, and be more convenient and cost-effective for many patients.
Your surgeon will customize your treatment plan based on your anatomy, recovery considerations, and desired outcomes.

Am I a Good Candidate For Hip Liposuction?
If you struggle with stubborn fat around the hips, flanks, or waistline that does not respond to diet and exercise, hip and waist liposuction may be the right option.
You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You have localized fat deposits around the hips or love handle area.
- You have reached a stable weight.
- You do not have any medical conditions that make it difficult for you to undergo surgery or may affect healing, such as diabetes, heart issues, or cancer.
- You do not smoke or are willing to stop smoking before and after surgery.
- You have realistic expectations for the procedure's results and understand that results vary based on individual anatomy.
- You have good skin elasticity that can adapt to new curves after fat removal.
Hip liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution. It is best for individuals in good health and near their ideal weight who want to remove stubborn fat that won’t go away on its own. It precisely targets and removes fat deposits, resulting in a leaner, more defined midsection.

What Happens During a Hip Liposuction Consultation?
A hip liposuction consultation usually includes a medical evaluation, body-shape planning, and a discussion of expectations. The goal of this session is to determine whether liposuction is appropriate for your hips and flanks, and what results you can realistically achieve.
During your consultation, you can expect:
- A review of your medical history and current health conditions.
- Discussion of any previous surgeries or treatments.
- Evaluation of skin elasticity and firmness.
- Assessment of muscle structure, body proportions, and symmetry.
- Questions about what specifically concerns you about your hip area, such as hip dips, outer thighs, love handles, or saddlebag fullness.
- A conversation about your desired silhouette and contour goals.
- Procedure planning, including what happens before, during, and after surgery.
- Guidance on post-surgical care, recovery expectations, and time off work.
During your appointment, our expert plastic surgeons, Dr. David Shokrian and Dr. Mohamed Elfar, will assess your body shape, skin quality, and aesthetic objectives to recommend the most appropriate treatment approach. They will also explain the potential risks of hip liposuction and help you prepare for every stage of the procedure to support a smooth recovery and safe, optimal results.

What to Expect During a Hip Liposuction Procedure?
- You will be given either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the extent of treatment, to ensure you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
- Your surgeon will make several small incisions around the hips and waistline in the areas that were previously marked during your consultation for fat removal.
- A thin tube called a cannula is then inserted to gently loosen and suction out excess fat from the outer hips, flanks, and waist. This step helps define the area and create a smoother, more balanced profile.
- Your surgeon will carefully sculpt treated areas to ensure even results and a natural transition between waist, hips, and thighs. Advanced techniques like tumescent liposuction and small, precise cannulas remove unwanted fat while protecting surrounding tissues and maintaining balanced proportions.
- After the fat removal is complete, the incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied to reduce swelling, support healing, and help the newly sculpted contours settle properly.
- A hip liposuction procedure typically takes 1 to 4 hours, depending on the amount of fat removed and whether additional areas are treated. Afterward, you will be moved to a recovery area where the medical team monitors you as the anesthesia wears off.
Hip liposuction is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning most patients can return home the same day after being cleared by their surgeon.
Hip and Waist Lipo Recovery and Results
Recovery after hip and waist liposuction varies depending on the amount of fat removed, the number of treatment areas, and your body’s healing response. Following your surgeon’s instructions, getting adequate rest, and properly caring for treated areas during the first weeks are essential for smooth recovery and optimal results.
Mild to moderate swelling, bruising, soreness, and tightness are common after surgery and usually improve gradually over weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling, and encourage healing. If needed, your surgeon may advise sleeping on your side during early recovery to avoid pressure on treated hips.
Although light walking and gentle daily movements are encouraged to promote circulation and healing, you should avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, pushing, and pulling until cleared by your surgeon. Taking proper precautions during this period helps protect your results and reduces the chance of complications.
Most patients can return to work within a week, depending on their comfort level. However, if your job involves physical activity or heavy lifting, you may require additional downtime. Exercise and more strenuous activities can usually be resumed within 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your condition and surgeon’s recommendations.
Some improvement in body contour is noticeable soon after surgery, but final results become clearer as swelling subsides over weeks and months. Patients typically see a slimmer waistline, more sculpted hips, improved proportions, and a slimmer overall profile.
Great communication and excellent customer support.
How Long Do the Results of Hip and Waist Lipo Last?
Hip and waist liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the treated areas, meaning the eliminated fat deposits do not return. However, the remaining fat cells in the body can still expand with weight gain if you are not careful. Maintaining a stable weight is important for preserving your results in the long term.
Following a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and consistent weight management helps preserve a slimmer waistline and defined body shape for years.
How Much Can I Expect to Pay For My Hip Liposuction?
The cost of hip liposuction can vary depending on several factors, including your treatment plan, surgical goals, and the complexity of the procedure.
Factors that can affect the final price include:
- The expertise and experience of the surgeon
- Your geographical location
- The areas being treated
- The amount of fat that is being removed from your hips and waist
- The liposuction technique being used
- Whether the liposuction is combined with other body contouring procedures
- Facility fee
- Anesthesia fee
- Medication
- Compression garments
Because every patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals are unique, an in-person consultation with your surgeon is essential. During this consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your body shape and provide an accurate cost estimate based on your personalized treatment plan.
Is Hip Liposuction Covered by Insurance?
Hip liposuction is generally considered an elective cosmetic procedure. This means it is performed to improve body contour and appearance rather than to treat a medical condition. For this reason, it is typically not covered by health insurance, and patients are expected to pay out of pocket.
However, liposuction is considered medically necessary in rare cases, such as for the treatment of conditions like lipedema or for reconstructive purposes after injury or disease. In such cases, you may be eligible for partial insurance coverage. Even then, you will need medical records and prior authorization before approval can be granted.
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we realize that paying for a hip liposuction, especially if you choose to combine it with other body enhancement procedures, can be overwhelming. We provide flexible payment plans and third-party financing options to make these procedures accessible to you.
