Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hip Augmentation Surgery San Francisco.

Hip augmentation reshapes and enhances hip contours using implants or fat grafting. The procedure is tailored to your anatomy, performed under anesthesia, and involves small incisions or injections to create increased fullness and a more balanced silhouette.

Ideal candidates are healthy adults with realistic expectations who desire fuller hips. During consultation we review your medical history, goals, and surgical options; smokers may need to quit, and body weight should be stable for best outcomes.

Expect swelling, bruising, and soreness for several weeks. Most patients return to desk work in one to two weeks and resume light activity gradually. Full contour results emerge over months; follow postoperative instructions and wear compression garments as directed.

Results are long-lasting, with implants providing durable shape and fat grafting offering permanent gains once settled. Natural aging, weight changes, or implant-related issues can alter appearance; regular follow-up and healthy lifestyle help maintain outcomes.

Risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, contour irregularities, implant shift, or fat resorption. We minimize risks through thorough evaluation, sterile technique, and individualized planning. All potential complications are reviewed during consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Cost varies by technique, anesthesia, facility fees, and surgeon expertise. Hip augmentation ranges widely; implant procedures and fat grafting have different price points. A personalized consultation provides a clear estimate and discusses financing or payment plans available.
