Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Hip Augmentation Surgery.

Hip Augmentation Surgery enhances hip volume and contour using implants or fat grafting, restoring youthful fullness and lateral projection. Techniques are chosen based on anatomy and goals, delivering immediate visible improvement while maintaining natural proportions and smooth transitions to surrounding areas.

Ideal candidates are healthy adults seeking improved hip contours with realistic expectations. You should be at or near stable weight, nonsmoking or willing to quit, and free of medical conditions that increase surgical risk. A consultation assesses suitability and personalized treatment planning.

We use customized techniques including silicone hip implants or autologous fat grafting (Brazilian hip augmentation), combined with liposuction when appropriate. Procedures are performed under anesthesia with strategic incisions to minimize scarring and optimize contour and symmetry tailored to your anatomy.

Recovery typically involves one to two weeks of limited sitting and activity, with gradual return to normal routines over four to six weeks. Swelling and discomfort subside with time; wearing support garments and following postoperative instructions accelerates healing and preserves results.

Results can be long-lasting, especially with implants; fat grafting outcomes may vary due to partial reabsorption. Maintaining stable weight and healthy lifestyle supports longevity. Periodic follow-ups can address asymmetry or volume changes and recommend touch-ups if desired.

As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, implant issues, or fat graft resorption. Careful patient selection, sterile technique, and experienced surgical execution minimize complications. Your surgeon will review individualized risks during consultation and explain safety measures.
