Sculpted curves and a smooth, contoured silhouette have long been associated with elegance and allure. Yet for many individuals, subtle indentations along the outer hips, commonly referred to as hip dips, can interrupt the flow of an otherwise balanced figure. While these dips are a natural expression of bone structure, modern aesthetic techniques offer solutions for those who wish to soften their contours and create a more seamless transition from waist to thigh.
Let’s explore how Dr. Raffi Hovsepian customizes this transformative procedure to smooth out hip dips, elevate body contours, and restore confidence, one bespoke curve at a time.
What Are Hip Dips, and Why Do They Occur?
Hip dips, also known as “violin hips,” are the subtle inward curves that appear just below the iliac crest of the pelvis, where the hip bone transitions into the greater trochanter of the femur.
This natural indentation occurs between the hip bone and thigh, where there is often less subcutaneous fat and muscle coverage. Contrary to popular belief, hip dips are not a flaw or sign of being out of shape, they simply reflect your unique skeletal framework.
Their visibility is influenced by a combination of factors, including:
- Pelvic width
- The prominence of the trochanter
- Fat distribution
- Gluteal muscle development
Some individuals have more rounded hip contours, while others show more pronounced dips due to structural differences.
How a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) Can Address Hip Dips
A Brazilian Butt Lift doesn’t just add volume, it reshapes. Dr. Hovsepian uses advanced fat transfer techniques to extract fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, purify it, and meticulously inject it into the buttocks and hip dip zones. This allows him to smooth out hollows and create a more contoured, hourglass figure with seamless transitions between the waist, hips, and buttocks.
This procedure is especially effective because:
- It uses your own fat, which creates a soft, natural look and feel
- It’s fully customizable to your anatomy and cosmetic goals
- It allows for 360° body sculpting, often combining liposculpture and fat grafting for dramatic transformation
The RHMD BBL Experience
What sets Dr. Hovsepian apart is not just his triple board certification or his global acclaim, it’s his commitment to truly individualized care. Every Brazilian Butt Lift begins with an in-depth consultation, during which he maps your unique curves, learns your vision of beauty, and tailors a treatment plan that reflects your body and lifestyle.
When it comes to hip dip correction, meticulous attention to detail is key. Fat must be injected in layers at precise depths to ensure long-lasting volume and smooth contours. Too much or too little fat in the wrong place can result in unnatural shapes or unevenness.
Dr. Hovsepian avoids these pitfalls with his signature techniques and gentle artistry, delivering sculpted, elegant outcomes.
Is Non-Surgical an Option for Hip Dips?
For patients who may not have sufficient fat for transfer or who prefer a noninvasive approach, Dr. Hovsepian also offers the Sculptra Butt Lift. This nonsurgical alternative gradually stimulates collagen to enhance volume and smooth contours.
While not as dramatic as surgical fat transfer, Sculptra can gently plump the hip area over time and is a viable solution for mild to moderate hip dips.
