Hip augmentation is most commonly perceived as the region over the greater trochanter of the upper leg. It is intended to widen the soft tissue hip region as it relates to the same level as the buttocks but more anteriorly located. This can be accomplished by either fat injections or implants, each which has their Read More…
Background: The mid-body region for contouring can be done by a variety of surgical procedures. The most well known and commonly done are liposuction, fat transfer augmentations and buttock implants. This collection of now standard procedures can satisfy most patient’s needs for a smaller waistline, larger and more shapely buttocks and, in some cases, even Read More…
Background: Hip augmentation remains one of the newer forms of body augmentation. The widespread use of fat injections for buttock augmentation has brought similar attention to the geographically proximate hip region. To some degree they are both anatomically and aesthetically connected as it is hard to see one without the other. Often volumetric and shape Read More…
The interest in the hip augmentation has skyrocketed as the number of adjacent buttock procedures have risen over the past decade. While some buttock procedures can create some degree of a hip augmentation effect (fat injections, subfascial implants), most of the time the resultant hip widening is seen as either short-lived (fat injections) or incomplete/inadequate. Read More…
When augmentation of the hips has been unsuccessful by fat injections or the patient has insufficient fat to harvest, hip implants are the sole alternative. Such hip implants are usually deigned custom for each patient. Placed in a deep subcutaneous pocket on top of the TFL fascia, hip implants are introduced through a small incision Read More…
Background: Hip implants are the newest implant method of augmentative body contouring. Their recent emergence as an aesthetic option for hip augmentation has been generated by the widespread popularity of fat injection buttock augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift) and the need to have the lateral hip areas complement it as well as the lack of consistent Read More…
Background: Successful buttock augmentation can be done with either fat injections or implants. But in very thin patients fat injections are not a buttock augmentation option ad implants have to be used. In such thin patients the best location for buttock implants is in the intramuscular location. This provides the best camouflage of their outline Read More…
As the popularity of buttock augmentation has soared over the past decade, the need for hip augmentation has also arisen. No form of buttock augmentation, whether it is by implants or fat injections, can successfully provide substantial hip augmentation. Buttock implants certainly can not regardless of whether they are even placed in the subfascial tissue Read More…
As buttock augmentation had grown in popularity the desire for hip augmentation has as well. Given their anatomic proximity it is no surprise that patients seeking augmentation for one may inevitably request augmentation of the other. This is seen in patient who have had successful buttock augmentation and now may feel that their hips are Read More…
The newest member of the body implant family is that of hip implants. Augmentation of the lower torso has been done by various styles of buttock implants for decades. While the majority of buttock augmentation today is done by fat injections (aka Brazilian butt lift), there has been a relative neglect of the hips to Read More…
