Those who’ve suffered from long-term
insecurities about their body shape
often turn to liposuction surgery
in hopes of lasting satisfaction.
But to achieve a successful outcome,
it’s crucial to choose a clinic with a
thorough and systematic approach.
Falling for low-cost promotions
or vague promises like “anything is possible”
can lead to poor judgment.
This often results in dissatisfaction
due to misunderstandings about
liposuction limits and potential complications.
That’s why it’s so important to understand your goals
and find a plastic surgery clinic
that offers precise diagnostics and
custom surgical planning.
Rather than chasing unrealistic ideals—
like extremely thin figures or celebrity bodies—
patients should clearly understand
the surgical methods, expected outcomes,
and limitations explained by the doctor.
Making an informed decision with
a careful review of precautions is the wise choice.
Today’s patient underwent
abdominal liposuction to address belly fat
and had the harvested fat transferred
to the hip dip area, adding volume
and creating a more defined pelvic contour.
Let’s review the before-and-after photos
of this hip dip fat transfer case below.
[Patient Information]
Age: Mid-20s
Occupation: Self-employed
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 60 kg
BMI: 22
Results may vary even with similar body types.
This patient had overall fat accumulation
throughout the abdomen and needed
a reduction in waist circumference.
The hips appeared flat and indented,
creating an unbalanced pelvic shape
that lacked definition.
based on body type diagnosis
Based on body analysis,
this patient had elastic skin
and a fat-storing abdominal type,
indicating the need for full abdominal liposuction.
In the lower body,
a noticeable hip dip was present,
creating a flat and shortened leg line
that lacked feminine curves.
We proposed the following
two-step surgical approach:
1.Perform abdominal liposuction
to reduce belly fat and refine
the overall waistline.
2.Use the harvested fat to correct
the hip dip area through
a hip dip fat transfer,
enhancing the pelvic contour
and creating a more feminine silhouette.
Below are the
before-and-after images
showing the results of
hip dip fat grafting.
Here is the patient’s front view
after abdominal liposuction.
Five months after the second round of
hip dip fat transfer,
the body line appears more refined
with a noticeably improved pelvic contour.
The second round of fat grafting
helped add volume to areas
that still appeared slightly flat.
As a result, the body line became
more feminine and smoothly contoured,
enhancing overall balance and harmony.
[Surgical Areas and Fat Volume Removed]
Surgical areas: Abdomen, hip dip fat transfer
Liposuction volume: 4,600cc
Fat graft volume: Right 236cc, Left 254cc (incl. 2nd round)
This patient underwent abdominal liposuction
to remove excess fat concentrated around the waist.
The harvested fat was then strategically injected
into the hip dip area to reshape the pelvis.
Before surgery, the patient struggled not only
with belly fat, but also with deeply sunken hips,
which made the lower body appear unbalanced.
The goal was to create a smoother, fuller leg line
through both fat removal and hip contouring.
At one month post-op,
you can already see how the uneven abdomen
and flat pelvic region have transformed into
a more refined, curved silhouette,
showing clear results of pelvic contour surgery.
As time passed, the transplanted fat settled
naturally into the hips. Based on graft survival,
a second fat transfer was performed
to further improve balance and shape.
After the touch-up,
both the abdomen and hips showed
even smoother transitions, and the start point of the legs
appeared higher, creating the effect of longer legs
and a more elegant silhouette.
In cases where liposuction alone
isn’t sufficient to improve the lower body line,
harvesting fat and injecting it into
the hip dip area can help create a
natural, fuller body contour.
As seen in this patient’s case,
some concerns cannot be addressed
through a single surgical approach.
Instead, using a combination strategy
allows for results that are much closer
to the patient’s original goals.
Designing a surgery plan that integrates
both fat removal and volume enhancement
is key when dealing with complex body concerns.
