When you look at photos of influencers
who gained huge attention on social media,
you’ll notice a common pose —
slightly twisting the pelvis and pushing the hips outward.
This pose emphasizes the body line,
making the waist appear slimmer
and the body look curvier,
even if the natural volume is lacking.
As the trend for body contouring shifts
toward a healthy S-line figure,
body sculpting is now focused on
creating curvy S-line shapes that fit each individual.
For women with an average pelvic width in Korea,
it can be difficult to achieve dramatic curves
through diet and exercise alone.
That’s why many opt for surgical methods
to create more defined body lines.
For example, liposuction can slim down
fat-rich areas like the waist and thighs,
while transferring the harvested fat
to the hip joint area.
This not only creates beautiful curves
but also makes the legs appear longer.
While liposuction alone can enhance the silhouette,
combining it with hip fat grafting
can beautifully highlight the waist and pelvic lines,
which might otherwise look flat.
The patient had a slim body type,
with a height of 156cm, weight of 46kg,
and a BMI of 18.9.
Despite her slim figure,
she felt stressed about her thicker thighs
compared to her upper body.
Just before surgery,
she gained about 3 to 4 kilograms,
leading to more fat accumulation on her thighs.
She inquired whether liposuction and fat grafting
could slim and lengthen her legs,
while achieving a better balance between her upper and lower body.
The pinch test showed that
her thigh fat was evenly distributed,
making her a good candidate for liposuction.
However, she had a severe hip dip,
with noticeable indentations around the hip joint.
We planned the surgery
to naturally fill the hip dip.
Since the thigh and hip joint areas
are subject to frequent movement,
we informed her that fat survival rates might decrease,
and that a second fat grafting might be necessary.
In the final procedure,
about 2300cc to 2500cc of fat
was removed from her thighs and below the hip line.
Then, 130cc of fat was grafted into the left hip dip,
and 120cc into the right hip dip.
After her thigh liposuction surgery,
the patient consistently received postoperative care,
while monitoring fat survival in the hip joint area.
At the three-month follow-up
after thigh liposuction and pelvic fat grafting,
we found that the left hip joint area
still appeared slightly sunken.
As a result,
the patient decided to proceed with a second fat grafting surgery.
After the second pelvic fat grafting surgery,
comparing the results before and after thigh liposuction,
we could see a more natural body line.
At the same time,
the legs appeared longer and slimmer
compared to before thigh liposuction.
Pelvic Fat Grafting and Thigh Liposuction 5-Month Postoperative Comparison
[ Surgery Date: February 14 / Check-up: May 19 / Final Check-up: July 14 ]
After five months following thigh liposuction surgery,
the leg line became noticeably slimmer,
and the previously sunken hip dip improved smoothly.
In particular,
the hip joint area gained natural volume,
creating a balanced body line
that matched the patient’s proportions beautifully.
Autologous fat grafting plays a key role
in creating natural volume
and is known for its high patient satisfaction.
However,
to achieve a truly perfect body proportion,
it is essential to design the right fat volume
tailored to each individual’s body type.
Thorough consultation with an experienced surgeon,
who has a rich background in fat grafting procedures,
is critical for achieving a harmonious body line.
