OVERVIEW

What Are Hip Implants?

Enhance Hip Contours With Confidence

Hip implants are a cosmetic option designed to add volume and improve contour along the outer hips. They may be considered by patients who naturally have a straighter lower body shape, limited hip fullness, or asymmetry that affects overall body proportions.

Hip augmentation with implants can create a fuller, more sculpted transition from the waist to the upper thighs. The goal is to enhance the hip area in a way that looks balanced with the patient’s natural frame, rather than creating an exaggerated appearance.

At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, Dr. Olga Bachilo offers personalized hip augmentation options for patients in Houston, Bellaire, West University, Sugar Land, and surrounding areas. During your consultation, she will evaluate your anatomy, existing soft tissue, body proportions, and aesthetic goals to determine whether implants, fat transfer, or another contouring approach may be appropriate.

What are Hip Implants Used For?

Hip implants may be used cosmetically to increase volume along the outer hips, soften a straight or angular silhouette, improve symmetry, and create more balanced lower body contours. They can also be considered for patients who do not have enough donor fat for fat grafting or who want a more structured, long-lasting volume enhancement.

In reconstructive settings, implants may also be used to restore contour after trauma, surgery, congenital asymmetry, or volume loss. The treatment plan depends on the patient’s anatomy, medical history, and desired result.

What Are Hip Implants Made Of?

Most cosmetic hip implants are made from solid silicone elastomer. Unlike breast implants, they are not filled with liquid gel. Solid silicone implants are designed to be durable, soft yet stable, and shaped to add smooth volume over the hip area.

The size, shape, and placement of the implants are selected based on the patient’s body frame and contour goals. Dr. Bachilo uses a customized approach to help create natural-looking hip enhancement that complements the waist, thighs, and overall lower body shape.

Results

What Results Can I Expect From a Hip Implant Procedure?

A cosmetic hip implant will produce a rounder, more curved silhouette in the hip, depending on the size and shape of implant that you and your surgeon decide on. Dr. Bachilo can help you pick the right implant to give you the most natural-looking enhancement for your natural body type.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most silicone hip implants are designed to last a lifetime. If, after some years, your body has changed and your hip implants don’t look as good as they did when you first got them, you may consider a revision procedure to replace the implants with new ones. However, if you continue to feel satisfied with the way your hip implants fit and look, there is no reason why you cannot enjoy them for the rest of your life.

Candidates

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Hip Implant Procedure?

Candidates must be healthy adults over age 21 and preferably they should also be non-smokers. Ideally, a cosmetic hip implant is most suited to women who have very angular figures and whose hips are extremely narrow, making their body look imbalanced and detracting from the fit of certain garments. If you have a naturally boyish shape, with hips that are basically nonexistent, you may be an excellent candidate for a cosmetic hip implant.

Recovery

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Recovery after a hip implant may take about one to two weeks, although it may be uncomfortable to sit for long periods, or to perform certain activities, such as climbing stairs, for several weeks following the procedure. Most discomfort can be easily managed with pain medication and ice packs, and the majority of patients are able to return to office work and light daily activities about one or two weeks after surgery. Full recovery may take as long as three to four months, during which the swelling from the procedure gradually subsides naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hip Augmentation Surgery

Can a Hip Implant Be Combined with Other Procedures?

Yes, our patients at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa frequently choose to have several cosmetic procedures performed during a single session, in order to save time and money, as well as reducing exposure to anesthesia, and having to recover only once from various surgeries. By combining your hip implant procedure with another procedure, such as breast implants, gluteal augmentation, or a tummy tuck, you can achieve a more comprehensive makeover and be even happier with your new appearance.

What if I Change My Mind?

If at any point you desire to have your hip implants removed or replaced, you may undergo a revision surgery to achieve this. In some cases, a patient may choose to have their hip implants replaced with a fat transfer or fat grafting procedure that uses fat from their own body.

What is hip augmentation?

Hip augmentation is a cosmetic body contouring procedure that enhances the shape, width, and projection of the hips. This can be achieved using fat transfer, commonly called hip augmentation with fat grafting, or with silicone hip implants. The goal is to create a more balanced silhouette and improve body proportions.

Am I a good candidate for hip augmentation?

You may be a good candidate for hip augmentation if you are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and want to improve the appearance of narrow hips, hip dips, or body asymmetry. During your consultation, Dr. Bachilo will evaluate your anatomy and discuss the most appropriate treatment option for your goals.

What is the difference between hip implants and fat transfer to the hips?

Hip implants use medical-grade silicone implants to add volume and definition to the hip area. Fat transfer uses your own fat, harvested through liposuction, to enhance the hips naturally. Fat transfer offers the added benefit of body contouring in donor areas, while implants may be recommended for patients who do not have enough excess fat available.

Can hip augmentation correct hip dips?

Yes. Hip augmentation is one of the most effective treatments for hip dips. Fat grafting can fill depressed areas along the outer hips to create smoother curves and a more balanced transition between the waist, hips, and thighs.

How long does hip augmentation surgery take?

The length of surgery depends on the technique used and whether additional procedures are performed at the same time. In most cases, hip augmentation can take between two and four hours. Dr. Bachilo will provide a personalized surgical plan during your consultation.

What is recovery like after hip augmentation?

Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the initial recovery period. Many individuals can return to light daily activities within one to two weeks, although strenuous exercise and pressure on the treated area should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.

How long do hip augmentation results last?

Hip implant results are considered long-lasting. For fat transfer procedures, a portion of the transferred fat will permanently survive and become part of the body's natural tissue. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your results for many years.

Can hip augmentation be combined with other body contouring procedures?

Yes. Hip augmentation is often combined with liposuction, Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, tummy tuck surgery, or a mommy makeover to create more comprehensive body contouring results and enhance overall body proportions.

Will hip augmentation leave visible scars?

Every surgical procedure creates some degree of scarring. However, incision placement is carefully planned to keep scars as discreet as possible. Fat transfer procedures typically require only small liposuction and injection entry points, while hip implants require slightly larger incisions that are concealed whenever possible.

How much does hip augmentation cost in Houston?

The cost of hip augmentation varies depending on the technique used, the complexity of the procedure, anesthesia fees, and whether additional procedures are performed. During your consultation, you will receive a customized treatment plan and detailed pricing information based on your specific goals.

Hip Fat Injections

A Natural Alternative to Hip Implants

Hip fat injections, also known as fat grafting to the hips, are a natural option for patients who want to enhance hip volume and improve lower body contour without implants. The procedure uses your own fat to create a softer, more gradual enhancement that blends naturally with your existing shape.

During treatment, fat is removed from areas with unwanted fullness, such as the abdomen, flanks, lower back, or thighs, using liposuction. The fat is then carefully purified and strategically injected into the hip area to improve volume, soften hip dips, enhance outer hip contour, and create a smoother transition between the waist, hips, and upper thighs.

Because fat grafting uses your own tissue, the results can look and feel natural. It may be especially beneficial for patients who want a more subtle enhancement, prefer to avoid implants, or would like the added benefit of liposuction contouring in another area of the body.

Some of the transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed during the healing process, so the final result may be less than what is seen immediately after surgery. Fat survival varies from patient to patient and depends on factors such as circulation, healing, weight stability, and following post-treatment instructions. Patients are typically advised to avoid pressure on the treated area and limit strenuous activity while the transferred fat settles.

Dr. Olga Bachilo will evaluate your body shape, available donor fat, skin quality, and goals to determine whether hip fat injections, hip implants, or a combination approach is best for you.
