The Hip dipsalso known as hollows hipsor violin hipsThis is a natural depression on the side of the hips, just below the hip bone. This is a physical feature that many people have due to their bone structure and body fat distribution. Although this appearance is completely normal and natural, some people may be bothered by their hip dips and wish to correct or reduce them.
In aesthetic medicine, a number of effective, non-invasive solutions are available for fill in the hip dips to improve the appearance of the hips without surgery.
The hip dipsalso known as hip hollows or hollow hipsThese are natural indentations between the hips and upper thighs, often visible even in slim people. Although completely normal, some patients are looking for solutions to achieve a 'smoother' figure and harmonious curves. It is now possible to
correct hip dips without surgery, usinginjections d'hyaluronic acidof Sculptraand non-invasive body contouring techniques, including the cryolipolysis. These treatments help to fill hollows, sculpt the hips and achieve a shapely, feminine figure, with natural, long-lasting results.
Hip dips are mainly due to anatomical factors, in particular the structure of the pelvis and the distribution of body fat.
The main causes of their appearance are :
- Bone structure: the shape of the pelvic bones largely determines the appearance of hip dips. In some people, the space between the hip bone and the femur is more hollow, creating a depression in this area.
- Fat distribution: the distribution of fat around the hips also plays a role. Some people have less fat in this area, which makes hip dips more visible.
- Musculature: the musculature of the buttocks and thighs also influences the appearance of hip dips. Weak muscular development can accentuate these hollows.
- Heredity: as with many physical characteristics, hip dips can be hereditary. If several members of your family have them, there's a good chance you will too.
While some people accept them completely, others want to reduce hip dips to achieve a more harmonious silhouette. There are a number of non-invasive treatments that can be used to fill these hollows without the need for surgery.
These methods are safe, painless and require little or no recovery time, making them attractive to patients who want a quick and effective solution.
One of the most popular solutions for treating hip dips is to inject hyaluronic acid into the body: Hyacorp. This non-invasive treatment is increasingly used to add volume to areas of the body that lack it.
Hyacorp is injected into hip dips to restore missing volume and fill hollows. This non-surgical treatment gives immediate, natural results.
This procedure is fast, not very painful and does not cause convalescence. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body and is well tolerated.
Results are visible immediately after the session, with a gradual improvement over the following days. They generally last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the patient's metabolism and lifestyle.
Sculptra® is a product that stimulates collagen production in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is often used to firm the skin and add volume to certain areas of the body, including hip dips.
Sculptra® contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible component which, once injected, gradually stimulates the production of natural collagen. This continuous production fills the hollows in the hips while reinforcing the skin's structure.
Unlike traditional fillers, which give immediate volume, Sculptra® works gradually. The result is more natural and long-lasting, with an effect that lasts for up to two years.
The presence of love handles can aggravate the hollow of hip dips. The reduction of love handles by cryolipolysis improves the Hip Dips.
La cryolipolysisis a non-invasive technique that uses cold to target and eliminate fat cells over the long term.
Depending on the size of the fat deposits, one to three sessions are required. The first results are visible one month after the procedure, and the final results three months later. The results are definitive.
Although cosmetic medicine techniques are effective in filling hip dips, some people prefer to try and reduce these hollows naturally, using targeted muscle-building exercises.
Exercises that strengthen the muscles of the buttocks and hips can help improve these hollows. The most effective exercises include squats, lunges, gluteal bridges and hip abduction exercises.
Strength training firms the muscles around the hips and can, in some cases, visually reduce the appearance of hip dips.
In aesthetic medicine, there are effective non-invasive solutions for correcting Hip Dips in a natural and risk-free way. The main advantages of these techniques are
- Rapid results: the results of the injections are immediate or almost immediate, enabling patients to see a rapid improvement in their figure.
- Little or no convalescence: unlike surgical solutions, ® injections require no downtime. You can resume your usual activities immediately after the session.
- Natural results: non-invasive treatments allow hip dips to be corrected in a subtle, natural way, without giving the impression that the body has been "retouched".
- Personalisation: the treatment can be tailored to the patient's needs to obtain a tailor-made result.
