Many people want to fix their hip dips without getting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). They don’t want a huge butt. But can you really fix hip dips without a BBL? Let’s find out.
What Are Hip Dips?
Hip dips are the indentations on the sides of your hips. Some people embrace them, while others prefer a smoother, rounder curve. If you’re in the latter group, you might be wondering how to fill them in for a more balanced silhouette.
Why BBLs Are Often Recommended for Hip Dips
Fat Transfer Explained
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses fat transfer—removing fat from unwanted areas like your stomach or thighs and strategically injecting it into your buttocks and hips. This can smooth out hip dips and create an enhanced, natural-looking shape.
Hip Dips Are Not an Isolated Issue
Hip dips aren’t just a small dimple. They often extend toward the back of the hip, which means targeted fat placement alone may not be enough. For the most natural result, the surrounding areas need to be contoured and blended.
The Role of Dr. William’s Liposuction Technique: Ogee BBL
Dr. William uses a specialized approach known as the Ogee BBL, a body contouring technique that blends fat beautifully and reshapes the entire silhouette. With his artistic method, fat is sculpted and redistributed to create curves where you want them, and smooth out areas like hip dips without over-exaggerating the buttocks.
Why You Might Still Need Some Volume in the Butt
Even if you don’t want a larger butt, a small amount of fat in the gluteal area helps support and maintain the fat used to fill in your hip dips. It’s not about creating volume—it’s about creating balance.
How to Maintain Hip Dip Results
Fat Support and Longevity
The fat placed into the hip dips needs support. Without volume in adjacent areas like the buttocks, the transferred fat can dissipate more quickly. Supporting that fat gives your result long-term staying power.
Blending Is Key
Blending the fat into surrounding areas, including the butt, creates a smoother, more natural contour. The result: filled-in hip dips and subtle, feminine curves.
Can You Get a Natural Look with a BBL?
Absolutely. A natural-looking BBL is all about proportions and technique. With the Ogee BBL, Dr. William focuses on enhancing your natural shape rather than creating an exaggerated result.
Choose a Surgeon Who Specializes in Natural Results
If you’re aiming for subtle changes, make sure your surgeon’s portfolio reflects that. Dr. Karl Schwarz, aka Dr. William, is known for creating elegant, natural results that complement each individual body type.
Understanding Your Body Type and Limits
Athletic Builds vs. Curvier Frames
Your existing body structure will influence your outcome. People with athletic builds may not achieve dramatic curves, but they can still enjoy hip dip correction that complements their frame.
Small Waist Advantage
Patients with smaller waists often see a more noticeable difference after hip dip correction, as the contrast enhances the appearance of curves. Small adjustments in multiple areas make a big visual impact.
Final Thoughts: Can You Fix Hip Dips Without a BBL?
It’s possible—but often not ideal. Fat transfer via BBL remains the most effective and long-lasting solution for hip dips. Even minimal fat transfer to the butt is essential to ensure the fat placed in the hip dip area stays in place.
