Hip Dip Correction in Beverly Hills

Hip dips are the inward curves that appear on the outer sides of the hips, just below the hip bones. They are a completely natural result of your skeletal structure, specifically the distance between your hip bone and femur, combined with how your soft tissue and muscle are distributed in that area. Some people barely notice them, while others find the indentation quite pronounced. No amount of exercise fully corrects them, because the shape is determined by bone placement, not muscle mass or body fat alone.

The process involves precisely injecting a biocompatible filler into the depressed area along the lateral hip to restore volume and create a smoother, more continuous curve from the waist down to the thigh. Dr. Simon Ourian uses advanced injection techniques to layer the product strategically, building shape rather than simply filling space. The goal is a result that looks like your natural anatomy, just more symmetrical and proportionally balanced. Most patients are genuinely surprised by how much difference a targeted approach makes compared to what they assumed would require surgery.

Ideal candidates are adults who are at or near a stable weight and feel self-conscious about the indented appearance along their outer hips. This treatment works beautifully for people who have a relatively slim or athletic frame where the hip dip is visually prominent, as well as for those who simply want more of a curved, rounded silhouette without the downtime of surgery. A consultation with Dr. Ourian helps determine whether filler volume alone will achieve your goal, or whether a combination approach would serve you better.

Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the fillers used contain lidocaine, which further reduces any sensation during the injection. Most patients describe the experience as pressure rather than pain. The full appointment, including consultation, prep, and the procedure itself, typically takes between 45 minutes and an hour, making it an easy treatment to fit into a busy schedule.

Results typically last between 12 and 24 months, depending on the specific filler selected, your metabolism, and how your body responds to the product. Some patients return annually for a simple top-up to maintain their results, while others find their outcome holds beautifully for closer to two years. The experts at Epione will discuss realistic timelines with you during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect and can plan accordingly.

There is essentially no downtime. You can return to your normal daily routine immediately after leaving the office. Some mild swelling or tenderness at the injection site is normal in the first 24 to 48 hours, and it resolves on its own. The team at Epione Beverly Hills recommends avoiding intense lower-body workouts and prolonged pressure on the treated area for about 48 hours, just to allow the filler to settle properly into position.

Many patients achieve their desired shape in a single session. However, if the hip dip is deeper or if someone wants a more dramatic transformation toward a curvy silhouette, Dr. Ourian may recommend a staged approach, adding volume gradually across two appointments spaced several weeks apart. This method allows for precise refinement and ensures the result looks naturally proportioned rather than overfilled.

The difference comes down to precision, product selection, and an eye for proportion. Dr. Simon Ourian has spent years developing injection techniques that treat the hip as part of the whole body, not as an isolated indentation to fill. The filler type, placement depth, and volume are all chosen based on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Patients travel from across the country and internationally to experience this level of personalized artistry, and the results speak clearly for themselves.
