Sculptra for Hip Dips: The Natural Way to Smooth & Enhance Your Curves in Korea
Hip dips are completely normal, but many people prefer a rounder, smoother silhouette. In Korea, Sculptra hip dip injections have become one of the most popular non-surgical body contouring treatments for creating a fuller, more balanced shape — without implants or fat grafting.
Below is a full patient-friendly guide you can use on any clinic site.
What Are Hip Dips?
Hip dips (also called violin hips) are the inward curves between the hips and thighs. They become more visible when:
- Body fat is low
- Hip bones are set higher or wider
- The gluteus medius muscle is less pronounced
- Skin elasticity decreases
Sculptra offers a subtle, natural way to fill these hollow areas.
What Is Sculptra for Hip Dips?
Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable (PLLA) that gradually builds volume over several weeks. Instead of adding instant filler, Sculptra encourages your body to create its own collagen — resulting in smooth, natural-looking enhancement that lasts up to 2–3 years.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may benefit from hip dip Sculptra if you want:
- A fuller, rounder hip contour
- A non-surgical option (no downtime)
- Natural-looking improvement
- Long-lasting results
- A safe alternative to implants or fat grafting
It’s also ideal for patients who do not have enough fat for transfer procedures.
How the Treatment Works
- Consultation and assessment of hip dip depth
- Application of numbing cream or local anesthesia
- Injection of Sculptra in a fanning technique
- Gentle molding and massage
- Immediate return to daily activities
Most patients need 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
