Hip-up: fat grafting and thread lifting

Autologous fat restores hip volume while elastic lifting threads add firmness, creating a continuous S-line from waist to thigh. Takes about 1–2 hours.

Who it suits

  • Flat or sagging hips that shorten the leg line
  • Want the waist and thighs slimmed at the same time

Technique highlights

  • No incision: fat grafting plus threads
  • Harvesting from the thigh and flank slims those areas too

Surgical steps

  • Assess hip volume and the degree of sagging
  • Harvest and purify fat from the thigh or flank
  • Graft the fat and place lifting threads as planned
  • One to two follow-up visits

Recovery & aftercare

  • Stitch removal: 7days later
  • Recovery: 1~2weeks
  • Surgery time: 약 1~2hours
  • Anaesthesia: painless sedation
  • Follow-up visits: 1~2visit(s)

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on each person's anatomy and after-care.
  • Every operation carries risks and possible complications; consult a board-certified plastic surgeon first.
  • Surgery time and recovery figures come from Private's official pages and may change after assessment.

Frequently asked questions

What materials are used?

Missing volume is filled with the patient's own fat taken from the outer or inner thigh or the flank — which also slims those areas — while sagging is treated with elastic silicone threads (Elasticum).
