- Consultation & Planning: Detailed body analysis to select between fat transfer, implants, or a combined approach. Procedure: Fat is harvested via liposuction and reinjected into the hips, or implants are placed through discreet incisions. Anesthesia: Typically performed under general anesthesia. Duration: 2–4 hours depending on the technique.
- Recovery: Most patients resume light activity in 1–2 weeks. Compression garments are usually worn for several weeks to minimize swelling and help shape results. Exercise and direct pressure on the hips are generally restricted for 4–6 weeks. Swelling improves during the first month, with final results visible in 3–6 months.
