Hip Dip Correction
Sculptra for hip dips is a non surgical treatment that uses PLLA to stimulate your body’s own collagen production, gradually filling in indentations and smoothing your silhouette. It is an effective, minimally invasive alternative to a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or surgical implants.
How the Treatment Works
Mechanism: Sculptra acts as a collagen stimulator. Once injected into the dip between the upper thigh and hip bone, the microparticles trigger fibroblast activity, building a natural web-like structure of Type I collagen.
Vial Requirement: Because the hip area is large, you will typically require multiple vials. Most patients need anywhere from 4 to 10 vials per session, depending on the depth of the hip dip and your desired curve.
Procedure Time: The treatment takes about 30–60 minutes in-office using a local anesthetic or numbing cream.
Results and Longevity
Timeline: Results do not appear overnight. Because the collagen develops gradually, you will begin to notice smoothing after 1 to 3 months, with full results taking up to 6 months to materialize.
Duration: Because the volume is made of your own living tissue, results are long-lasting and can typically be enjoyed for 2 to 5 years.
Cost and Considerations
Cost: The overall price varies widely by location and the number of vials used. A proper consultation and assessment is required to determine the cost implication.
