3 Ways to Achieve Hip Lift — Thread Lifting, Implants, and Fat Grafting
Hip lift, which improves sagging buttocks, is one area of body contouring surgery. Kim Jongseo Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong offers three methods: silhouette thread lifting using dissolvable threads (a non-incision technique), buttock implant insertion (SilliMed), and autologous fat grafting (buttock fat injection).
This article summarizes how each method is performed and its characteristics. Which method is suitable depends on individual condition, so a consultation with a specialist is required.
What Hip Lift Methods Are Available?
There are broadly three methods: silhouette thread lifting, which inserts dissolvable threads through small needle punctures and lifts the tissue upward; buttock implant insertion using implants designed specifically for the buttocks; and fat grafting, which injects your own fat into the buttocks.
How Does Thread Lifting Work?
This is a technique performed without incisions, using small needle punctures to insert 10 dissolvable threads on each side of the buttocks and lift the tissue upward. The threads used are absorbable and dissolve within the body, which is described as a way to reduce burden on the body. After lifting, a small amount of Restylane filler (hyaluronic acid) is injected into the upper portion of the buttocks to supplement volume in that area. General information about thread lifting is also available in the Thread Lifting Guide.
What Products Are Used for Buttock Implants?
SilliMed silicone elastomer (smooth-surface) buttock implants are offered, available in 250cc, 290cc, and 340cc sizes. The type and size of implant are determined through consultation based on individual body shape and preferences.
Can Fat Grafting Achieve a Hip Lift Too?
Injecting your own fat into the buttocks may help achieve fuller buttocks and a modest lifting effect. However, results vary by individual.
How Do I Decide Which Method Is Right for Me?
The three methods differ in how they are performed and in their recovery process, and suitability varies depending on individual condition. Information about the operating physician is available under About the Director, and any questions can be directed to Book a Consultation.
