What is a hip augmentation?
Hip augmentation is a surgical procedure in which volume is added to the sides of the pelvis and hips to better balance body contours.
Some patients naturally have little volume at the hips, making the silhouette appear straighter. Others desire a more feminine transition between the waist and hips or wish to correct asymmetries.
Depending on the anatomy and the desired volume increase, implants, lipofilling, or a combination of both techniques can be used.
The goal of the treatment is a harmonious silhouette in which the hips fit better with the rest of the body.

The treatment process
Consultation
During a personal consultation, we discuss your expectations and analyze your body contours.
Analysis
We assess the ratio between the waist, hips, and legs to determine which approach is most suitable.
Treatment plan
Together, we determine the desired shape and volume increase that suits your figure.
The intervention
Depending on the chosen technique, implants are placed or the body's own fat is used to add volume to the hips.
Result
After recovery, a softer transition between the waist and hips is created, resulting in a more balanced silhouette.
What options are there?
Not every patient has the same physique or the same expectations. Therefore, the treatment is always tailored individually.
Hip implants
Suitable for patients who desire a significant increase in volume.
Lipofilling
Volume enhancement with autologous fat for a natural transition and soft contours.
Correction of hip dips
Filling in the natural curve between the hip and thigh for a smoother body line.
Combination treatment
In some cases, various techniques are combined for an optimal result.
A silhouette in harmony
The hips play an important role in overall body proportions. Even a limited increase in volume can make a big difference in how the waist, hips, and legs relate to each other.
At o2 Clinic, we strive for contour enhancements that suit your body and natural shape. The goal is not to create excessive volume, but to subtly enhance existing body lines.
By paying attention to the overall picture, a result is created that looks elegant, balanced, and natural.
Recovery & Aftercare
The recovery period is gradual so that the treated areas can adapt to their new shape and volume.
In the first few weeks, swelling, tenderness, and temporary tension may occur in the hips. These reactions decrease as recovery progresses.
Depending on the technique used, specific guidelines may apply regarding sleeping, sitting, moving, and exercising. During follow-up appointments, we carefully monitor the healing process and answer any questions.
Once the swelling has subsided, the new contours become increasingly visible, and the final result can be correctly assessed.
