Hip augmentation is a body contouring procedure designed to enhance hip width and curvature, creating smoother lines and improved lower body balance. At SimplyTrans, hip augmentation is often part of gender affirming care, helping patients achieve a silhouette that aligns with their identity and aesthetic goals.
The procedure may be performed using fat transfer, implants, or a combination approach, depending on anatomy and desired outcome. Each treatment plan is customized to support symmetry, proportion, and natural looking results.
Hip augmentation at SimplyTrans is performed under the care of Dr. David Sayah. Patients seeking hip augmentation in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles choose SimplyTrans for physician led planning, precise technique, and refined outcomes that enhance confidence.
Understanding Hip Augmentation Surgery
Hip augmentation is a specialized body contouring procedure designed to enhance the shape, projection, and balance of the hips for a more sculpted, feminine, and proportionate silhouette. The procedure improves hip width and contour by adding volume to areas that may appear flat, indented, or asymmetrical, helping create smoother transitions between the waist, hips, and thighs. Depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals, hip augmentation may be performed using fat transfer (often as part of a Brazilian Butt Lift), implants, or a customized combination of contouring techniques.
Unlike weight gain or exercise alone, which cannot reliably create targeted volume in the hips, hip augmentation offers precise enhancement in areas where genetics often limit natural fullness. By restoring or creating curvature along the outer hips, the procedure can dramatically improve body proportions and help patients achieve a more balanced hourglass figure.
The procedure is especially effective for patients who naturally have hip dips, a narrow lower body frame, asymmetry, or volume loss related to aging or weight fluctuations. For many individuals, even with dedicated fitness and healthy lifestyle habits, the outer hip area may remain deficient in fullness or contour. In these cases, surgical enhancement provides the most predictable and transformative solution.
“Hip augmentation is one of the most powerful ways to improve overall body balance and silhouette,” Dr. Sayah explains. “Even subtle enhancement of the hips can make the waist appear smaller, soften hip dips, and create a more harmonious lower-body contour. The goal is always to achieve results that look natural, elegant, and proportionate to the patient’s anatomy.”
Ideal Candidates for Hip Augmentation
Hip augmentation delivers the best results in patients who meet specific criteria that support both safety and beautiful, natural-looking outcomes:
- At or near their ideal weight with a stable weight maintained for several months, since hip augmentation is a contouring procedure rather than a weight-loss solution
- Good overall health to support safe surgery and optimal healing
- Adequate donor fat for fat transfer procedures, if choosing fat grafting rather than implants
- Non-smokers, or those willing to stop smoking at least six weeks before and after surgery to promote healthy circulation and recovery
- Realistic expectations about the degree of enhancement that can be achieved safely and proportionately
- Commitment to maintaining results through healthy nutrition, stable weight, and regular exercise for long-term satisfaction
