Overview
What is hip dip filler?
Hip dips, sometimes called violin hips, are the inward curves between the top of the hip bone and the widest part of the thigh. They are a normal feature of skeletal shape and muscle attachment, not a sign of excess or lack of weight, which is why exercise rarely changes them. Hip dip filler places a large-volume hyaluronic-acid (HA) body filler into the deep fat layer of the indentation so the outline from waist to thigh becomes one continuous curve. It is a non-surgical alternative to fat grafting and is reversible, which many patients value.
The treatment uses the same HA chemistry as facial fillers, but in body-grade formulations that are more cross-linked and supplied in larger syringes. Volumes are much higher than on the face, typically 20 to 50 cc per side, so product authenticity, sterile technique and realistic expectations matter. Hip dip filler is often planned together with buttock filler or a non-surgical butt lift, and sits within our body fillers programme.
How hip dip filler works at Oaro
At Oaro Dermatology Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul, Dr. Chang-hyun Kim, a board-certified dermatologist and member of the Korean Filler Society, examines the hips standing, with weight evenly distributed, and marks the depth and extent of each dip. Both sides are photographed because most people are asymmetric. After numbing cream and a small bleb of local anaesthetic, a long blunt cannula is introduced through one entry point per side and the filler is laid down in fanned threads in the deep subcutaneous plane, never into muscle. The area is moulded by hand until the curve is smooth, and the two sides are matched. A light compression garment is recommended for a few days. You receive written aftercare and return at four to eight weeks for a symmetry check; a smaller top-up can be added then if desired. Patients visiting Seoul usually schedule this treatment early in their stay so the review can take place before they fly home.

Treatment goals
Common goals for hip dip filler
A continuous hip-to-thigh curve
Filling the indentation gives the silhouette an hourglass line that clothing and swimwear show clearly.
Balance after weight loss or training
Muscle gain in the glutes can make dips look deeper; filler restores a smooth outline.
Symmetry
Different volumes on each side correct natural asymmetry that exercise cannot.
A reversible, non-surgical option
HA body filler avoids liposuction and fat transfer, and can be dissolved if ever needed.
Your visit
What to expect
1. Consultation & diagnosis
Your dermatologist assesses the dips standing and in motion, estimates the volume per side, reviews medical history and previous body procedures, and explains the limits of filler compared with surgical options.
2. Treatment
After numbing cream and local anaesthetic, body filler is placed with a long cannula in the deep fat layer of each dip, moulded and matched. The entry points are dressed and a compression garment is fitted.
3. Aftercare & follow-up
You leave with written aftercare and a review at four to eight weeks for symmetry and any top-up.
Cost guide
Hip dip filler cost in Seoul
Hip dip filler is one of the higher-volume filler treatments, so cost scales with the millilitres used. Clinics in Seoul usually quote per 10 cc or per pair of hips, and imported body fillers cost more than Korean body-grade products.
| Option | Typical range (KRW) |
|---|---|
| Body HA filler, per 10 cc | 500,000 – 1,000,000 |
| Mild dips, 20 cc per side (40 cc total) | 2,000,000 – 4,000,000 |
| Deeper dips, 40–50 cc per side | 4,000,000 – 8,000,000 |
| Top-up at review, per 10 cc | 500,000 – 900,000 |
Exact pricing is confirmed at consultation after examination.
Aftercare
Aftercare
- Wear the compression garment as advised for three to five days and avoid sleeping on your side for one week.

- Keep entry points clean and dry for 48 hours and avoid tight belts or waistbands over the area.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can exercise fix hip dips?
Rarely. Hip dips come from bone and muscle attachment, so glute training may change the surrounding shape but seldom fills the dip itself.
How much filler do hip dips need?
Typically 20 to 50 cc per side depending on depth. The dermatologist will estimate volume at consultation and may suggest staging larger volumes.
How long does hip dip filler last?
Usually 18 to 24 months. Body fillers are highly cross-linked and sit in an area with little movement.
Is hip dip filler safe?
With a doctor, sterile technique, genuine body-grade product and placement in the fat layer, the risk is low. The main concerns are infection and uneven settling, both reduced by proper technique and follow-up.
Can I have hip dip filler as a visitor to Seoul?
Yes. Plan it early in your stay so the review falls before departure, and allow a week before long flights or strenuous travel.
