The lateral hips can be augmented utilizing silicone implants or fat to provide a more feminine silhouette. A gentle tapering of the waist and flattening of the hips provide a more hourglass and feminine figure.
Although some patients have adequate fat to be able to transfer to provide the hip augmentation, others may require the use of an implant to achieve the desired results. The implants are placed through small incisions in the upper hip area.
This procedure is often considered by MTF patients seeking to achieve a more feminine torso and hips. One of the distinguishing characteristic that define the feminine versus a more masculine figure is the gentle flaring of the hips.
