Hip Dips & Hip Contouring in Scottsdale, AZ
Creating Balanced, Natural-Looking Body Proportions
Many people feel frustrated by indentations along the outer hips that make their silhouette look less smooth or balanced. These natural curves, commonly called “hip dips,” are a normal part of human anatomy — but for those who want a more rounded or proportionate appearance, body contouring treatments may help enhance their shape.
At Natural Radiance Aesthetics & Wellness in Scottsdale, AZ, we take a personalized approach to body sculpting by focusing on your unique anatomy, proportions, and aesthetic goals.
What Are Hip Dips?
Hip dips are inward curves or indentations that occur along the outer hips, typically between the hip bone and upper thigh.
They are caused by several natural factors, including:
- Bone structure and pelvic shape
- Genetics
- Fat distribution
- Muscle structure
- Body composition
Hip dips are not a sign that something is wrong with your body — they are simply part of your natural anatomy.
However, many patients seek treatment because they desire a smoother transition between the hips, waist, and thighs.

Can You Get Rid of Hip Dips?
Because hip dips are influenced by your underlying bone structure, they cannot always be completely eliminated. However, body contouring treatments can help improve the appearance of hip dips by enhancing surrounding areas and creating more balanced proportions.
Treatment options depend on your individual anatomy and goals.
Hip Contouring Options in Scottsdale
Liposuction for Hip Contouring
In some cases, strategic liposuction can improve the appearance of hip dips by removing excess fat from surrounding areas, such as:
- Love handles
- Outer thighs
- Waistline
By sculpting these areas, the hips may appear smoother and more defined.
Fat Transfer for Hip Enhancement
For patients looking to add more fullness to the hip area, fat transfer may be considered. This technique uses your own fat from another area of the body to enhance shape and improve overall proportions.
A personalized consultation can determine whether fat transfer is appropriate based on your goals and anatomy.
Combining Hip Contouring With Other Body Sculpting Procedures
Many patients choose to combine hip contouring with additional body procedures to create a more balanced silhouette.
Common combinations include:
- Hip dips + love handle liposuction
- Hip dips + outer thigh contouring
- Hip dips + Lipo 360
- Hip dips + abdominal contouring
Why Do My Hip Dips Look More Noticeable After Weight Loss?
Many patients notice hip dips more after losing weight because fat loss can change the way the body’s natural structure appears.
After weight loss, some people may experience:
- Less fullness around the hips
- More visible body contours
- Changes in fat distribution
- A desire for improved body proportions
Body contouring can help address areas where weight loss alone does not create the shape someone desires.
Am I a Candidate for Hip Contouring?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are at or near your goal weight
- Maintain a stable weight
- Want to improve body proportions
- Have realistic expectations
- Are looking for natural-looking enhancement
A consultation with Dr. Scott can help determine the best approach based on your goals and anatomy.

Liposuction may improve the appearance of hip dips by sculpting surrounding areas such as the waist, love handles, and outer thighs. The best approach depends on each person’s anatomy.

Hip dips are natural inward curves along the outer hips, while love handles refer to excess fat around the waist and sides. They are different concerns but are often treated together for improved body contour.
Non-surgical options may provide temporary changes, but surgical body contouring options typically provide more significant and long-lasting changes for appropriate candidates.
