When fat accumulates around the hip area, it not only affects your body contour but also lowers confidence and restricts clothing choices. This frustration is common among men and women who otherwise maintain a healthy lifestyle but still battle with localized fat deposits.
Hip liposuction is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective solution to permanently remove stubborn fat from the hip region. Performed as a stitch-less, scarless daycare procedure under local anesthesia, it sculpts a slimmer, more proportionate waistline. With advanced techniques such as VASER liposuction, patients can achieve precise contouring with faster recovery and natural results.

Hip liposuction surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits from the hip area, often referred to as “love handles” or “flanks.”
Despite a healthy lifestyle, this region can be resistant to diet and exercise, making it a common concern for both men and women.
Using advanced techniques like VASER or power-assisted liposuction, the surgeon makes tiny incisions and gently suctions out localized fat, sculpting a slimmer, more proportionate waistline.
The procedure is minimally invasive, typically stitch-less, scarless, and performed under local anesthesia, ensuring faster recovery and long-lasting results.

Hip fat builds from genetics, hormones, insulin resistance and weight gain; pregnancy, meds and aging add risk. A surgeon exam guides safe contouring.
Hip fat widens the waist, creates love handles and saddlebags, blurs body contours, increases cellulite, and makes fitted clothing uncomfortable often
Hip liposuction sculpts stubborn fat for a defined waist–hip line, better clothing fit, and lasting confidence when paired with healthy habits.
Hip liposuction removes fat, not excess skin or cellulite. VASER can give mild tightening; poor skin quality may need lift or adjunct tightening also.
Consultation confirms candidacy, maps hip fat and skin quality, personalizes technique, sets expectations, and ensures safety, recovery, and costs.
You’re a fit candidate if you’re 18+, healthy, at a stable weight, with firm skin and pinchable hip fat, realistic goals, and commitment to aftercare.
Hip liposuction uses tumescent, laser, VASER, radiofrequency, water-jet and J-Plasma; surgeons match tech to skin quality, fat type, safety and goals.
After marking and anesthesia, tiny crease-hidden incisions let microcannulas remove hip-area fat; the surgeon sculpts, closes and applies compression.
Contour improves immediately; swelling peaks in week 1. Major change by ~1 month; then final refinement 3–6 months, VASER tightening up to 6–8 months.
Desk work in 2–3 days, light exercise at 2 weeks, major change by 1 month; final contour 3–6 months; wear compression 4–6 weeks with surgeon reviews..
Wear compression, walk early, elevate hips, protect incisions, avoid heat and heavy workouts, hydrate, and keep surgeon follow-ups on schedule always.
Generally safe with an expert. Risks: swelling, bruising, contour unevenness, seroma, infection, rare clots. Careful screening & aftercare lower risk.
Results can last years since removed fat cells don’t return; keep weight stable—hormones, aging or major weight gain can alter hip contours over time.
At Allure Medspa, hip liposuction costs ₹30k–₹70k; combos ₹1.2L–₹1.8L. +18% GST; EMI available. Final price after Dr. Milan Doshi’s consultation.

Ans. Yes, liposuction can effectively target and contour the hips by removing localized fat deposits, especially when diet and exercise fail to reduce stubborn fat.
Ans. The cost of hip liposuction in India generally ranges from ₹60,000 to ₹1,25,000 depending on the clinic, technology used (e.g., VASER), and the surgeon’s experience.
Ans. Liposuction is considered safe when performed by a board-certified surgeon in an accredited facility. However, like any surgery, it carries minor risks that are minimized with proper care.
Ans. Patients report mild to moderate discomfort, mostly during the first few days. Local anesthesia and pain medications make the procedure very manageable.
Ans. If weight is maintained, the results can be long-lasting. However, natural aging, hormonal changes, and weight gain can alter body shape over time.
Ans. Fat cells removed through liposuction do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential.
Ans. The ideal age is generally between 20–50 years, when the skin has good elasticity. However, suitability depends more on individual health, skin tone, and goals than age alone.
Ans. Most patients return to light activities in 3–5 days. Swelling and bruising subside within a few weeks, while final results become visible over 2–3 months.
Ans. VASER liposuction is often considered the safest and most effective method due to its precision and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
Ans. Most patients require only one session per treatment area. However, extensive fat removal or multiple areas may need staged sessions for optimal safety and results.
Ans. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, soreness, and temporary numbness. Serious complications are rare when performed by an expert surgeon.
Ans. Yes, liposuction can target the lower flanks or upper thighs adjacent to the buttocks to create a lifted, more contoured look. Direct buttock liposuction is done with caution.
Ans. Patients typically lose 1–3 inches per treated area, depending on the volume of fat removed and the body’s response during healing.
Ans. By 3 months, swelling has significantly reduced, skin tightening has occurred, and the final shape begins to stabilize. Most patients see 80–90% of final results by this time.
Ans. No, liposuction is not a weight loss surgery. It removes localized fat, not deep visceral fat. The typical fat removal ranges from 1 to 5 liters (~1–4 kg).
Ans. Most patients lose 1–2 clothing sizes in the treated area, depending on fat volume, skin retraction, and post-operative care.
Ans. Short flights are allowed after 3–5 days. For long flights, it’s best to wait 10–14 days and take precautions to prevent swelling or clotting, like wearing compression garments.
Ans. It depends on the technique and extent. Small areas may use local anesthesia with sedation. Larger or multiple areas usually require general anesthesia.
Ans. Areas with dense nerve endings, such as the abdomen and inner thighs, are more sensitive. The hips usually fall in the moderate-pain category.
Ans. Mild fluid drainage or light spotting is common in the first 24–48 hours. Profuse bleeding is not normal and should be reported to your surgeon immediately.
