Hip dips are the shallow inward curves that sit just below the hip bone and above the thigh. They are not a flaw, and they are not caused by weight. They come from the way your pelvis is shaped and how your fat and muscle are distributed over it. Still, many people would rather have a smoother line from waist to thigh, especially in fitted clothing or swimwear. Until recently, the only real fix was surgical fat grafting, which means liposuction, anesthesia, and a recovery that keeps you off your side for weeks. Non-surgical hip dips with AlloClae offers a different solution.
A tissue-based adipose filler fills the dip through a needle, without harvesting any fat from your own body, which is usually taken through liposuction.
Northwest Face & Body provides Non-Surgical Hip Dip Treatment in Kirkland for patients living in Kirkland, Bellevue, and all over the greater Eastside area. The procedure is conducted by a board-certified surgeon in a single clinical visit.
What Is Non-Surgical Hip Dips with AlloClae?
AlloClae Hip Dips Kirkland is best understood as fat grafting without the harvest. You get the soft, natural feel that made fat transfer to the hips popular, without the liposuction, bruised donor site, or guesswork about how much fat will survive.
This opens the door for patients who were previously left out. Lean and athletic people often have the most visible hip dips and the least fat to spare. For them, surgical fat grafting was never realistic. AlloClae hip dip treatment removes that barrier because the material comes ready to use and does not depend on your own fat stores.
Can AlloClae Be Used in the Hips?
Yes. The hip dip is a defined depression between the upper outer thigh and the hip bone, and a structural adipose matrix is well suited to filling that kind of pocket. AlloClae hip dip correction places the material in the subcutaneous layer, in the same plane a surgeon would target during a traditional hip fat transfer. It is soft enough to blend into the natural curve of the hip and thigh, yet firm enough to hold the new contour.
Areas Commonly Treated
- Lateral hip depression: the main dip below the hip bone that breaks up the hourglass line
- Upper outer thigh: the transition zone where the dip blends into the leg
- Trochanteric area: the region over the hip joint that can look flat or indented
- Asymmetric hips: one side deeper than the other, evened out for balance
- Post-weight-loss hollowing: dips that deepened after significant weight change
- Blending after liposuction: softening contour gaps left by previous body contouring surgery
Why Choose AlloClae® for Hip Dips?
A hip dip is a volume problem, and squats or side-lying leg lifts cannot change the bone and fat pattern that causes it. Adding structure directly to the depression is the only way to change the silhouette. This approach makes sense for patients who:
- Want a result that feels like their own tissue rather than a pocket of gel
- Are too lean for surgical fat grafting or do not want liposuction
- Want to avoid general anesthesia and the long recovery of a fat transfer
- Prefer a modest, natural rounding rather than a dramatic size change
- Want to correct uneven hips or finish the contour after previous surgery
The goal of AlloClae hip dip enhancement is a smooth, continuous curve from the waist through the thigh. Done well, it looks like the shape you were always meant to have, not like something was added.
How Do Non-Surgical Hip Dips with AlloClae® Work at Northwest Face & Body?
During your consultation, your surgeon examines your hip shape standing and lying down, measures the depth of each dip, and notes any asymmetry
On treatment day, the skin is marked while you stand, then cleaned and numbed with local anesthetic
Using a blunt cannula through a small entry point, the adipose matrix is layered in small amounts across the depression
The volume is visible as it goes in, so your surgeon can shape the curve and compare both sides in real time
You stand again before the session ends so the contour can be checked against gravity and adjusted if needed
Most appointments take about an hour. There is no operating room, no sedation, and no incisions that need to heal.
Difference Between AlloClae Hip Dips and Surgical Fat Grafting
Comparison | alloClae® Filler | Surgical Hip Fat Grafting |
Procedure type | In-office injection | Surgery |
Tissue source | Screened donor adipose matrix (donor fat) | Your own fat, removed by liposuction |
Liposuction required | No | Yes |
Anesthesia | Local numbing | Sedation or general anesthesia |
Incisions | Small cannula entry points only | Harvest incisions plus injection sites |
Appointment length | About 1 hour | Several hours |
Downtime | 24-48 hours | Usually 2-4 weeks, including restrictions on sitting or lying on the hips |
Volume predictability | Visible immediately, adjusted in real time | Depends on how much fat survives, often 50-70 percent |
Best suited for | Lean patients or those wanting modest contour correction | Patients with enough donor fat who want larger-volume reshaping |
Is AlloClae for Hip Dips Permanent?
AlloClae delivers structural volume the day it is placed, and its preserved matrix is designed to integrate with your tissue rather than break down on a set clock the way hyaluronic acid does. Expect some settling over the first few weeks as swelling fades and the material incorporates. Your body will keep changing with age, weight, and activity, so no treatment locks a contour in place forever. Your surgeon at Northwest Face & Body will give you a realistic estimate of how long results should hold and whether a second session is worth planning for.
What Are the Risks Involved?
Every injectable treatment carries some risk. With AlloClae hip dip treatment, these may include:
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treated area
- Infection
- Bleeding or hematoma
- Lumps, nodules, or small cysts
- Uneven volume or contour irregularity between sides
- Allergic or immune reaction
- Temporary changes in skin color or sensation
As with any AlloClae body contouring session, there is a rare but serious risk of the material entering a blood vessel. This is why hip dip filling should be done by a surgeon who understands the anatomy of the hip and thigh in detail, uses the right instruments, and places the material in the correct plane.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Candidates for non-surgical hip dip treatment Kirkland tend to be patients who:
- Have visible indentations between the hip bone and upper thigh
- Want a smoother waist-to-thigh line without surgery
- Are too lean to qualify for surgical fat grafting
- Would rather avoid liposuction, general anesthesia, and weeks of recovery
- Have uneven hips or contour gaps left behind by previous liposuction
- Are at a stable weight and in good general health
- Want a modest, natural rounding rather than a dramatic increase in hip width
Anyone exploring non-surgical hip dip treatment Bellevue should know that a very large change in hip size, or loose skin in the area, may call for a surgical option instead. Your surgeon will go over this honestly at your consultation.
How Much Does Non-Surgical Hip Dips with AlloClae Cost?
AlloClae for hip dips is priced at $100 per cc, with a minimum treatment of 10cc. Hip dips typically need more product than a facial area because the depression is larger and spread across both sides. The total depends on the depth of each dip, the degree of asymmetry, and how much change you are looking for.

What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery for AlloClae hip dips Kirkland patients is short. Most people are back to their normal routine within 24 to 48 hours.
- Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising around the entry points is normal and usually settles within a few days
- You can sit, lie down, and walk right away, which is a major difference from surgical fat grafting
- Avoid strenuous lower-body workouts and deep tissue pressure on the hips for about a week
- Skip hot tubs and saunas until the entry points have closed
- Compression garments are not usually required, but your surgeon will tell you if one would help in your case
A brief follow-up visit lets your surgeon check how the material has settled and confirm both sides look balanced.

How many cc will I need for my hip dips?
It varies widely. Shallow dips may need a few cc per side, while deeper depressions need more. Your surgeon will give a specific estimate at your consultation.
