What are hip dips?
Hip dips (also known as trochanteric depressions or ‘violin hips’) are gentle inward curves located below the hips and just above the thighs. These curves are a natural part of our skeletal structure, but how visible they are varies from person to person.
Some people look for ways to get rid of their hip dips because they find them unappealing – especially if they’re trying to achieve the classic hourglass figure, or if one side has a more prominent dip than the other.

What causes hip dips?
There is no specific cause of hip dips. How visible your dips are will depend on the specific arrangement of muscles and fat around your hips and thighs. People with naturally tall hip bones are more likely to have exaggerated hip dips, and they are more common among white women than among other populations. Some people develop hip dips due to underdeveloped muscles or high body fat (or a combination of both).
How to get rid of hip dips
Hip dips can be somewhat reduced by adopting exercises that target the hips and buttocks, but it is unlikely that exercise alone will provide complete correction. Fat redistribution surgery can be effective, but what if you don’t want to go under the knife?
For women who wish to correct their hip dips without surgery, Sculptra and Lanluma can provide an effective solution. Both of these are injectable treatments that fill the depressions by boosting collagen production to provide a fuller look. The Sculptra and Lanluma procedures are performed by doctors and have a better success rate than implants.
Hip dip treatment options
Dr Leah Clinics can treat hip dips with either Sculptra or Lanluma (a new treatment that’s very similar to Sculptra but with improved results).
Dr Leah Clinics is one of the few clinics across the UK to offer Lanluma, which is a highly effective hip dip correction treatment.
This is an injectable hip enhancement treatment, using injections which can be tailored to the client for a subtle plumping of the hip area.
How do Sculptra and Lanluma work?
Both Sculptra and Lanluma are very popular as hip dip treatments in the UK right now. Sculptra and Lanluma are quite similar – both of them are injectable products that stimulate your body’s own collagen and elastin development, with Lanluma being the newer of the two and offering a more dramatic plumping effect.
Lanluma injections help to add volume to the dip in the hip area, and also improve the appearance of skin by plumping indentations and smoothing cellulite. You are likely to need 2 – 3 sessions of Sculptra or Lanluma hip dip injections with one month between each session and the next. Results will take 3 – 6 months to be fully visible, and should last for approximately 2 years.

Hip dip FAQs
It typically takes four vials of Lanluma to correct hip dips, with a total cost of £4,000 over two visits. These treatments are not a cheap solution but are still ten times less expensive than undergoing plastic surgery – and with considerably less risk and better outcomes.
Sculptra and Lanluma are non-surgical treatments with very few side effects. The most common complaints include redness, swelling, and pain at the site of the injection.
