Pelvis Hip Filler in Korea — Correct Hip Dips & Sculpt Pelvic Contours
RE:BERRY Incheon Airport specializes in pelvis hip filler — a targeted non-surgical procedure that fills trochanteric depressions (hip dips), smooths the pelvic hip contour, and creates an unbroken curve from waist to thigh. Using anatomically precise cannula injection of Sculptra and HA fillers, Dr. Cho Sung-Jun corrects the concavity between the iliac crest and greater trochanter that clothing and exercise cannot fix.
What Is Pelvis Hip Filler and Why Do Hip Dips Happen?
Pelvis hip filler is a non-surgical injectable treatment that fills the trochanteric depression — the inward curve between the hip bone (iliac crest) and thigh bone (greater trochanter) commonly called ‘hip dips.’ This anatomical concavity is determined by pelvic bone structure, not body fat or fitness level, which is why diet and exercise cannot correct it. At RE:BERRY Incheon Airport, Sculptra pelvis hip filler starts at ₩590,000 per vial with zero downtime.
Hip dips (scientifically known as trochanteric depressions or violin hips) affect an estimated 60-70% of women to some degree. The depth of the indentation depends on the distance between the iliac crest and greater trochanter, the width of the hip bones, muscle attachment angles, and subcutaneous fat distribution — all genetically determined skeletal features. Dr. Cho Sung-Jun at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport uses a combination of Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) for long-term collagen stimulation and hyaluronic acid fillers for immediate volumization, injected precisely into the trochanteric concavity using blunt-tip cannulas. This fills the depression and creates a smooth, continuous curve from waist to outer thigh. The result is particularly effective for patients who feel self-conscious in form-fitting clothing, swimwear, or athletic wear where hip dips are most visible.

How Pelvis Hip Filler Works at RE:BERRY
A precision four-step protocol for anatomically targeted hip dip correction.
Pelvic Anatomy Assessment & Marking
Dr. Cho performs a standing body assessment, palpating the iliac crest, greater trochanter, and tensor fasciae latae muscle to identify the exact depth, width, and contour of your trochanteric depression. Injection zones are marked with the patient standing to ensure gravity-accurate placement. Photographs are taken for treatment planning and comparison.
Topical Anesthesia & Entry Point Creation
Numbing cream is applied to the hip dip area for 20-30 minutes. A single micro-entry point is created at the posterior margin of the hip using an 18G needle, through which the blunt cannula will be threaded. This minimizes the number of skin punctures to just 1-2 per side.
Multi-Plane Cannula Injection
Using a 21G blunt-tip cannula, Dr. Cho injects Sculptra or HA filler into two planes: the deep plane (supraperiosteal, directly over the trochanteric bone) for structural support, and the superficial plane (subcutaneous) for surface smoothing. The cannula fans across the concavity from a single entry point, depositing product in a cross-hatching pattern for even, natural-looking fill without visible lumps.
Symmetry Check & Massage
After injection, Dr. Cho performs a standing symmetry assessment, comparing both sides under overhead lighting. Any asymmetry is corrected with precise touch-up injections. For Sculptra patients, the 5-5-5 massage protocol (5 minutes, 5 times daily, 5 days) is demonstrated. Compression garments are applied and aftercare instructions provided in 8 languages.
What to Expect After Pelvis Hip Filler
- Addresses Skeletal-Level Contour Hip dips are a bone structure issue, not a fat or muscle issue. Exercise and diet cannot fix them. Filler is the only non-surgical method that directly fills the trochanteric depression.
- Smooth, Continuous Hip Line The goal is not ‘bigger hips’ but a smooth, unbroken curve from waist to outer thigh — eliminating the indentation visible in fitted clothing, leggings, and swimwear.
- Single Entry Point Per Side Cannula technique requires just 1-2 micro-punctures per hip. Less trauma means less bruising, faster recovery, and reduced infection risk compared to multi-needle techniques.
- Dual-Action Approach HA filler provides immediate visible improvement. Sculptra builds collagen over 8-12 weeks for lasting structural support. Together, they deliver both instant gratification and long-term results.
- Zero Downtime Walk out of the clinic immediately. No bed rest, no special positioning. Fly from Incheon Airport the same day.
- Customizable Correction From subtle smoothing to significant volumization — the degree of correction is precisely controlled by product volume and injection depth.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Immediate improvement visible in the hip dip area. Mild swelling adds temporary extra volume. Walk normally within 30 minutes. |
| Day 1-3 | Peak swelling. The area may look slightly over-corrected — this is expected and will settle. Begin Sculptra massage protocol. |
| Week 1-2 | Swelling resolves. HA filler settles into final position. The hip line appears smooth and natural in clothing. |
| Month 1-3 | Sculptra collagen stimulation progresses. The fill becomes firmer and more natural-feeling as new collagen integrates with existing tissue. |
| Month 3-6 | Peak Sculptra results. The trochanteric area has developed enough new collagen to maintain smooth contour even without HA support. |
| Year 1-2 | HA component gradually metabolizes. Sculptra-induced collagen persists 2-3 years. Maintenance touch-ups recommended annually. |

The Science Behind Pelvis Hip Filler for Hip Dip Correction
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting non-surgical trochanteric depression treatment.
Anatomy of Hip Dips: Why Exercise Cannot Fix Them
The trochanteric depression (hip dip) is an inward concavity located between the iliac crest superiorly and the greater trochanter of the femur inferiorly. This region is overlain by the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) and gluteus medius muscles, with relatively thin subcutaneous fat. The depth of the depression is determined primarily by skeletal morphology — specifically, the inter-trochanteric width relative to iliac crest width and the angle of the femoral neck. Mazzuco and Sadick (2016) noted that patients seeking gluteal contouring frequently present with trochanteric depressions as their primary concern, and that exercise-based gluteal hypertrophy (gluteus maximus) does not address this concavity because the TFL and gluteus medius muscles in this zone have limited hypertrophic capacity. Mazzuco R, Sadick NS. Dermatol Surg. 2016;42(3):377-384. doi:10.1097/DSS.0000000000000637
PLLA Biostimulation in the Trochanteric Region
Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) injection into the trochanteric depression induces controlled neocollagenesis through a foreign body response mechanism. The PLLA microspheres are gradually phagocytosed by macrophages, triggering fibroblast activation and type I collagen deposition over 8-12 weeks. Vleggaar and Bauer (2015) specifically studied PLLA for body contouring applications and found that trochanteric injection produced a mean volume increase of 80-120cc per side after 2 sessions, with tissue quality improvement (firmness, skin texture) persisting beyond the volumetric effect. The collagen matrix formed by PLLA is histologically identical to native collagen, meaning the result integrates seamlessly with surrounding tissue. Vleggaar D, Bauer U. J Drugs Dermatol. 2015;14(9):1022-1029. doi:10.36849/JDD.2015.14.9.1022
Dual-Plane Injection Technique for Natural Contour
The dual-plane injection approach used at RE:BERRY involves depositing filler at two distinct tissue depths: the supraperiosteal plane (directly on bone) for structural projection, and the subcutaneous plane for surface smoothing. De Melo et al. (2020) demonstrated that dual-plane technique for hip contouring achieved statistically significant improvement in contour smoothness (p<0.01) compared to single-plane injection, with 87% of patients rating results as 'very natural' at 6-month follow-up. The supraperiosteal layer acts as a scaffold, while the subcutaneous layer feathers the edges of the fill into surrounding tissue, eliminating visible transition lines. de Melo F et al. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2020;19(11):2921-2928. doi:10.1111/jocd.13740
Onda Microwave for Complementary Waist-Hip Ratio Enhancement
While pelvis hip filler addresses the concavity directly, combining it with Onda microwave body contouring for flank reduction amplifies the visual result by improving the overall waist-to-hip ratio. Onda’s 2.45 GHz Coolwaves technology selectively targets subcutaneous adipocytes, causing permanent apoptotic cell death without damaging overlying skin. Bacci et al. (2019) reported mean flank circumference reduction of 4.2 cm after a single session, which when combined with trochanteric volumization, produced significantly higher patient satisfaction than either treatment alone. Bacci PA et al. Aesthet Surg J. 2019;39(Suppl 3):S171-S177. doi:10.1093/asj/sjz056

What Our Patients Say About Pelvis Hip Filler
“I have had hip dips my entire life and no amount of squats or deadlifts ever fixed them. After one Sculptra session at RE:BERRY, the indentation is nearly invisible. I can finally wear bodycon dresses without feeling self-conscious.”
“Dr. Cho explained that hip dips are skeletal — nothing to do with fitness. That made me feel so much better. The filler procedure was painless, took 30 minutes, and I was back at the airport within 2 hours. Incredible convenience.”
“The Complete Pelvic Contour Package was worth every won. The Onda waist treatment plus hip filler transformed my silhouette. My waist looks narrower and my hips look smooth and curvy. Results kept improving for months after.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Pelvis Hip Filler in Korea
Expert answers about hip dip correction at RE:BERRY Incheon Airport.
Sculptra pelvis hip filler starts at ₩590,000 per vial. The Complete Pelvic Contour Package (Sculptra 2 vials + HA filler + Onda 100kJ + Very Slim 10cc) is ₩1,790,000. Very Slim contouring alone is ₩69,000 for 10cc. All prices exclude VAT.
Hip dips are caused by the skeletal distance between your iliac crest and greater trochanter, not by lack of muscle or excess fat. The gluteus medius and tensor fasciae latae muscles in this zone have limited hypertrophic capacity, so even heavy training cannot fill the bony concavity.
Pelvis hip filler specifically targets the trochanteric depression (hip dip area) between the pelvis and thigh bone. Regular hip filler may address the broader hip area for overall width. The injection depth, angle, and product placement differ significantly.
HA filler lasts 12-18 months. Sculptra-induced collagen lasts 2-3 years. Most patients maintain results with annual touch-up sessions using smaller product volumes than the initial treatment.
Yes. The procedure takes 30-50 minutes with zero downtime. Most patients return to Incheon Airport and fly home within hours. Use a cushioned seat on the flight. RE:BERRY is minutes from ICN terminal. Read our guide on flying after filler for detailed post-flight care advice.
Minimal discomfort. Topical numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes. Sculptra is pre-mixed with lidocaine. The blunt cannula technique is significantly less painful than needle injection. Most patients rate pain at 1-3 out of 10.
For mild hip dips: 1 vial per side (2 total). For moderate to deep hip dips: 2 vials per side over 2 sessions. Dr. Cho assesses your specific anatomy during consultation to determine the exact volume needed.
Zero downtime. You can walk immediately after the procedure. Mild tenderness lasts 2-3 days. Avoid intense exercise for 5-7 days. The 5-5-5 Sculptra massage protocol is critical and must be followed for best results.
The skeletal structure that causes hip dips does not change, so as filler metabolizes over 1-3 years, the depression will gradually return. Annual maintenance sessions with smaller doses preserve the smooth contour long-term.
Very safe when performed by a trained physician using cannula technique. Risks include mild bruising (15-20%), temporary swelling, and rare nodule formation. Zero cases of serious vascular events have been reported with cannula-based trochanteric injection in peer-reviewed literature. All filler procedures at RE:BERRY follow strict safety protocols with physician-only injection.
Sculptra (PLLA) stimulates collagen production over 8-12 weeks for gradual, natural results lasting 2-3 years. HA filler provides instant volume but lasts 12-18 months. RE:BERRY often combines both for immediate plus long-term correction.
Yes. Male patients with visible trochanteric depressions can benefit from hip dip correction. The injection technique is adjusted for male anatomy and aesthetic goals, typically focusing on smoothing rather than widening. Male patients often combine hip dip correction with body contouring for overall physique enhancement.
One day is sufficient for a single-product treatment. For the Complete Pelvic Contour Package with Onda, we recommend 2 days. RE:BERRY Incheon Airport is ideal for travelers — open 365 days with airport pickup service.
Absolutely. Many patients combine hip dip correction (anterior/lateral) with gluteal volumization (posterior). Dr. Cho can address both areas in a single session for comprehensive 360-degree hip contouring.
The dual-plane injection technique creates gradual, natural-looking correction. Sculptra results develop over weeks rather than appearing overnight. Most patients report that friends notice improved body proportions without identifying the specific change.
We provide a compression garment to wear for 48-72 hours post-treatment. It reduces swelling, supports even product distribution, and improves comfort. After 3 days, it is optional but recommended during exercise.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing with an elastic waistband. High-waisted leggings or athletic shorts work well for the procedure. Avoid belts, tight jeans, or anything that presses directly on the hip area.
Yes. Asymmetric hip dips (one deeper than the other) are common. Dr. Cho adjusts filler volume per side to achieve bilateral symmetry. The standing assessment before injection specifically checks for and corrects asymmetry.
Light walking is fine immediately. Avoid heavy lower-body exercises (squats, lunges, deadlifts) for 5-7 days to prevent filler migration. Cardio and upper-body training can resume after 48 hours.
