01
No Fat Harvesting Required
Surgical fat transfer to the hips only works if you have fat to spare. Many of the patients most bothered by hip dips are slim or athletic, which rules them out. alloClae® removes that requirement entirely.
Hip dips are natural indentations along the sides of the hips.Until now, the only real fix was a surgical fat transfer, and that requires enough fat to harvest, which many patients simply do not have. alloClae treatment for hip dips fills in the hollow using donated adipose tissue, so there is no liposuction, no surgery, and no need to have extra fat of your own.
What Are Hip Dips, and Why Won't Exercise Fix Them?
Hip dips are the inward curves on the outer sides of the hips, sitting between the hip bone and the top of the thigh bone. Some people barely notice theirs. For others, the indent is deep enough to show through leggings, jeans, and swimwear.
The dip exists because of the distance between two bones: the top of your pelvis and the top of your femur. Skin and soft tissue sink inward in the space between them. Since no muscle fills that exact spot, glute workouts cannot round it out. In some cases, building the surrounding muscle actually makes the dip look deeper.
How Does alloClae® Fill In Hip Dips?
alloClae® filler is made from donated human fat tissue. It keeps the natural structure of real adipose, including the fat cells, connective tissue, and supporting matrix, so once placed it sits and feels like the fat that would naturally be there.
Dr. Sajan places the tissue under the skin, directly into the dip on each side. The volume fills the hollow and rounds out the line from your waist down to your thigh. Because the material is real fat tissue rather than a synthetic gel, it holds its shape over the broad, curved surface of the hip and moves naturally when you walk or sit.
There is no harvesting step. Traditional fat grafting to the hips means liposuction first, an operating room, and a second area of your body that has to heal. With alloClae® fat transfer, the tissue is ready to go, and the whole visit takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Hip Dip Correction?
Hip Dips with alloClae® may be right for you if:
- Your hip dips bother you in fitted clothing, leggings, or swimwear
- You have tried glute and hip exercises without any change in the indentation
- You are too lean for a surgical fat transfer or BBL
- One hip dips in more than the other and you want better balance
- You want a rounder hip line without implants or surgery
- You cannot take weeks off for surgical recovery
As with any hip dip correction, candidacy comes down to your anatomy, skin quality, health history, and goals. Deeper dips need more volume than shallow ones, and Dr. Sajan will tell you honestly what alloClae® can and cannot do for your frame. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing significant health conditions may need to wait or consider other options.
What Happens During the Appointment?
- Standing assessment: Hip dips look different lying down than standing, so Dr. Sajan marks the borders of each dip while you stand in a natural position.
- Planning: He measures how much volume each side needs. Most patients need different amounts on each side, since hip dips are rarely symmetrical.
- Numbing and placement: After local numbing, the tissue is placed in thin layers under the skin until the hollow is filled evenly and both sides match.
- Final check: You will stand again so Dr. Sajan can confirm the curve looks smooth from the front, back, and side before you leave.
What are the Benefits of alloClae for Hip Dips?
02
Done in the Office, Not the Operating Room
Local numbing only. No general anesthesia, no incisions, no drains. You walk in and walk out the same day.
03
You See the Change Right Away
The volume is visible as soon as it is placed. Swelling settles over the following weeks, and the result softens into its final shape.
04
Each Side Treated Individually
Because placement is done by hand in small amounts, Dr. Sajan can put more volume in the deeper side and less in the shallower side. An implant or standard approach cannot match that level of control.
05
Uses Donor Adipose Tissue
The outer hip takes pressure constantly, from side sleeping to sitting to waistbands. Since alloClae® is real adipose tissue, it compresses and moves the way natural fat does rather than feeling firm or foreign under the skin.
How Much Does AlloClae Hip Dips Cost?
At Allure Esthetic alloClae hip dips treatment costs $100 per cc, with a 10 cc minimum.
| Volume | Cost at Allure Esthetic |
|---|---|
| 10 cc | $1,000 |
| 25 cc | $2,500 |
| 50 cc | $5,000 |
| 75 cc | $7,500 |
| 100 cc | $10,000 |
The total cost depends on the amount of alloClae® recommended for your treatment. After assessing both hips, Dr. Sajan can explain the proposed volume and estimated cost based on your goals.
alloClae® vs Surgical Fat Transfer for Hip Dips
| Feature | AlloClae | Fat Transfer |
|---|---|---|
| Uses your own fat | No | Yes |
| Liposuction required | No | Usually yes |
| Donor area needed | No | Yes |
| Adds localized volume | Yes | Yes |
| Suitable for smaller contour corrections | Yes | Yes |
| Can provide larger-volume reshaping | More limited | Generally more suitable |
| Recovery | Typically shorter | More involved |
Is alloClae Safe for Hip Dip Correction?
Safety matters with any injectable or tissue-based treatment. alloClae® is marketed as an HCT/P (Human Cell and Tissue Product) and meets the FDA's HCT/P regulations. Every donor is screened, and the tissue is tested for transmissible diseases during processing.
The outer hip is also a forgiving treatment area, away from major vessels and delicate structures, though skilled placement still matters for an even, natural result. As with any procedure, risks exist, and Dr. Sajan will go over your health history and discuss benefits and risks with you before treatment.
Recovery After alloClae® Hip Dip Treatment
First 24 to 48 hours: Expect some swelling over the treated areas, soreness that feels similar to a hard leg workout, and possibly light bruising. The hips may look slightly fuller than the final result while swelling is present.
Getting back to normal:
- Most patients are back to regular daily activity within 24 to 48 hours, in line with the manufacturer's guidance, though everyone heals at their own pace
- Try to sleep on your back for the first few nights to keep pressure off your sides
- Hold off on squats, lunges, running, and heavy lifting for about a week
- Skip tight waistbands and firm shapewear over the hips until Dr. Sajan clears you

Frequently Asked Questions
Is alloClae® a fat transfer for hip dips?
alloClae® uses processed donor adipose tissue rather than fat taken from your own body through liposuction. This means it does not require fat harvesting. A consultation can help determine whether it is suitable for your hip dip concerns.
Where can I get alloClae for hip dips near me?
If you are looking for alloClae® treatment for hip dips in Seattle, Allure Esthetic offers consultations to discuss your body contouring goals. Your provider can assess your anatomy and explain whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
Is alloClae for hip dips permanent?
Results are meant to be long-lasting, and some settling is normal as swelling resolves. Weight changes and natural aging can affect how long results hold. Dr. Sajan will talk through what to expect and whether a touch-up might help down the road.
How Much alloClae® Is Needed for Hip Dips?
It depends on how deep the dips are and how much rounding you want. Shallow dips may need modest amounts per side, while deeper hollows need more. Your plan is measured out at your standing assessment.
Does the treatment hurt?
The area is numbed first, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Afterward, the hips feel sore for a day or two, similar to a tough workout, and over-the-counter pain relief is usually enough.
Can I sit and sleep normally afterward?
Sitting is fine right away. Sleeping on your sides should wait a few nights so you are not pressing on the fresh placement. Dr. Sajan will give you specific timing at your visit.
