In case of quarantine

Even if quarantine is recommended or obligatory, whether it is in Belgium or in your home country, you will probably need a couple of weeks to recover after surgery before you can go back to work or resume your activities. Resting is key.

Hip augmentation

Table of contents:

Marilyn Monroe, Beyoncé, Scarlet Johansson, Sophia Loren, all beautiful women famous for their feminine figure. This is due to their hourglass figure: a small waist and wider hips. Women with an hourglass figure have a low waist-to-hip ratio – this is the ratio of the circumference of your waist to that of your hips. Women with an hourglass figure have a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, whereas for men, that is an average of 0.9.

Fat grafting

The most common hip augmentation method for transgender people is liposculpture or fat grafting. In the case of liposculpture, fat is removed from another part of the body, usually from the abdomen. It is the most natural choice. For this operation, you need to have enough natural body fat. If the fat in your abdominal area – or another part of your body – is transferred to your hips, around 40% of the fat injected will be absorbed by your body. The remaining 60% of the fat will remain on your hips permanently.

The operation is carried out by Dr Doornaert under local or general anaesthetic. Depending on the effect you want to achieve via hip augmentation, a second treatment can be carried out via fat grafting, around six months after the first operation.

And after the hip augmentation operation?

  • Avoid pressure on your hips so that the ‘new’ injected fat can be absorbed optimally by your body.
  • Don’t engage in sports for three weeks.

The cost

The cost depends on various factors. We advise you to schedule an initial consultation with Dr Maarten Doornaert. During this intake appointment, your surgery will be discussed in detail and all your questions will be answered. In this first consultation, you will also find out the cost.;
