NB BODY VOLUME DESIGN
Body Design · Body Volume Design
Body filler, designed for connection rather than volume
We do not fill a single point on the hip dip, pelvis or shoulder. We analyse the neighbouring regions and your overall proportions, then discuss whether filler, fat grafting or lifting suits you.
The suitable method and treatment range may vary with your figure, the condition of your skin and soft tissue, and the material used.
WHERE THE LINE BREAKS
Some gaps in the line remain even with training
A lack of volume may be part of it, but the real concern is often that the connection breaks between waist and pelvis, pelvis and thigh, or neck and shoulder.
01
The side of my pelvis looks hollow
The lateral pelvis appears to curve inward when seen from the side.
02
My waist runs straight into my pelvis
The transition from waist to pelvis is so gradual that the whole line reads as flat.
03
From behind, my outer hip looks empty
The upper outer contour of the hip appears unfilled when seen from the back.
04
My left and right hips look different
Posture, skeletal shape and tissue volume can make the two sides read differently.
05
My shoulders look narrow or sloped
Volume at the outer acromion or the slope of the shoulder can make the shoulders read as narrow.
06
The border between trapezius and shoulder bothers me
A thick line from neck to shoulder can make the neck appear shorter.
Once you know which point concerns you most, the questions worth asking in consultation become clear.
Choose the area that concerns meCONNECTED LINE
Before filling a point, we look at the line it belongs to
The impression of a figure comes from the curve that carries into the next region, not from the size of one part. NB reads the front, oblique, side and back together along two axes.
HIP – PELVIS AXIS
From waist to thigh
Filling only the hip dip can change how wide the pelvis reads while leaving the connection above and below unchanged.
- Waist
- Upper hip
- Lateral hip
- Hip dip
- Hip
- Thigh
SHOULDER AXIS
From neck to upper arm
A shoulder is never read by its angle alone; neck length, clavicle direction and the deltoid transition are read with it.
- Neck
- Clavicle
- Acromion
- Lateral shoulder
- Deltoid
- Upper arm
Before deciding what to fill, we decide how far the line has to travel.
NB BODY VOLUME FINDER
Which direction of consultation does your concern call for?
Four questions to organise what concerns you now. This is a preparation guide for consultation, not a diagnosis and not a treatment decision.
STEP 1 / 4
Which area concerns you most?
HIP & PELVIS
Not filling the hip dip alone, but connecting waist to thigh
Two hip dips that look alike can need different ranges, depending on whether the upper pelvic transition, the width of the lateral hip or the hip contour is the cause.
01
HIP DIP
Hip dip
The localised hollow between the pelvis and the thigh. We separate the cases that come from skeletal shape from those that come from tissue volume.
02
UPPER HIP
Upper hip
The transition where the pelvis begins below the waist. When that transition is too gradual, waist and pelvis read as a single straight line.
03
SIDE HIP
Lateral hip
The outer pelvic line seen from the front and the oblique view. It is the first segment to show through the silhouette of clothing.
04
GLUTEAL CONTOUR
Gluteal contour
The localised hip contour seen from the back and the side. The curvature of the upper outer region shapes the impression more than the quantity of volume.
Overfilling the hip dip alone can widen how the pelvis reads while making the connection to waist and thigh look less natural. NB reads the front, oblique, side and back together to define the range that is actually needed.
Send a photograph first and we will begin by setting out which segments should be read together.
Compare hip and pelvis optionsSHOULDER
What matters more than angle is the balance from neck to upper arm
Narrow-looking shoulders do not have a single cause. Because the right method follows from the cause, we separate them first.
- The length relationship between neck and shoulder
- The direction of the clavicle
- The acromion and the lateral shoulder contour
- The transition from deltoid to upper arm
- Height difference and asymmetry between the two sides
- Whether the trapezius is developed
Not every narrow or sloped shoulder is a candidate for filler. After separating skeletal shape, deltoid contour, trapezius development and asymmetry, we discuss whether filler, botulinum toxin or another method suits you.
Soft tissue augmentation of the shoulder is not yet an area with a well established body of clinical evidence. We do not present it as a generalised procedure; we begin by discussing whether it is suitable at all, after an anatomical assessment.
The method follows the cause. Start by finding out which factor is leading.
Discuss my shoulder lineMETHOD COMPARISON
What kind of change you need comes before what to fill it with
These three are not substitutes for one another but options with different indications. Once the nature of the change you need is settled, the method follows.
| Criterion | Body filler | Fat grafting | Lifting and surgery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Localised hollow, asymmetry | Broad, structural volume | Sagging, tissue position |
| Range of change | Limited | Moderate to broad | Structural |
| Donor fat | Not required | Required | Varies by method |
| Recovery burden | Relatively light | Surgical recovery required | Varies by procedure |
| Longevity | Varies by product | Graft survival, individual variation | Varies by method |
| Revisability | Varies by material | Limited | May require further surgery |
| Consider first when | The area is small | The whole figure is changing | Sagging or structure is the issue |
Longevity and reversibility depend on the material actually used. We explain the characteristics of the planned product during consultation.
NB 360° DESIGN PROCESS
From how you stand to how the line carries when you move
A photograph from one direction makes it hard to separate a real asymmetry from the effect of posture. We follow a fixed order.
01
Front, oblique, side and back analysis
The same region reads differently by direction. We look at all four and find where the line breaks.
02
Separating bone, muscle, fat and skin
The same hollow calls for a different method when the cause differs. We identify the leading factor first.
03
Reading neighbouring regions and overall proportion
We do not look at one region alone; we read the segments that carry above and below it.
04
Deciding material, range and staging
We define the range needed and decide together whether to proceed at once or in stages.
05
Follow-up and further adjustment if needed
We review the course and discuss whether any further adjustment is appropriate.
The steps actually carried out and their order may vary with your condition and clinical judgement.
SAFETY & LIMITS
Filler is a medical procedure and its limits are explained with its possibilities
The following reactions and complications are reported in soft tissue augmentation of body regions. Whether and to what degree they occur varies between individuals.
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Pain
- Infection
- Nodules or lumping
- Asymmetry between the two sides
- Contour irregularity
- Migration of the material
- Skin or vascular complications
- The possibility that further treatment or removal becomes necessary
About products and approved indications
The material used and the areas and range that can be treated may vary with the approved indications of each product, the condition of your tissue and clinical judgement. During consultation we explain the characteristics of the product to be used, the change that can be expected and its limits.
This page does not state a fixed dose, longevity or procedure time for any particular product. That information is explained individually in consultation, once the product to be used has been confirmed.
IN EVERYDAY CLOTHES
The change is felt in a silhouette, not in cubic centimetres
What you need may not be sheer volume but balance: shoulder and pelvis, waist and hip reading as one continuous line in activewear and in everyday clothes alike.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
It is less a difference in name than in the segment being addressed. Hip dip usually refers to the localised hollow between pelvis and thigh, while pelvic filler more often refers to the upper transition from waist to pelvis and the outer connecting line. Even with the same concern, the range needed changes with where the line actually breaks, so we separate them in consultation.
It depends on the range of change you need. For a relatively narrow hollow or a difference between the two sides, localised correction can be considered first. Where a broad change in volume is needed, comparing autologous fat grafting gives you a clearer basis for the decision. The two differ in recovery burden and in revisability, so both are explained together.
No. Skeletal slope, deltoid contour, trapezius development and asymmetry have different causes and call for different methods. Where a developed trapezius is the leading cause, a method other than augmentation may suit you better, so we separate the causes first.
This page does not state a fixed quantity. The range needed changes with the area, the condition of the tissue and the characteristics of the material used, and the two sides may differ even within the same area. We explain it individually after an in-person assessment.
It differs by material, and even the same material behaves differently by area and between individuals. We do not state a fixed duration without a basis for it; we explain it together with the approved indications of the product once it has been confirmed.
We separate the cause first. A difference arising from posture or pelvic tilt is approached differently from one arising from tissue volume. Where tissue volume is the leading cause, localised correction can be considered, but perfect symmetry is not guaranteed.
Swelling, bruising, pain, infection, nodules or lumping, asymmetry, contour irregularity, migration of the material and skin or vascular complications are reported. In some cases further treatment or removal becomes necessary. We explain the possible reactions and how they would be managed during consultation.
Yes. The plan does change with what material was used, where and how much, so any records you have are helpful to bring. Without records, we assess by palpation and history at the in-person consultation.
It depends on the areas, the range and your individual condition. The broader the range, the more often staging is the better fit, so we set priorities together before planning.
Full body photographs taken in close-fitting clothing from the front, oblique, side and back are helpful. Taking them in the same light and the same posture makes left-right differences easier to read. Please also tell us about any previous procedures and any history of weight change.
Cases treated with body filler alone are not yet published on this site. Body design cases including fat grafting and liposuction can be seen on the case page.
After the procedure, with you when needed
Petit procedures do not include a separate aftercare program; if swelling care is needed after the procedure, it is offered at 50% of the cost.
Legal Notice
※ If care cannot be provided due to reasons such as equipment malfunction, the affected care item may not be offered; as a service item, it is non-refundable.
※ Depending on your constitution and response, reactions such as swelling, bruising, and inflammation may occur after the procedure.
CONSULTATION
Which volume method suits my figure?
Leave only the area that concerns you and the change you want, and we will guide the direction of consultation so that body filler, fat grafting and other methods can be compared.
A consultation is not a medical examination; suitability is judged after an in-person assessment.
Results and the course of recovery may vary between individuals.
