NB Hip Design — design that looks at pelvic structure and line together
NB Hip Design

The hip should not be made bigger but designed to fit its structure

We analyze pelvic height, side hip, upper hip, hip dip, and the infragluteal line together to design a hip line that fits your body.

Patient Concern

Do you have concerns like these

  • 01

    My side hip is flat, so my clothes don't fit well

  • 02

    My upper hip looks sunken, so my back looks flat

  • 03

    My hip dip stands out, so the line breaks

  • 04

    My buttocks look long and square

  • 05

    The connection between waist and hip isn't smooth

Hip dip, a flat side hip, a sunken upper hip, a long square hip impression — these may not be problems that arise simply from a lack of flesh.

Pelvis Structure Insight

Why the hip line can look different even with the same pelvic width

Even with the same pelvic width, if the vertical length of the ilium is long, the waist space decreases, and because muscle must cover a longer pelvis, the side hip and upper hip can become relatively flat. In this case the vertical length of the buttocks itself increases, which can look square and sagging rather than round.

Same pelvic width·fixed lower ischium — comparison of three hip forms created by ilium-height difference (low-pelvis type / mid-pelvis type / high-pelvis type)

Left · center · right — same pelvic width · fixed ischium baseline · varying ilium height

Low-pelvis type

Ample waist space · round hip

The ilium is short, so waist space is sufficient, and the same soft tissue covers a shorter pelvis, bringing out side-hip·upper-hip volume.

Mid-pelvis type

Balanced type

The waist-hip ratio forms naturally, so it often looks like a round, dimensional hip impression.

High-pelvis type

Reduced waist space · long square hip

The ilium is long, so waist space decreases, and the muscle·fat that must cover a longer pelvis is dispersed, which can make the side hip flat and the buttocks look long.

* This is not a surgery that changes the pelvic bone itself, but a procedure that analyzes your innate structure and designs the soft-tissue line within the possible range.

Layer Mechanism

Bone · muscle · fat · skin a line the four layers create together

The hip line is created not by a single layer but by four overlapping ones — the skeleton (pelvis)·muscle coverage·fat layer·skin elasticity. Even the same amount of fat grafting gives a different result depending on which layer it settles in and how, so each layer must be evaluated individually before the procedure.

  • Skeleton

    Pelvic width·ilium height·ischium position — the baseline of the design

  • Muscle

    Gluteus maximus·medius coverage determines the side-hip/upper-hip volume impression

  • Fat

    Distribution·thickness·remaining amount — the possible grafting range and settling position

  • Skin

    Elasticity·direction of sagging — judging whether lifting is combined

Evaluation Map

Hip design evaluation factors — we look at 9 together

We evaluate pelvic height·waist-hip ratio·hip dip·upper-hip·side-hip volume·projection point·infragluteal fold·skin laxity·hip-thigh connection together. Even the same fat grafting differs by which area, at what depth, and how much to place, depending on the body structure.

NB Hip Design Process

From analysis to integrated design it proceeds in four steps

After analyzing the current hip line, we consider the lacking volume·direction of sagging·pelvic structure·skin elasticity together and decide step by step whether liposuction·fat grafting·lifting is used.

  1. 01

    Structure analysis

    We check pelvic width·ilium height, waist-hip ratio, and the position of the rearmost projection point together.

  2. 02

    Soft-tissue evaluation

    We evaluate upper-hip·side-hip volume, hip-dip depth, skin elasticity, and the direction of sagging.

  3. 03

    Direction decision

    We decide step by step whether liposuction·fat grafting·lifting is used and the extent of application.

  4. 04

    Integrated line design

    We finish with the whole-silhouette flow, including the waist·infragluteal line·thigh connection.

Doctor Consultation

The result is realistically designed in consultation

In the doctor's consultation we don't just check the hip shape you want. We look at pelvic height, muscle coverage, fat layer, skin elasticity, and the infragluteal line together and explain a realistically feasible hip-design direction.

  • Check height relative to pelvic width
  • Evaluate upper-hip and side-hip volume
  • Hip-dip depth and position
  • Rearmost projection point position
  • Infragluteal fold and skin sagging
  • Possible fat-grafting range
  • Whether lifting is combined

A balanced hip line — changes in the back and in how clothes fit
Wanted Lifestyle

A balanced hip line changes the impression of your back and how clothes fit, together

A balanced hip line changes not only the back but also the waistline, leg proportion, and the impression of how clothes fit. We aim for a natural line that harmonizes with the whole silhouette rather than excessive volume.

When the hip line alone is organized — the waistline, leg proportion, how clothes fit, and the back change together.

Waistline

A smooth waist-hip connection

Leg proportion

Organizing the infragluteal line makes the proportion look longer

How clothes fit

Bringing denim·leggings lines to life

Back

Connecting the upper-hip·side-hip·hip-dip flow

Why NB

Why design your hip at NB

Direct analysis by the doctor

The doctor personally looks at the pelvic structure and soft tissue and guides the design direction.

Integrated structure-line evaluation

We evaluate pelvic width·height, hip dip, upper-hip·side-hip, the infragluteal line, and skin laxity together.

Step-by-step direction decision

We decide step by step whether liposuction·fat grafting·lifting is applied, matched to the body condition.

Naturalness first

We prioritize a line balance that suits the body structure over excessive volume.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The shape of the pelvic bone does not change with surgery. NB Hip Design analyzes your innate pelvic structure and then designs the distribution and line of the fat·muscle·skin covering it. Structural information such as pelvic width·ilium height·waist space becomes the basis for deciding which area to add how much volume to and which line to organize.
