“What are hip dips and can they be corrected?”

Hip dips are natural indentations at the outer hips. Fat transfer can smooth and round this area, especially when blended over an implant.

Why combine implants and fat?

Implants provide stable volume, while fat allows custom shaping, especially in the hips and upper buttocks. Together, they achieve better balance and realism.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for implants + fat transfer?

If you’re too lean for only fat transfer or want more projection and structure than fat alone can give, you may benefit from the hybrid approach.

Will it feel natural?

Yes — the fat layer over the implant ensures a soft, smooth contour. Patients report excellent comfort and satisfaction over time.

Can this be revised if I had a previous BBL or implant?

Yes — hybrid gluteal augmentation is also ideal for revision surgery, correcting irregularities or improving underwhelming results from previous procedures.

Hybrid Gluteal Augmentation in Abu Dhabi

Q: What is Hybrid Gluteal Augmentation?

It’s a combination of gluteal implants and fat grafting, along with 360 liposuction. It offers more projection than fat alone, and a softer, more natural look than implants alone.

A signature enhancement by Dr. Bravo, combining 360 liposuction, gluteal implants, and fat transfer to sculpt a fuller, rounder, and more balanced backside — with special attention to hip dips.

What Is Hybrid Gluteal Augmentation?

Hybrid Gluteal Augmentation is an advanced combination procedure that enhances the shape and projection of the buttocks using both gluteal implants and autologous fat transfer — paired with 360° liposuction for full-torso contouring and waist reduction.

While gluteal implants provide firm projection and core volume, fat grafting is used to blend, shape, and correct hip dips, ensuring a soft, smooth transition between the lower back, hips, and buttocks. This creates a harmonious, rounder, and natural-looking silhouette that looks good from every angle.

Why Choose the Hybrid Approach?

This is the ideal solution for patients seeking maximum enhancement with natural feel and long-term results.

Implants alone may appear too firm or round, especially at the edges

Fat transfer alone may not provide enough volume or projection, especially in lean patients
