4 hip-up surgery methods
Hip-up surgery methods include autologous fat graft and implant insertion, and it is important to choose the procedure that suits your body shape.

Hip-up surgery with implants
Hip-up surgery with implants is performed by inserting implants beneath the gluteus muscle through an incision in the gluteal cleft. You can feel a clearer volume increase than with fat graft, and the hips with added volume look much more lifted than before, the waist looks more defined and the legs look longer.
1. Before surgery: buttocks without volume 2. Implant insertion: soft implants are inserted under the muscle 3. After surgery: lifted buttocks with restored volume
Implants designed for hip-up surgery Ruby uses implants officially approved by the Korean MFDS and the US FDA.
Precise surgery Because the implant is inserted precisely between the gluteal muscle layers, the burden of pain after surgery is reduced and the implant is kept from being felt or seen from the outside.
Less worry about scars The surgery is performed through an incision in the center between the two buttocks, and the incision line is hidden in the gluteal cleft after surgery, so the scar is hard to see.
Long-lasting effect With a size and volume designed for each person, you get a volume effect that considers your body line, and the effect tends to last for a long time (varies from person to person).

Hip-up surgery with fat graft
Hip-up surgery with fat graft is performed when a large volume is not needed. It generally supplements areas of partial sagging: fat is suctioned from the somewhat sagging lower area and grafted into the upper area that lacks volume.
1. Fat harvesting: fat is harvested from the thighs, abdomen and other areas 2. Fat separation: fat is separated using a centrifuge 3. Separating only pure fat: only pure fat is separated from the fat 4. Moving into the grafting syringe: the pure fat is moved into the grafting syringe 5. Fat graft to the buttocks after design: the area to be grafted is designed, then fat is grafted 6. After buttock fat graft: the buttocks change to a fuller shape
A process to improve graft survival In Ruby's fat-grafting hip-up surgery, fat is first separated with a centrifuge and then filtered once more so that only pure fat is collected. The fat particles are divided into smaller pieces, and the fat is injected evenly into several layers of the buttocks to reduce lumps that can be felt and to improve graft survival (varies from person to person).
Detailed procedure The surgery is performed delicately by a medical team experienced in fat graft, so you can get an attractive hip line from any angle, and a second procedure can be done if needed to provide a more satisfying volume.
Body shaping through removing excess fat Because the fat needed for the buttocks is harvested from the thighs or abdomen, it also helps remove excess fat, creating firm buttock volume while removing unneeded fat for a two-in-one effect.

Hip-up surgery with thread lifting
We perform hip-up procedures by inserting Elasticum threads. The fixation points of the thread are distributed, which can ease pain and allow effective hip lifting.
1. Before surgery: after sufficient consultation, we design the areas that need hip lifting. 2. Hip lifting: the hips are lifted using Elasticum. 3. After surgery: sagging buttocks are lifted naturally.
Natural movement It has a structure in which highly elastic silicone in the center is wrapped by a polyester thread, giving strong elasticity. Like a real ligament, it allows natural movement and improved skin elasticity.
Quick recovery It is a special thread with natural movement, softness and elasticity like a real ligament, with Anchor Needles attached at the ends.
Long-lasting Unlike threads that dissolve after a certain period, it maintains the lifting effect for a long time.

Hip-up surgery with fillers
The principle is to inject filler into the skin to fill volume. It helps strengthen buttock volume and firmness in particular, forming a smooth hip line. Above all, you can adjust the buttock volume as much as you like, making a customized body line design possible. Because it is a simple injection procedure, it also eases the burden of surgery and scars.
1. Before the procedure: after sufficient consultation, we design the necessary areas. 2. Filler injection: after anesthesia, filler is injected into areas lacking volume. 3. After the procedure: the volume of thin buttocks is filled.
Certified genuine filler products The procedure uses certified genuine filler products.
Optimal amount at the exact location Injecting the optimal amount at the necessary location can produce a natural result.
A three-dimensional, voluminous figure A simple filler procedure can create a three-dimensional, voluminous figure.

After separating fat with a centrifuge, only pure fat is filtered and moved into a grafting syringe.
