Hip Dip Filler Before and After

How to Evaluate Filler Before and After Photos

Use the P-L-C standard: same Pose, same Lighting, same Clothing. Photos that differ in any of these cannot be honestly evaluated as a transformation. A before photo with side lighting and flat-foot stance will show a prominent dip. An after photo with flat front lighting and a slight hip shift will show a smooth contour — with zero physical change. This is the most common deception in filler marketing.

Real Sculptra Before and After Timeline

  • Before: Dip visible in flat front lighting.
  • Day 1: Area over-filled, swollen. This is NOT the result.
  • Week 1: Swelling resolved. Area looks under-filled. This is correct.
  • Month 1: First collagen volume emerging. Subtle softening visible.
  • Month 3: Substantial filling. Smooth contour. This is the real result.

Real HA Filler Before and After Timeline

  • Before: Dip visible.
  • Day 1: Immediate volume + swelling. Over-filled appearance.
  • Week 1: Swelling resolved. Stable result.
  • Month 6: Result maintained. Filler still present.
  • Month 12-18: Gradual fade. Touch-up needed.

Questions to Ask When Viewing Photos

  • "When was this photo taken relative to treatment?" (Day 3 swelling photos are misleading)
  • "Is this the same lighting and pose as the before photo?"
  • "How many vials were used for this result?"
  • "Is this a typical result or your best result?"
  • "Can I see the results at 6 months, not 1 week?"
