I had hip augmentation surgery at Dite Plastic Surgery in Seoul last year, and I’m genuinely so happy I chose them, especially Dr. Jun Wook Lee. I’ll share my experience in a little storyline format because when I was searching (probably like you are now!), I found real stories way more helpful than just star ratings.
The Decision:
For years, I struggled with hip dips and a generally straight figure. I tried workouts and glute exercises, but my bone structure just wasn’t going to change. That’s when I started seriously considering hip contouring surgery. After researching clinics in Korea (where they’re known for natural-looking results), I came across Dite Plastic Surgery. Their reputation for body contouring and the expertise of Dr. Jun Wook Lee (his profile here) caught my eye.
Consultation at Dite:
When I walked into Dite, I immediately felt reassured. The clinic is modern, clean, and felt more like a luxury spa than a medical facility. Dr. Lee was very professional yet warm — he carefully examined my body proportions and explained that he’d be using fat grafting (taking fat from areas like my thighs and tummy, purifying it, and then injecting it into my hips in layers for a smooth, natural curve).
What stood out to me was how much emphasis he put on balance and natural enhancement — not just adding volume, but making sure it fits my frame.
Surgery Day & Recovery:
The surgery itself went smoothly. I was under general anesthesia and woke up feeling groggy but not in major pain — more like I’d done an extreme workout. The team at Dite took excellent care of me. They provided a compression garment, detailed aftercare instructions, and even arranged lymphatic massages to reduce swelling and help with fat survival.
Recovery took time — the first week was tough, with swelling and some discomfort, but by week 3, I could already see my silhouette changing. Dr. Lee’s technique with multi-layered fat grafting really paid off because even during swelling, my hips looked rounded and smooth.
Results (1 year later):
Fast forward to today, my results are amazing. The curves look natural, not exaggerated, and they’ve stayed consistent over time. Clothes fit so much better, and I feel much more confident, especially in swimwear and fitted dresses. The fat that survived the transfer seems stable — Dr. Lee told me around 70% would remain long-term, and that matches my experience.
Would I Recommend Dite and Dr. Jun Wook Lee?
100% yes. If you want natural-looking, long-lasting hip enhancement, Dite Plastic Surgery is a fantastic choice. Dr. Lee is not only highly skilled but also very honest and patient, which made me trust him even more. You can learn more about them here.
If you’re someone who’s looking for subtle yet effective body contouring (not the overdone look), I can’t recommend them enough.
