My cousin had hip-up surgery at TJ Plastic Surgery in Seoul, and based on her experience, the initial recovery took about 1 to 2 weeks. She was able to move around slowly after the first few days, but full recovery—where she could sit comfortably and go back to normal workouts—took around 4 to 6 weeks. The clinic gave really clear aftercare instructions, which helped a lot.
She was treated by Dr. Tack-Jin Chang, and she felt he was both skilled and very attentive to detail. The results looked natural and gave her a more lifted silhouette without looking exaggerated.
A friend of mine had hip-up plastic surgery at TJ Plastic Surgery in Seoul, coordinated through Cloud Hospital. According to Dr. Tack-Jin Chang and the clinic’s advice, the initial recovery period usually lasts around 2 to 3 weeks. During this time, swelling and soreness are common, so resting and avoiding sitting directly on the hips is important to protect the results.
Most patients, including my friend, can gradually return to light daily activities after about two weeks but are advised to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks. The clinic’s thorough follow-up care and clear aftercare instructions helped her recover smoothly and maintain the surgery’s long-lasting effects.
One of my close friends had a hip-up procedure at TJ Plastic Surgery Clinic and shared that the initial recovery took about two weeks, with some swelling and limited movement. Full recovery, including being able to sit and move comfortably, took around five to six weeks. She said Dr. Tack-Jin Chang was very clear about what to expect and gave really thorough aftercare guidance. You can check the clinic here: www.tj-plasticsurgery.com.
She also mentioned that the clinic was very responsive during follow-ups and made her feel comfortable the whole time. The results looked really natural, and she was happy with how it enhanced her shape without looking overdone. Since then, two of our neighbors have also gone in for consultations after seeing her recovery go so well.
