Tighten, Contour & Lift
As we age, maintaining a toned lower back and abdomen can seem nearly impossible. When diet and exercise alone won’t yield results, consider a hip lift at The Piazza Center in Austin, TX. Board-certified surgeon Dr. Rocco Piazza removes excess skin and fat from the hips and upper thighs, then lifts and tightens the remaining tissue — contouring the lower torso into a sleek, attractive silhouette that can create thigh gaps and correct “hip dips.”

Results
Your Hip Lift Results
Most hip lift patients are thrilled with their new, sculpted silhouette. As swelling and bruising subside over the following weeks, the hips, outer thighs, and lower back reveal a tighter, more youthful contour — often correcting hip dips and creating a slimmer thigh line.
Results are long-lasting with a stable weight, though aging and future weight changes can affect outcomes over time. Dr. Piazza places a strong emphasis on aftercare, checking in with patients regularly well beyond a typical follow-up window to help confirm lasting success.
Long-term satisfaction is our priority — I continue to follow up with my body contouring patients for years to ensure lasting, predictable outcomes.
