Does the Pelvic Plasty Procedure Stabilize the Hips?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Can the Pelvic Plasty procedure give stability to a females hips? I want to know if it will alter my balance.

A: The Pelvic Plasty procedure is an aesthetic augmentation procedure of the hip bone (iliac crest) and the subiliac soft tissue hollow. It is not intended to be a functional procedure (stabilize the hips) but it also does not compromise hip bone stability either.
