Alternative to Buttock Implants?

I am really thin (5'7" 108lbs) I have no body fat anywhere on my body. I would like to get buttock fat injections before I've read that its best to use your own body fat that I cannot provide. I am absolutely against buttock implants, is there any other alternative? Is borrowing fat from a donor really unsafe?

A: Alternative to Buttock Implants?

Dear Lena993,

At present, the only safe ways to perform buttock augmentation are to use implants or to transfer your own fat. There are no fillers approved by the FDA for this purpose. In other parts of the world, fillers such as hydrogel, PMMA, and silicone are being used to augment the buttocks. These fillers have been associated with very serious complications, including death, and I would be very wary of using them. Enjoying what you have, or even having an implant, is a much better choice than a risky filler. A safe filler may also be available in the future.

Warmest wishes,

190cc Butt Implants Enough for Small-framed Woman?

I am considering having Butt implants. I am a small framed woman 5'3" at 110 lb. I want my results to be noticeable in my clothing but I was told the largest implant he will go with is 190cc.

Will this leave me with a noticed result through my clothing since, I believe this is the smallest implant?

A: buttock augmentation

You can probably go a bit higher (in th emid 200's), but I do see the concern by your plastic surgeon.  Since he has seen you, he would have a better judgement.

Sure it is.  I place the implants between the layers of the gluteus muscle, not under it, or above it.
