How Much Do Butt Injections Cost?

I'm a 5'4, 140lbs 30 year old AA female w/no kids. I have hips, thighs and small waist but no butt. I really want fat transfer butt augmentation to increase my confidence. What is the price range of this surgery? And what determines the cost to increase? It is location of the surgeon or how much fat that's transfered?

A: Buttock Shaping With Your Own Fat and Flank Liposuction.

Liposuction harvest and then fat transfer to the buttocks works very nicely and you might consider this. It sounds like you have some donor areas.  Also liposuction of the flank zone results in a nicer appearing buttocks indirectly that at times is amazing.   Flank Liposuction with the Vaser may even result in a tiny buttocks lift effect.  Do not let anyone do injection of anything but your fat into your buttocks.  I have seen disasters where foreign substance has been injected into the buttocks....silicone etc etc.   Do not do that.   Fat is usually a nice answer.  Go to and ABPS surgeon and get an answer.   Best of luck.  Dr Commons

I'm 125lb and Want Butt Augmentation. Do I Need to Gain Weight?

I'm interested in having butt augmentation, and I don't have enough fat for the look I'm wanting. I don't want to get implants. I was thinking about gaining a little more weight so I can get the procedure done what do you suggest.

A: Buttocks Enhancement and Weight Gain

Possibly weight gain is needed but usually not.   Areas about the outer and inner thighs, flanks and hips, and abdomen will yield adequate fat in most cases.  Have an evaluation by a plastic surgeon boarded by ABPS..   If you have no fat to harvest then yes gaining weight is a consideration but do you really want to do that.  What is your body fat %.   If low you could also work to raise body fat but again is it really worth it.   I do not like buttocks implants (silicone etc) and I see many many problems in people who have them.  I am sure some are satisfied but it it worth the risk.  Always consider the risk reward ratio.  In cosmetic surgery the reward needs tilted massively in the patients favor.
