Butt lifts are real

Your question is an interesting one.  The feel and look of a butt lift is somewhat dependent on the technique used to perform the procedure.  Also, the question that I would ask you is, are you referring to how it feels to you as the patient or to an intimate that may be "feeling" your buttocks.  Certainly the use of your own tissues (i.e. fat) probably offers a more realistic feel to the buttocks than buttock implants, as far as your intimate is concerned.  Implants may cause a more firm "feel".  As far as the patient is concerned, even using the implant technique, the acceptance of the implants into the body self image usually results in them feeling "real" to the individual receiving them.  Both techniques do offer a very real and natural look.
