I get frequent requests for adding fat to the hips. The procedure is essentially the reverse of when you do lipo to the hips, except that I also inject a little bit higher into the area above the hip bone (the supratrochanteric adhesion plane). The recovery period is a little bit more complicated... more
Would Brazilian Butt Lift help fix my hips?
I am a 20 year old female and I’m considering a Brazilian butt lift, but I’m not sure if it will fix my concerns.
My buttocks are fine, perky and full. I wouldn't mind them being a little bigger. I just have no hips and I feel as though it throws my whole silhouette off. (I also feel like I may be asymmetrical)
My measurements are 34-26-34. I would love for my measurements to be 34-24-37. Any suggestions? Would a Brazilian butt lift fix my hipless problem or should I consider another procedure?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your hips and buttocks are both fine. Yes, you may have some asymmetry, but asymmetry is very natural and probably 100% of us have asymmetries in our faces and bodies. You should save your money and don't forget that surgery is not only costly, it carries risks... more
A: You may be happy with Liposuction of the hips alone
By looking at your photo and reading your comments, it seems that your buttocks are full enough and firm enough. The fullness in your hips, though, is giving you more of a square shape in that area and detracting from your curves. By removing the excess fat from the hips with liposuction, your waistline with... more
A: Yes
Hi there- I agree with my colleague- The Brazilian Butt Lift term describes a technique in which fat is liposuctioned from one area of relative excess and transferred to an area where more fulness is desired. In the case of the BBL, this is usually from the abdomen/hips/thighs to the buttock area, but the same... more
A: Brazilian Butt Lift Techniques to Fix Hips
Thanks for the question unsureaboutit - You are correct that the same concept of fat transfer to your buttocks can be used to improve your hip contour. In my San Francisco area practice we routinely analyze and discuss the hips as a part of the Brazilian Buttock Lift. Fat transfer and selected... more
A: Fat grafting is a very popular technique
The brazilian procedure is a fat grafting to the buttock area. If you do this you will have more projection of the buttocks. If your concern is the hip area, I would suggest liposuction and fat grafting to add more volume to this area specificaly. Regarding numbers, no one will be able to help you with exact... more

Seriously, do nothing. You look great as you are. Whenever you have surgery, you risk trading one problem for another. You will definitely get scars. Though small, they are still there forever. Also, results can be slightly assymetrical and slightly lumpy, and these are unfortunately normal results. My best advice is, unless you hate the way you look, just leave yourself alone. You already look pretty close to perfect.
