Brazilian Butt Lift Vs. Butt Implants - Which is Better for Hips?
I am thinking of getting a Brazilian butt lift. I am 19 years old now & I have no hips at all, in fact my hips seem to sink in. I am 33" in the hips. I would love my measurements to be 34-24-37, right now I'm 34-26-33. My butt does not sag, it's perky. I have a lot of cheek but no hips. How should I go about this? Would implants be better?

Caution with Buttock Implants
Buttock implants for buttock enhancement are not optimal for buttock shaping because eventually many people want or need the implants to be removed. This is OK in the breast because they can be replaced or the breast can be lifted.
With the buttocks, the buttock tissue will sag after it has been stretched out from implants and there are no lifts available that can hide scars like the breasts.
Many patients say they feel uncomfortable because of teh firmness and whenever they sit down they...

Brazilian Butt Lift Vs. Butt Implants
Either is a good option provided two things: 1) you have enough fat to harvest from one or more areas then transfer it to your hips - keeping in mind that about 60+% will melt away over the first year or so and 2) your surgeon is very experienced in both techniques, therefore he/she can give you an honest and unbiased opinion about what procedure will work best for you (i.e. predictable and permanent results). For more info I refer you to "buttock implants.com". ...

Body contouring with fat grafting is your answer
Hipless,
Based on your description, a body contouring procedure utilizing liposuction to "harvest" fat from unwanted areas and place it into areas of the body for the purposes of enhancement falls under the category of "fat grafting" This procedure uses a patient's own fat to contour the body and improve aesthetics. In general, this is a far better procedure for body and buttocks contouring than the use of implants. Find a surgeon who is familiar with this technique...

Buttock and hip reshaping through fat transfer -Brazilian Buttock Lift
This is a great question! You are requesting more of a reshaping of your buttocks and hips than simply larger buttocks. Buttock augmentation with implants will not achieve your goals as it will only increase the projection of your buttocks and not address you main concern which is lack of hips. The depression you are describing is frequently seen over the hip joint which lies between the waist line and the outer thigh. To correct this, I would recommend augmentation...

Brazilian Butt Lift
I think you are making the correct decision. Although that is only if you have enough fat to donate to your buttocks. If you do, then the Brazilian is the way to go. Fat can definitely be placed in your hip area. Buttocks implants don't provide much, if any fullness in this area. No one can promise you a specific increase of decrease in your measurements, but the Brazilian is the most likely procedure to get you into that measurement range.
Best of luck to you. And, be sure to find an...

No hips, no glory?
Your concerns seem to be more about your hips than your buttocks. The buttocks per say don't contribute to the hip measurement, so I don't know if buttock implants would even be an option to achieve your goal. Fat transfer, i.e. Brazilian butt lift, could be performed with better effect on the hips. Of course, a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would better identify your needs and goals.

Brazilian buttock lift
You don't sound like buttock augmentation is the problem at all. Your measurements sound like your waist isn't vey helpful to make your hips shapely.
Buttock implants will only make your buttock larger. I dont think that's what you'd benefit from but if you have fatty tissue, you can ask your plastic surgeon to harvest it and then improve the shapeliness in the areas that you're most concerned with.
Consult your board certified plastic surgeon for further details,
Best Wishes....

Brazilian butt lift vs Butt implants- Your own fat is best
We have done over a hundred Brazilian Butt lifts-No re-dos as of yet.
The technique is safe and reliable. If a surgeon is telling you you might have to have a touch up, he's telling you he doesn't think a lot of his fat graft is going to survive. There are definite techniques that work, read about them in the blogpost link below and watch the video

Brazilian Butt Lift as a tool to contour your shape
Thanks for the question.
The term "brazilian butt lift" is just a name for a surgical technique which involves removing fat from one area of your body and replacing it somewhere else.
In our San Francisco area practice we have had good success with transferring this fat to enhance the shape of the buttocks (a traditional Brazilian Butt Lift), the hips or other areas where people wish to have additional volume.
In the hands of an experienced surgeon this can be a powerful tool. ...

Buttock Augmentation with fat or implants
Buttock Augmentation with fat is performed routinely and patients are generally very happy with results.
From your description, you are a candidate for Fat Transfer to the thigh region. Fat Transfer can be performed to any area. For best results, you need a surgeon who is patient to do the steps in a non-traumatic fashion.
Also from your description you do not need a buttock lift. Given your current shape, it will create unnecessary scar even though they heal usually well...

You're a great candidate for Fat Grafting (Brazilian Butt Lift)
Great question. It sounds like you would be a wonderful for liposuction and fat grafting. This is a very popular combination in my practice and is also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift.
With this technique we can focus on your waist, hips and sacral area with liposuction. This will create a nice shape or "frame" to flatter your butt itself (gluteal area). We then process and clean this fat and strategically add it to your gluteal areas. The end result is tight waist, flattering...

Butt augmentation with fat or implants
Both processes can help a woman obtain a fuller buttock. For fat transfer to be a good option, the patient has to have a certain amount of excess fatty tissue. If the person does not, then a butt implant would be the option. You must be careful to make sure your Plastic Surgeon is experienced with both fat transfer an gluteal or buttock implants when you take their advice as most surgeons do not have experience with actual gluteal implants and tend to direct a patient toward what they are...

Brazilian Buttock Enhancement
From your description, you need an increase in the HIPS and Buttocks area.
Fat transfer is probably the best method to achieve that. However you need to have excess fat in other areas to donate for transfer to HIPS and BUTTOCKS. From your present measurement, one need to look at your stomach as a donor area, the flanks the back and thighs.
if you do not have enough fat then you need to consider other methods, like Implants or dermis-fat grafts.

Can Brazilian Butt Lift improve my Hips?
Hi there-
I would always recommend using your own fat for augmentation and/or alteration of the contour of your buttock and hip area prior to considering implants. If you have areas on your body where fatty tissue is in excess, this can be successfully redistributed to improve your buttock/hip profile and proportions. The success of the procedure in achieving your goals will depend on exactly what your goals are, the amount of fat you have available, and the experience of the surgeon...
