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.

for the giirl needing hips,I think that the brazilian butt lift(fat transfer) would be your best option. the fat can be injected anywhere to bond with your bodies fat. this could work in the hips because you are just getting a fat transfer to another place on your body.I am learning a lot about this stuff because I am doing a report in butt augmentation for one of my classes.you should check out sites like plasticsurgery.com or cozmedic.com they will give you valuable advice.
