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?

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... more

A: Depends

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

You need to have fat to act as a donor site for the Brazilian Butt lift. Do you have sufficient fat for this? IF NOT, then consider implants. However, implants will only make your buttock more "perky and prominent," which does not seem to be the problem.

A: No hips, no glory?

Kenneth R. Francis, MD

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... more

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.
