I have a small frame and not a lot of fat. I'm wondering if Butt augmentation is worth it, because I want a very noticeable, and big change in my butt. How much fat will I need?

Buttock Augmentation Options

Fillers for buttock augmentation pose two potential major problems: 1) cost prohibitive - if the surgeon is using an authentic medical grade filler than the cost for any significant result will be $150,000.00+ and 2) high rate of complications - such as infection, movement/migration of the material, and/or hardening of the material. Best to stick with either of two tried and true methods: 1) Fat Transfer, unfortunately only about 1 out of every 50 patients that I see have... more

How Much Fat is Needed for a Brazilian Butt Lift

The volume of fat needed would depend on your size and your desired goal as tempered by the amount of fat you have to "donate". Use a a quart of juice or milk as a common visual yard stick.

Where in your body do you have such fat volumes for a surgeon to Liposuction and transfer? A Brazilian Butt Lift is much easier in smaller to... more

Buttock Augmentation

From your photo, you look pretty small and thin with not a whole lot of fat on your body. For a significant change, a large amount of fat is needed to harvest and inject into the buttocks. Not all of the fat that is placed will survive the transfer as well. You don't look like you have enough and if you are looking for a big change, I think you will be disappointed. I don't think that the procedure will be worth it for you. Hope this information is helpful.

Brazilian Butt Lift

As called gluteal augmentation with fat transfer requires a large amount of liposuction to remove the unwanted fat deposits and then inject the fat into the gluteal area. Not all the fat that is aspirated is used for the augmentation. Therefore, usually large amount of liposuction is needed. Judging by your photos, I would not offer your this procedure because I do not think you would have enough fat to make a difference. Good luck.
