Buttock Implants vs Fat Transfer
The bottom line is, for someone as lean as you are, you do not have enough fat to transfer to the buttocks. By the time a year has passed and 60+% of the fat has melted away you will have gained next to nothing. This is actually the case for most patients seeking buttock augmentation. Nonetheless, buttock implants when done by a very experienced plastic surgeon can create a beautiful predictable and long lasting, even permanent, result. The key is to find a...

Buttock implant surgery vs. a brazillian butt lift...
Buttock implant surgery versus a Brazilian butt lift using fat transfer has some pros and some cons. First a buttock implant surgery is a permanent procedure, but does have some possible risks such as fluid collection around the implant, or movement of the implant. This procedure should only be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon who has had extensive training and knowledge of this surgery. A Brazilian butt lift on the other hand is a more common...

Butt implant vs fat grafting
If properly performed structural fat grafting to buttocks (so called Brazilian butt lift) can provide long lasting enlargement of buttocks. Unfortunately in your situation you probably do not have enough fat for meaningful buttock augmentation. Statistically butt enlargement with fat graft is safer than butt implants. Nevertheless properly performed butt implant augmentation is a safe surgery, and it might be the way to go in your instance.

Longevity of butt implants vs. Brazilian Butt Lift
Patients today have many different options in butt augmentation and contouring. Brazilian butt lift surgery consists of liposuction to the abdomen and trunks and then cleaning & processing this fat and transplanting it into the buttock region.
Butt implants may be a good option for patients who do not have sufficient fat for a successful Brazilian Butt Lift.
If the surgeries are done properly, the results, whether your own fat or implants, should be permanent. If fat is...

Buttock implants versus Brazilian Butt Lift (fat transfer)
Hi there-
In my opinion, all other things being equal, augmentation of the buttocks using the patient's fat is far superior to implants.
As long as technique is meticulous and the surgeon experienced, fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lifting) provides a long term augmentation, with the look and feel of natural buttocks, without the concerns and risks of implants.
It is very important that you find a surgeon very experienced in this technique.

Butt implants
The reason they are done rarely here is because of the malpractice problems in the USA. In south america no one sues the doctor even if they have problems.

Buttock implants versus fat injections for gluteal augmentation
This is a newer area of plastic surgery and in my opinion the jury is still out on what is the best approach. In my opinion, the implants currently available in the United States are not as good as what is available in other parts of the world (Brazil). At this time I prefer fat injections which I think feel more natural and have fewer problems than implants.

Fat transfer to the buttocks is superior
Fat transfer to the buttock is superior. Once it takes it is permanent. You probably will not lose it easily.
Buttock implants are good alternative but like breast implants they require maintanance.

Absoultely not
Your concerns are very reasonable. I have performed many Buttocks Implants and Fat Grafting procedures. There is no question in my mind, from over 12 years experience with both of these procedures, that the Fat Grafting procedure is a MUCH safer and far superior procedure to Butt implants in every possible way.
The only patients I would consider Butt implants on are those who have absolutely no fat to transfer. Many patients of mine have opted to gain some weight so that they can have...

Butt implants vs. fat transfer
Butt implants are more common in Central and South America, probably because they have more access to implants designed for that purpose. I don't like to bash procedures that I don't do, but I have occasionally treated butt implant complications from other surgeons. The procedure has a high rate of complications, some minor, others not so minor. Even if everything goes well, the look is sometimes a little strange. Like breast implants, you shouldn't consider them permanent. Someday...
