Fat injection is best for buttock augmentation
The best and safest way to augment the buttock area is through the use of your own fat (fat transfer also known as a Brazilian buttock lift). This can give a very natural looking result and at the same time can reshape the entire lower back, love handle and hip area. Fat transfer can give a more natural feel also compared to buttock implants.
I do not recommend any other injections, such as silicone, for buttock enhancement. These injections are not FDA approved and are...

Lipoinjection vs Implants for butt augmentation
Depending on whom you ask, complication rates vary tremendously with implants and are often quoted in the 30% range. Coupled with the relative small selection of implant materials available in the US in paticular, implant buttock augmentation is generally not the preferred method of buttock enlargement in the USA. Therefore buttock augmentation via lipoinjection remains a popular option in the USA.

Fat transfer / injection for Butt Augmentation: aka "Brazillian Butt Lift"
A fuller, shapely behind is becoming more and more popular, especially with the celebrity status of fuller behinds such as seen on Kim Kardasian and Jennifer Lopez. The safest procedure to obtain fuller bottoms is fat transfer from areas of excessive fat, which can actually result in the most dramatic improvements as patients get liposuction contouring as well. I would advise you to seek a Board Certfied Plastic Surgery, who has hospital privileges, and who does his / her...

Buttock augmentation via fat transfer
Transferring your own fat to the buttocks is a very popular way to improve the size and shape of your buttocks through injections (and without artificial implants). In addition, there is the added benefit of improved contour to the body due to liposuction of the area the fat is harvested from. Lastly, there are significantly less complications associated with this type of augmentation versus augmentation with implants.

Structural fat grafting is the best option for buttock enhancement
I recommend staying away from buttock implants as their safety profile and long term results are questionable.
I perform structural fat grafting to enhance and augment the buttocks. This procedure is minimally invasive, well-tolerated and has a good long term outcome. The procedure may have to be repeated if additional volume is desired.

Safety is of utmost importance for Brazilian Butt Lift
When it comes to enlarging the buttocks and providing an improvement in shape, there are really only 2 options. These are Fat Grafting (aka The Brazilian Butt Lift) and Butt Implants.
I have performed hundreds of these operations and would have to say that the Brazilian Buttocks Lift is a much Safer and Better procedure than Buttocks Implants. Studies, as well as my own experience, have shown the infection and complication rate for Buttocks implants to be in the 20-30% range. Whereas my...
