Long-Term Complications and Risks of Silicone Butt Implants?

April 26, 2011
Asked By:zoe bunny in Long Beach, CA

I am 5'2" 110 lbs. (small frame) and my doctor suggests fat transfer over silicone implants. He is afraid of scarring, thinning of butt tissue over time, hard feeling, infection, shape will look funny, etc. However, I want a big difference and he said he will only be able to get about 200cc for each side from my love handles and none from my abdomen. I am leaning towards silicone but my doctor seems so against it. I am having a very hard time deciding which is better for me.
