Options for Butt Augmentation?

I am very interested in butt augmentation. I *really* like the idea of the Brazilian butt lift, however, I am 5'9 and 120 lbs and I do not have the extra fat to have liposuctioned from thighs/abs/etc. What are my options for butt augmentation if I don't want to use an actual implant? Can fat be used from a family member? How much fat is needed for the implant? Thanks for any help.

Buttocks Augmentation when you have little to no fat...... What to do????

Don't you just love the "Canned" response! LOL I have to agree with you. With your height and weight, you probably have very little if any extra fat to be removed. Sometimes, when you are that thin, a little bit removed, or a little bit added can be enough to make a reasonable difference, but it will not be dramatic. The smallest I have ever done was about 200 cc of fat per side. The patient was very happy as this gave her some shape which she was lacking, but as you... more

Options for Butt Augmentation

Yes, it's possible to achieve that Jennifer Lopez, sculpted buttock using your own specially prepared fat taken from another part of the body, such as the stomach or hips. Buttock augmentation with your own fat allows you to get a natural, more pleasing shape and contour to the backside by augmenting curves, correcting an imbalance or increasing size and prominence of the buttock. You also get the benefit of reducing another area of your body while you enhance your butt and all without... more

Butt Augmentation Options

Butt enhancement is NOT only about increasing butt volume and walking away. It is much more about - getting a more ideal (IE 0.7 and lower Waist to Hip Ratio) - Obtain definition of the V zone valley along the upper portion of the medial buttock cheeks as they diverge and the upper poles of the buttocks - filling in buttocks depressions (especially along the sides where the leg bone joins the pelvis) - Increasing buttock volume strategically along the dome of each cheek In my... more
