So are hip implants safe? I'v been searching for the answer to my narrow hips for years and I'm not convinced I have enough fat for transfer. I found a doctor...FINALLY...who's performing this new surgery of solid silicone hip implants to the hips but the only problem is there's NO information out there on it.
