Although I do not recommend going to a "cheap doctor" for any surgical procedure, buttock implants is one that I especially would avoid a cheap doctor for. I not infrequently see patients that went the cheap route and got a disasterous result. I am faced with a more challenging and much more expensive revision operation to get them fixed back up. Bottom line, going the cheap route often becomes twice as expensive in the long run.
Dear Staymobbin, I do not know any board certified plastic surgeon who will do the procedure for that price. You have to realize though, that the initial cost is not always the final cost, because if you have to have corrective surgery, the cost can escalate significantly. I have recently operated on a patient , who had butt implant surgery twice before by 2 different surgeons. So far she is very happy with my surgery, however, you can imagine the cumulative cost of these surgeries... Not all butt implants surgery results are same, because there are different techniques and different implants - shape , softness and quality. Additionally, experience, skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good and safe outcome. So , do your due diligence carefully and choose wisely. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Also, check the 'Realself reviews for ratings and positive experience reports. Best of luck, Dr Widder

If you have fat available to use, use the fat for the augmentation. If you do not have fat, you may go with the butt implants.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA
Buttock implants can only be placed under general anesthesia. Local anesthesia is not an option for this kind of body contouring surgery.
Dear Gilzaa, Butt implants flipping or rotation are very rare when the right measures are taken. Besides, fat injection is a waste of time and money, because the fat disappears completely or almost completely after few months or even sooner, as I have witnessed with many patients who came to ...
It depends upon how recent was your surgery. This could be normal if you had buttock implants only a couple weeks ago. The buttock tends to be flat on the bottom until the implant drops down and pushes out as the tissue swelling goes away and the muscle relaxes. Hence, at 4 to 6 months after ...
Buttock implants are usually done under general anesthesia. I have made excellent experience with asking my team of anesthesists to add an epidural which can keep you pain free in the first 24 hours when pain can sometimes be intense. That is surgeon preference so not everybody will do that.
