Extra large bottom implants for larger look? (photo)

You can get an estimate for the relative size you would like by trying on sizers in the office.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Dear Susanpeters, There are 4 methods to increase your bottom size : excersize, synthetic injections, fat injections and silicone implants. The 1st is very difficult to do and maintaine and the enlargement is modest. The 2nd is associated with many comlications and even fatalaties that were published in the media. The 3rd sounds great but the sad reality is that it does not stay beyond 6 - 12 months as I have learned from many patients who came to my surgery center for butt implants after having fat injection by other surgeons. Think about it, if fat injection would have been so reliable, breast implants would have been out of the market... Your best option is the 4th - soft , semi solid silicone implants. The implants can be made to your size and shape desire. Consult with board certified plastic surgeons who do lots of butt implants surgery. Check the before and after to make sure that you like the results since there are different techniques and implants shapes. Best of luck, Dr Widder

There are many shapes and sizes of buttock implants. Also buttock implants can be custom made. However you need to know that the bigger the implant the more frequent the complications and the need for further surgery.Samir Shureih MD.FACSsshureih@msn.com
