I've been skinny all my life. I am 31 a transgender woman I want to have bigger hips and a bigger butt? (Photos)

Question

I want to know how much will it cost and where do I go to get my hips and butt done?

Dhaval M. Patel, MD · Answer

Thank you for your questions and sharing your photos. From what i see in your photos, I do not recommend BBL. You don't seem to have enough fat to add to the buttocks and hips. I think Buttocks Implants would be the best option for you. Sizing can be done in a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon where you can be better evaluated. Best of luck!Dhaval M.

With no available fat, you will need ultrasoft buttock and hip implants to change those contours. Standard buttock implants exist to meet your buttock augmentation needs but custom hip implants would need to be made as there are no such standard implants available for that body area.

Based on the pictures posted, there is hardly any fat for transfer. The only viable option would be buttock implant and hip implant

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You can have buttock augmentation with implants. You do not appear to have enough fat to perform a BBL.

Thank you for your question and photographs.I would recommend that you schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon so they can perform a physical examination of your body and see if you are a good candidate for BBL or not. If you have little body fat, which it appears based on your pictures that you do, you may be a better candidate for buttock implants. I do not recommend patients gaining weight prior to surgery because weight fluctuations before or after the procedure can affect your results. For patients who have little body fat I recommend using buttock implants using the XYZ technique which is intramuscular. This would be the best option for you if you do not have enough body fat to harvest for a Brazilian butt lift and will help you achieve a curvier look. Best of luck in your endeavors!Sincerely,
