Will buttock implants give me an hourglass figure?

Question

I want to achieve an hourglass figure. Will buttock implants help me achieve this and also give me volume/curves at the side/hips? I know a fat transfer to my hips would be a good option but I don't feel I have enough fat.

Actually buttock implants, especially round shape, combined with "love handle"/waistline liposuction creates a very aesthetic hourglass figure. I perform this combination surgery on ~80% of my buttock augmentation patients with frequent dramatic results. For even more hip curves, semi-solid silicone hip implants can also be done. Glad to help.

The appeal of a
Brazilian Butt Lift is that it has transformed people figure from a square
appearance to more of an hourglass shape.

Butt implants
can enhance the overall shape of the buttock but typically on their own do not
give patients an hourglass figure.  If
women have enough fat I will typically do a Brazilian Butt Lift so that I can shape
their waist and then use the fat to enhance the hips and butt to give the
improved shape.

In women that
are very thin or want more augmentation that I can provide with fat alone I
will do a combination of butt implants and fat transfer.  This will allow me to shape the waist, use
the implant to give the buttock an incredible shape and then use the fat to
enhance the hip area creating the hourglass shape.

I hope this
helps, please consult with your board certified plastic surgeon that has
experience in butt augmentation.

Thank you for your question.  Buttock augmentation with implants will improve the contour and shape of your buttocks.  It will not address your waist in any way.  The implants may be enough to make a difference.  Without photos, it is difficult to advise.  I have seen good results in many of my patients who have buttock augmentation combined with some liposuction of the flanks and lower back.  This often enhanced the result of the implants.Best of luck to you,

Buttock implants will give you major curve to the profile but from the front and back it may not do much. Liposuction with a fat transfer to the hips is something I often do in conjunction with a buttock implant.  This is a full body makeover and creates a very dramatic results.
