Im assuming from your questions that you have already had buttock implants and now desire a revision? The golden rule (for most any surgery) is to wait at least 6 months for all the swelling to reside and the tissues to soften before performing a revision.

The cost of butt augmentation can vary depending on a few different things on your procedure. The range is from 6,000 to up to 9,500 depending on the exact procedure. My patients often receive a combination of butt implants and fat transfer. The implants are used for projection and overall...
