Would you suggest a fat transfer or buttock implants?

Question

I'm 18 years old, 5'4, & 115 pounds. I have a very thin frame with no butt and have always wanted a more curvy look. Other than my breasts (32D) I have basically no other fat on my body besides little on my stomach. Although, I'm not sure if buttock implants will look extremely un-natural on my body type. What do you think?...please help! Thanks.

I appreciate your question.Most likely you do not have enough (or any :) fat for transfer. Your best bet would be a gluteal implant placed through the gluteal cleft. It would be best to discuss this in person to understand the risks and benefits of each of the proceduresThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Thanks for sharing your question and
photos. I can appreciate your concern.
Fat grafting is better for patients with well-defined
aesthetic units to the buttock and some excess fat to other parts of the body.
You are in good shape and your limiting factor is the lack of fat 
In theory silicone implants would be indicated on patients
that do not have enough fat. The disadvantage is that butt implants are
technically very difficult to place and have many complications attached to
them.
The solution. Gain some weight. Your own tissue is better
than silicone, when talking about the buttock.
Finally, make sure that you have a
consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes on these
procedures.

Wishing you the best in your journey

Hello Tank you for your photos, since your complexion is slim, most likely we are not able to get significat volume of fat . You are a axcelent candidate for a but implant, it will be permanet and the size will be determine by the size of your hips!I ask my patients to send photos of the ideal but you are lloking for, but you have to look for a similar body frame patient!It is a simple 1 hour procedure and 2 week recovery!
