How can I achieve bigger hips? Sculptra hip injections, butt implants, hip augmentation, or fat transfer? (photos)

Question

Hi I'm 18, 5'1, and about 125 pounds. I've been researching what I can do to enhance my body, no one in my family has big hips, and I've always wanted them, my hip dips aren't extreme but I want something to give me a hourglass shape instead of the box I have now. I'm okay with my butt and breast but I'm totally unhappy with my waist and hips. My stomach is flat kind of but it doesn't come in to make any curves

Hmmmm.... this is a bit hard to tell.  If you have some fat, then definitely use it as a miniBBL and use what you have while you cinch in your waist area.  If you don't have enough fat, Sculptra is a good backup plan however it takes a series of injections to get volume.  Finally buttock implants are, what I consider, a final option.  My advice is to always stay conservative with implants.  The best place to start is with a proper inperson consultation with board certified plastic surgeon experienced with buttock enhancement.  Best Wishes!!

Dear cazmonet,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. I you have extra fat, then fat transfer might be an option. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Just like the most reliable and permanent way to augment the breasts is with implants, the most reliable and permanent way to augment the hip area is also with implants. Unfortunately fat grafting to the hip area is frequently met with very poor success because the fat simply does not survive well. Another thing is, if you are asked to purposely gain weight (i.e. fat) for the procedure, the fat you lose first as you get back to your baseline weight after surgery is that very same fat that was transferred into your buttock/hip...so don't fall victim to this recommendation.  Finally, do not waste your money on the minuscule results of temporary fillers (eg Sculptra or hyaluronic acids) or the disastrous consequences of permanent fillers such as PMMA or silicone.  Glad to be of help.

I perfom buttock implants along with hip implants in a combination procedure. the results are dramatic and widely successful. You would be a good candidate for this approach. Please be sure to choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in this procedure and is well known for it.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You have a beautiful figure as it is and my opinion is that plastic surgery isn't worth it.
lf you still want a detailed consultation, I recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
