What size implant should I get? What is the average cost? What is the shot that cut down pain? (photo)

Question

The three photos in a thong is my butt from three different views. The other two photos are my ideal of how I want my butt to look with the implants. My desired look. I want a natural look and I want implants because I know I don't have enough fat for the injections. What are the BEST certified surgeons in the Atlanta or Florida/miami area?

Allow me to share with you some information that you may not hear
elsewhere. There are only two proven safe and relatively effective methods for
Buttock Augmentation and Hip Augmentation: 1) Autologous Fat Transfer (using
your own fat, transferring from one area of the body to the other) and 2)
Buttock/Hip Implants (semi-solid silicone rubber implants that cannot rupture
&/or leak). Both are very good options so what it comes down to, like any
surgery, is proper patient selection. Indeed because at least 50+ % of the fat
transferred will melt away within a year, most patients are not good candidates
because they lack an adequate amount of fat to harvest.  subsequent disastrous amount of scar
tissue/hardening.

Thus buttock/hip implants become a very good, safe, and long term reliable
option for most patients seeking buttock augmentation (at least in my
practice). I prefer to insert the buttock implants through a single 2 ½ inch
long incision over the tailbone (concealed within the crevice between the
buttock cheeks) and the hip implants through a ~ 1 inch incision just below the
beltline above the hip region. The buttock implant should always be placed
under or within the gluteus maximus muscle. Because of this, the size of the implant should be determined relative to the anatomic dimensions (height and width) of the gluteus muscles.  In this position, the implant is
less palpable, less visible, and does not sag or shift/migrate over time unlike
implants placed on top of the muscle. Therefore it is extremely important to
seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in
this procedure.  Prices vary from surgeon to surgeon based upon the surgeon's experience and reputation as well as local competition.  I typically charge a total price of $8500.  Glad to help.

Implant size will have to be assessed by taking measurements and determining your goals after an exam.  I will say that the BBL results are stable over the years and has far fewer complications than buttock implants.Find
 a  board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of   
Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's   
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can   
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Dear batgurl,   Thanks for submitting your pictures and your goal pictures. Congratulations on your smart decision to go with butt implants. Not because you do not have enough fat but because the fat does not stay beyond 6 - 12 months. The 2 goal pictures look different and the 2nd one appears much bigger. Your butt is not completely flat, so you do not need to go with  huge implants. A 565 cc implants , which are the most popular in my practice, should give you a significant size increase . With the sub fascial technique, where the upper edge of  oval round implants is placed just under the posterior iliac spine , your butt will look natural and very attractive. Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons who performed hundreds of butt implants surgery and are familiar with the sub fascial technique and use the oval round implants.              Best of luck,                                      Dr Widder
