This is a very good question because, although not anatomically the same area, the "hip" and "lateral (outer) buttock" terms are frequently used interchangeably. Technically the lateral buttock region is the outer/side and frequently indented/depressed area of the buttock. Whereas, the hip region is technically lower down on to the thigh at about the level of the lower buttock fold/crease. It is where there is a bony prominence called the greater trochanter (of the large femur bone). Glad to help...
I really let the patient decide on how the fat should be distributed. I typically transfer at least 1200 cc per buttock and 300 cc per hip in most patients, but this can be adjusted to the patient.

Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials 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, MD Los Angeles, CA

It can cause bleeding which is unwanted. Clear all your medications with your surgeon prior to surgery.
Dear Janice, You will hear different opinions in regard to butt augmentation with fat injection. Use your common sense. How can such a large amount of fat survive without circulation. Indeed, in the last year , I have done butt implants surgery on over 30 patients who had fat injected to the...
