How old do you have to be for butt injections?

Question

Hi. I'm 17 and looking into getting butt injections, I'm wanting to have the fat sucked from my tummy and injected into my butt and hips. I don't want too much, just a cute petite booty and thicker thighs . Quats haven't really done much for me! Im just wanting to feel a little more confident in myself . Hoping to have this done for my 18th birthday! Any extra information I should know, please fill me in! Thanks!

In most cases, you should be 18.   I would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You should be at least 18 years old to be a candidate for plastic surgery. 
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l 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 :)

At 18 age is generally not an issue if you are healthy, but you also need to have enough fat to transfer to make a meaningful difference.
