Most times, when doing a Brazilian Butt Lift, I end up using every last drop of fat I can get to get the best possible butt augmentation. This is because after the meticulous extracting procedure, only a fraction of the fat is suitable for fat transfer.A few patients, however, store a lot of their fat predominantly in their abdomen and flanks, with very narrow hips proportional to their body.I had always been very good at getting their waist as narrow as I could to highlight the buttock, but the hips remained untouched.
A few months ago, I had a patient like this, with a large abdominal area, small buttocks, and narrow hips. She had asked me about widening the hips, and I told her this was not a well described procedure, but that I would try it if we had any fat left over. I really doubted this would be the case, but lo and behold, when I had finished injecting the buttocks, there was still some fat left over.
Knowing the patient’s desire for larger hips, I injected the remaining fat carefully into the patient’s hip area. I injected into what is called the “trochanteric fat pad”, or “saddlebag” area, which is an area that normally carries fat in women. The results were impressive, because just as narrowing the waist enhances the buttock, widening a narrow hip also enhances the buttock. When the two (narrowing the waist and widening a narrow hip) are done together, the whole body, not just the butt, is transformed. The woman is changed from a “Barrel” like appearance to an “hourglass figure”.
The result is dramatic even from the front view. Imagine a Brazilian Butt lift that makes you look good even from the front view!I am very excited by this new evolution in technique, and it has already elevated my results to a higher level.

If this is your real name, I can’t wait to meet your parents.
My preference would be as soon as the person reaches the age of adult consent. Depending on the state, that can reange from age 18 age 21.

i wanted to know what is the youngest age that can get the brazilian butt lift

Ashley:
Your problem appears to be more complex that you think.
First of all, the real source of the pain may have to be determined. With autoimmune disease and long term steroid use, the source of the pain may be anything from nerve problems to the joints themselves.
Secondly, the steroid usage itself would pose problems for the healing phase of the surgery.
Finally, the issue of Medicaid is pointless to discuss until the real cause of your problem is found out.
You need to be evaluated for this by a team approach and I would suggest going to a University health clinic near you, so you can pull together a group of specialists to look at your condition.
I wish you the best.

I am 24 years. I have an autoimmune disease and we use Prednisone to treat it. Unfortunately the Prednisone made me gain a whole lot of weight. And now I am really top heavy. I also have bone loss from the taking Prednisone for so long. The bone loss makes it very uncomfortable to sleep on either side and when I do I wake up with terrible hip pain.
I was wondering would a surgeon be able to suck the fat out of my stomach and put on my hips? I have been thinking about it for a long time and it seems like it would work. The thing is that I am unemployed and the only insurance I have is Medicaid. I dont think that Medicaid will pay for it unless a doctor could convince them that the surgery would be very helpful to my health. The way I see it is that the surgery will decrease my midsection while will lower my risk for several diseases. And the fat tranfer to my hips would cusion my hip. Do you think what I am saying makes sense or could be done in that way that my insurance will pay?

Contact Kelly at kelly@cosmeticsurg.net, she’d be happy to help you. About 30% of our patients are from out of town.
Hope to hear from you soon!

How much does this procedure cost typically (for hip injections only) ??

About 40% of my clientele is african-american. I myself am latin, so believe me when I tell you, we are into hips. We do it a lot, and I have several patients on whom I have only done injection to the hips.
As for the kangaroo pouch, a mini tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck might help to pull in your waist and create the narrow part of the hourglass.
We’d love to hear from you!
Email Kelly at kelly@cosmeticsurg.net so we can talk.

We are very familiar with what you are asking. As a matter of fact, recently we had a patient who had had a butt lift done by someone else. She told was she was happy with the butt, but not overall happy. After some discussion we figured out what she wanted was more hips.
I have been offering hip augmentation for some time now and yes, we do inject fat into the hips routinely. If you are interested in this procedure, contact Kelly at kelly@cosmeticsurg.net. We’d be thrilled to help you because we love doing this procedure.

Hello,
I have large breasts, a high small waist and very narrow hips. I am fine with my butt but I think it would be enhanced if my hips were more round. Is is possible to take the fat from my potbelly and add it to my hip area. Is that considered one procedure. When could I go back to work?
Thanks!

You can contact Kelly at kelly@cosmeticsurg.net and she can give you pricing information and details on arranging a virtual consultation where I can review your pictures and make recommendations.
We have had patients from St. Louis, you are not alone.

Hi, I’m a small women and I wanted to know could I get hip injection to make me look more curvier. I also wanted to know the price for this procedure, and what is your location, because I live in St. Louis and there aren’t any doctors here that can perform this task. Thanks!

Michelle:
The problem is not necessarily absolute hip dimensions, but waist/hip ratio.
Although you may not have much fat, a small decrease in hip girth (liposuction) combined with a small increment in hip girth (lipoinjection) might make a significant difference in appearance.
If you are interested, we could set up a phone consultation where we could look at your pictures and let you know if we think something could be done. You can contact Kelly at kelly@cosmeticsurg.net.

Hi Doc,
I have always being a slim figured person. I am 5′8- 5′ 9″ tall and I weight only 130lbs. I have wonderful breast 32 DD but no hips. As a result I appear to be topped heavy and not equally proportioned. I dont have much if any fat but I do not want to have implants. Is there anything that can be done to widen my hips without implants?

By the way, I see your internet carrier is libertypr- are you in Puerto Rico? My family is still there.

Hi, Dr. Rodriguez, I’m iI am glad with my butts but I have narrow hips and I’m, interested in fat injection in said area. I’ve had a complex all my life because of this. Can you help me please?

Cindy:
We have been doing hip injections routinely as a part of the Brazilian Butt Lift now for over 2 years. We love the results it gives and it does indeed alter body proportions.
Contact Kelly for pricing information, she’d be happy to help you!
Have a great day.

Finally! Someone’s talking about hip augmentation. I have very narrow hips and would like a more hourglass shape. Help! Nothing fits well and I always feel like a linebacker! Big on top and little on the bottom! Will you give me more information about the procedure and how much it is?
Thank you!
October 2, 2009 at 10:33 am
You sound like a perfect candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift with enhancement to the hips. I do hip enhancement on 90% of my Brazilian Butt Lift patients and I think it set results above what you get when you only augment the butt.
We have lots of patients from out of state, so we are familiar with the issues of travel.
We’d love to hear from you!
October 1, 2009 at 8:51 pm
Dr. Rodriquez, I am 60 yrs of age. I have always been small and presently weigh 140 lbs, standing 5.5” tall. I am African American. My problem is small hips, that really don’t show under clothing, belly fat and love handles. I also have a small amount of over bra hang. I would be very interested in the butt lift and lipo on the love handle areas as well as hip enlargements. Would these things be call a body augmentation if the bra overhang was included. If s, could you please inform me of the cost of the procedure. I presently live in another state but would be willing to travel.
Thank You.
September 7, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Yes you can!
It’s all a matter of fat redistribution. It’s the same principle as a Butt Lift.
Send us pictures!
September 7, 2009 at 8:33 pm
There is always more fat than you think.
Besides, the main thing is the proportions. Your hips just have to be a little curvier. Email Kelly if you want us to evaluate your pictures.
September 6, 2009 at 12:34 am
I have a small narrow waist, big butt and big thighs but narrow hips. Would I still be able to get this procedure even though technically i dont need a butt lift? I really just want wide hips. I dont have much love handles but i do have alot of inner thigh fat that i would like to get rid of.
August 29, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I also have narrow hips and that I made my life miserable. I would like to have my hips larger but I don’t have much fat in my body to inject in my “trochanteric fat pad”. Is there a solution for me?
August 19, 2009 at 12:37 pm
As long as the procedure is performed correctly, the fat grafts should be permanent.
If the person loses weight after surgery, the fat used for the grafts will behave the same way. That is, if the fat used for the graft was from the love handle area, and that was the hardest area to lose weight from, the same will hold after surgery. The hips will now “hold on” to this fat.
The fat cell distribution has been changed surgically, and it will remain so. The patient can gain or lose weight, but it will be in the new distribution pattern.
August 17, 2009 at 4:05 am
How long do results from this procedure last?
When person goes on diet, or exercise, or looses weight after procedure, this new look changes, right?
Then when he get’s fat again, is it now more fat on his but and hips, or does his body store fat now on old place before surgery?
Does this distribution of fat cells have affect on future, I mean does body now store fat on different places or areas on body then it was used before ????
How to control your look after surgery, is there special diet, how to keep fat in place???
August 4, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Yes, I do this now routinely on every single Brazilian Butt Lift I do unless patient objects. I think it really enhances the femenine silhouette.
Ask Kelly, my patient coordinator, about it. She will be able to give you a quote . Her email is kelly@cosmeticsurg.net.
We’re looking forward to meeting you.
August 4, 2009 at 8:34 pm
I’m intrested in the fat injected into hips are u still doing this and how much do u charge for this?
May 21, 2009 at 11:07 am
Thanx for the comments. The important thing to remember is that curves are more natural and appealing than straight lines, so even when you are doing lipo to the saddle bags one has to err on the side of caution. BTW, should it be an “A” shape or an “8″ shape?
May 20, 2009 at 12:18 am
me too. I notice women who reduce their hips (saddle bags) their left with a “H” shape instead of an “A” shaped body.
November 4, 2007 at 11:25 pm
Wow… that sounds amazing! That’s just what I need
