Question

Brazilian butt lift vs. Implants - Which is better?

I am thinking of getting a Brazilian butt lift. I am 19 years old now & I have no hips at all, in fact my hips seem to sink in. I am 33" in the hips. I would love my measurements to be 34-24-37, right now I'm 34-26-33. My butt does not sag, it's perky. I have a lot of cheek but no hips.

How should I go about this? Would implants be better?

No hips, no glory?

Your concerns seem to be more about your hips than your buttocks. The buttocks per say don't contribute to the hip measurement, so I don't know if buttock implants would even be an option to achieve your goal. Fat transfer, i.e. Brazilian butt lift, could be performed with better effect on the hips. Of course, a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would better identify your needs and goals.
