Can I Get Hip and Buttock Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley,  I am a 32 year old MTF trans woman. I am 5’7” 135 lbs and would like hip and butt implants. I have always been on the smaller side before transitioning.. I was able to gain some weight during Covid but obviously it did not stick once i returned to my daily cardio routine. I have been small and fit my entire life. For these reasons I have decided to pursue hip and butt implants.

Ideally I am looking to accentuate my shape into more of an hour glass with high hip implants. I’m looking for some outward projection at the top of the hip that tapers off into the natural angle of the hip.

With the butt implants I want a fuller bum but based on my actual dimensions because I want to be as proportionate as possible. I know I can enhance my look in the future with fat transfer should I desire any changes.

This is probably the final piece to my transition puzzle.

A: Given your body now and what your ideal buttock and hip augmentation pictures look like this is not an achievable goal in any safe and low complication risk surgery. Your tight tissues are simply not going to tolerate that much tissue expansion. The reality is you would not get even half that amount of hip and buttock change.
