Exercise or Surgery for butt improvement?

Fat transfer to the butt.... where they will take my stomach, back, and love handle fat and transfer it to the buttocks. I already had an consultation and I know all about it... It is expensive, but I will invest in it. Met some ladies that had the procedure done and everything looks so natural and great. No implants... your own fat. Can't lose.


Thinking... should I invest in this? or is there a way to build a butt by exercising? I have small waist, I have long legs, and I just never had a butt. I mean it's not flat, but it's small... and kind of square. I have no feminine curves. But this fat transfer procedure will definitely shape my frame.

I just never understood how squats could give a butt.... It only give muscular tight butts. Not really make it bigger or change it's portion.

Any insight on how exercise could improve my butt...

    Don't just do squats, but look into other exercises which will build your glutes and add on some meat AND be sure to eat an adequate amount of protein. Having surgery to lose fat somewhere only to gain it somewhere else isn't logical to me...While it may look great now imagine what the scars etc will look like when you get older. and since you say it's fat that gets transferred there - fat can be burned off so when you lose weight you'll lose abit everywhere and if you have a decent amount left to lose you may be disappointed to find your butt will look like it did before you had that expensive surgery for nothing

    I think thats about transferring the fat stores...so if you do gain weight, you would gain it in your butt and not much else where you take the fat stores from.

    I have been doing donkey kicks lately...I mean, my butt is still flat, but I like to think there is improvement.

    Check out Bret Contrera's book 'Strong Curves - A Woman's Guide to Building a Better Butt and Body' (http://www.amazon.com/Strong-Curves-Womans-Building-Better/dp/1936608642). The title says it all. It's a great book with loads of good workout routines.

    why would you want more fat? surely bigger muscle will give you shape, not just more squidgy fat?

    squats and deadlifts changed the shape of my butt...it went from wide and somewhat flat to round and lifted...

    Well, it wouldn't change my life so much.... never said I was unhappy with my life as a whole. However, I just want to feel a little more sexy and confident about my body. "I".... [keyword] "I" want this for my own reasoning.

    I want to point out a couple things separate from the exercise vs. surgery debate.

    You said "should I invest in". It's not an investment. It's a sunk expenditure same as going to the movies or on vacation. You won't see any returns on the money and it sure won't magically transform your life or open up new opportunities to you. If you are not happy with the results, how much money did it cost you? Would you beat yourself up for spending it?

    Another question would be do you really have the money? Because if you are raiding your emergency fund or planning on putting it on a credit card then my answer would be NO. This is elective surgery that isn't even correcting a real problem. So unless you have your 3-6 month emergency fund sitting in savings, your credit cards and other debts like a car paid off, and a nice portion going to retirement funds each paycheck, divesting any part of your income stream to a unnecessary surgery would be a bad decision.

    If your goal is to be confident in your own body and feel more sexy, how is scar tissue and relying on someone else to do all the work going to accomplish either of those? I think you would feel a lot more sexy/confident if you achieved results via exercise.

    Then in the future when your body burns fat again you lose the fat you transferred to your butt and go back to square one ... and to the doc again to transfer more fat from your gut to butt .... rinse ... repeat.

    Worth the risk? Yea. No.
    Also, seems like a waste of money.
    Everyone has different features, it makes you who you are.

    Adding fat to your butt? Won't that look like cellulite?
