Alternatives worth considering
Sculptra BBL
Series of injections that stimulate collagen for gradual butt fullness. No surgery, but multiple sessions and gradual results.
Butt implants

Skinny BBL
Slim-patient version that prioritizes waist contouring with minimal fat transfer. Different aesthetic goal.
