Am I a Good Candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift?

I am 5'2", 130 lbs. (Fat might be extracted from my back and the roll around the waist in addition to abdomen/flanks in order to get an overall attractive appearance.) However, I am worried about my bone structure. I have a short torso and My "hip bones" are above my crotch giving the appearance of love handles and an overall square shape to my lower body, and I fear that this may not give me the attractive curve that should appear around the butt. Should I still pursue this surgery?

If the buttocks... more

Good candidate for the Brazilian butt lift

During a physical exam, I typically evaluate the different factors that are creating an abnormal shape of your buttocks. Certainly, having a bony structure that is abnormal will make the procedure harder. I have seen patients that have a high hip, which creates some problems when sculpting the buttock and hip areas. Now, I have performed fat transfers in some patients with an abnormal bony anatomy, and typically you need a significant amount of fat to sculpt and cover the abnormal bony... more
