Am I a Good Candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift? (photo)

I'm 5'3 and my measurements are currently 34-27-33. I have no hips, i would like to increase my hip size and add some size to my buttocks if possible. However my greatest concern is my hips. I would like to take off about 3 inches from my waist and add it to my hips so that i can be at least a 34-24-37 or more on the hips. I can take fat from my stomach/waist and my back. From the pics you can see that i am on the slim side. I am wondering if i am truly good for this procedure?

Good Candidate

You are a good candidate for autologous fat transfer (Brazilian Buttock Lift). You do have adequate fat storage in the abdomen and flanks to achieve this after sculpting is done in these areas using laser liposuction to tighten the skin. The alternative of gluteal implants is a less attractive option for you as you do have adequate volume.

Candidacy for Brazilian Butt Lift will depend on many things

Hi there- Based on your photos, it looks like a Brazilian Butt Lift would be a reasonable option for you to consider. On the other hand, it is important for you to understand the difference between saying it is an option for you and saying I think it will achieve your goals. The procedure will reliably improve the relative proportions of your waist, your hips, and your buttocks, but you should not expect the volume of the hip area to actually increase in the lateral... more

Brazilian butt lift in thin patients

The Brazilian butt lift can be done in thin patients. Done this procedure several times in patients and gotten very good results. It's not always about how much fat you have to inject. Small amounts that can make a significant change in the shape. And the main reason why the procedure works in thin patients is the liposuction. If you make a narrow waist the buttocks will look better. The liposuction in my opinion is as important as a fat injection or maybe more important than the fat... more

A Good Candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift......?

Looking at your pictures, it appears as though you are a good candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift. Of course you also have to be in good health and have realistic expectations. Just about anyone who is a reasonable candidate for liposuction is also a reasonable candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift. If you have fat to be removed, then you have fat that can be put in your buttocks. In your case, the only concern I have is about your hopes for specific measurements... more

Brazilian Butt Lift Candidate determination

From the photos, which are from a distance, it is hard to tell if you are a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift, but an exam by a well qualified board certified plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss outcome expectations. Most patients don't realize that only about 20-25% of fat removed is suitable for fat transfer. Also, not all of the fat that is transferred not all survives. Realistic expectations are important for best out come and satisfied patients. For some patients,... more

Candidate for butt augmentation

Augmenting the hip during a Brazilian butt lift is very possible. Now, you probably do not have enough fat, not only to sculpt the buttocks, but also the hip and the hip to the buttocks junction. Based on your pictures, I believe you are not a good candidate for this procedure. It seems you do not have enough fat, not only to augment the buttocks, but also the hips. see video
