Can Relatively Thin Patients Get a Brazilian Butt Lift?

By your photo which has limited detail due to being clothed, you may be a reasonable candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift, but an exam by a well qualified board certified plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss outcome expectations. As long as your weight is stable, which I would define as plus or minus five pounds from your current weight over the past few years, you would be a reasonable candidate for a Brazilian Butt lift fat transfer procedure Most patients don't realize that only... more

Am I a Brazilain Butt Lift Candidate?

Great question, but very difficult to tell from your picture alone. I will tell you that just about anyone is a candidate for a BBL, if you do not have enough fat I advise patients to gain 10-15 lbs for surgery. Most patients will maintain this excess "fat" after surgery as it has no been removed from unwanted areas and placed in the "wanted" area, the rear, and will continue to survive. As sculpting of the buttocks is also and essential part of the procedure, most... more

You do not have enough excess fat to give you great results

Just about anyone can have the BBL as long as you have extra fat that you want to have removed. If you are a candidate for liposuction, you are a candidate for the BBL. You can either throw away the fat which is removed, or you can transfer it to your buttocks. In my opinion what makes someone a good candidate is having realistic... more

BBL candidate

Truthfully, it's not quite possible to tell if you are a great candidate or not because of the clothing. Your BMI suggests that you are a good candidate, as do your photos but you'd need to come in for a real consultation. Best wishes

Brazilian Butt Lift

Brazilian Butt Lift is body contouring of the body and the buttocks. According to the picture posted you have some fat above the edge of your trousers, and waist.Bu taking that fat out you will round your buttocks, then see if there are other sources of fat and transfer the harveted fat to the buttocks. Thus you will get the hour glass appearance and the increase in the buttock size and shape.
