Brazilian Butt Lift for Petit Asian Using Arm + Back Fat?

Dear experts, I'm 31 yrs, 106 lbs, and 5'2" and built like a boy. –I had liposuction on my upper arms in 2003 and while they are slimmer, they are still large compared to my body. –I have ZERO volume in my butt or hips but don't want to get implants I'm wondering if the BBL would be a good solution for me to redistribute my fat. One surgeon said "there's not enough to work with," another said I'd notice a big difference after he removed a coke can's worth of fat from each arm. WHICH IS TRUE?

Wanting a brazilian buttock lift

I dont think there is enough fat here to get a dramatic result. I usually need aroung 1000 cc. of pure fat for each side to do this. I believe the most that i can harvest safely without creating any other deformity from the lipo is around 250cc. If this is within your level of expectations then you could proceed with the procedure.

Can a BBL be performed on a petite Asian woman using fat from the back and upper arms?

After reviewing your history and photos the only way of knowing whether a BBL would benefit you would be to actually examine you. I know you have received conflicting opinions. It is important to know whether the the plastic surgeons giving their advice have extensive experience with the BBL. It can make a big difference! There are often multiple areas that can be used as fat donor sites. You also already have some projection which is helpful, but again you need to be examined. Good luck! more
