Brazilian Butt Lift for V-shaped Buttocks and Narrow Hips?

I am 5'4", 26" waist, and 35" hips. I mainly gain weight at midsection/flanks/inner thigh area. I have very pinched in butt cheeks toward the center. I seek contour and uniformity over immense localized volume. I also lack volume on the lower side of my hip areas (I have high placed hips). I would like my butt and hips to have harmony together rather than jagged edges. Do I have enough fat to harvest for Brazilian Butt Lift?

Brazilian butt lift for V shaped buttocks and narrow hips

Thanks for your question and photo. The Brazilian butt lift with fat grafting to the hips seems like a great procedure to address your concerns. You may need to gain a little weight prior to surgery. I would need a photo of your abdomen and/or your weight to better snswer your question.

The Brazilian Butt Lift is Really about Redistributing your tissues...

Hi there- The Brazilian Butt Lift is extremely popular, and very effective in achieving patient's desired buttock shape because it really should best be thought of as a RESHAPING of the buttocks AND the surrounding areas. This is very important, because we don't look at the buttocks in isolation, but rather within the context of the surrounding areas, such as the hips, thighs, and abdomen. Sometimes subtle changes in the buttocks, combined with changes in the context (changes in the shape... more

Brazilian Butt Lift for V-shaped Buttocks and Narrow Hips?

Dear SterlingCoco, Thank you for the photo but in order to truly determine if you have enough fat to harvest for a BBL without leaving a secondary donor defect, one would like to see photos of the abdomen, thighs, and possibly upper back. If you di have enough fatty tissue in these areas, you would be a good candidate for a BBL. You have good skin tone and areas of fullness in the central buttock that do not need more volume. By adding more volume to the... more

Ca Buttock question

Great idea to include the photo, it's quite helpful. Your dimensions as well make this question more fun to answer so that we are talking more specifics rather than generalities. In the photo, I agree that you have a Vshaped muscle but interestingly, I see your frame to be a narrow Ashape. This could provide great prognosis for your result. You seem to carry around a modest amount of fat pockets but I think your medial and lateral thighs in addition to the lumbar... more

Solution to V-shaped buttock is fat injection to saddlebag area

SterlingCoco: You have enough fat. More important is understanding the concept that we take the same fat from the areas that you gain weight and put it in the areas where you want to gain weight. See the video below to see what happens with weight loss and weight shifts- the fat in the butt is preserved! The second thing to understand is that by injecting into the area of the saddlebag we directly address the problem of the V-shaped butt. Read the link below for a fuller... more

BBL

Thank you for including the photo, this certainly helps with the analysis. You appear to be an excellent candidate for a brazilian buttock lift, however I would like to see some additional views (photos) to assess all the areas for fat removal. You have a very nice natural shape and excellent skin tone, two steps already in the right direction. See a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure and whom can demonstrate good results and you should do... more

Brazilian Butt Lift good for V-shaped Buttocks/Narrow Hips if adequate fat transfer available

From your photo you would seem like a good candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL, surgery. You are correct to assume that not all fat transferred survives but up to 60% does and it looks like you have adequate amount in your lower back and hips to make this procedure successful. An exam of course would give more information.

Brazilan Butt Lift to Cure a V Shape and Narrow Hips

You are a great candidate. This procedure is very effective for your buttock type. Here is a list of things that can be changed. Depending on how much fat you have or can further accumulate in other areas, your results will be dramatic.

Here are some things I would work on. --Shift the volume to your central and lateral buttock... more

Brazilian Butt Lift...

The focus for a brazilian butt lift is body sculpting. Looking at your picture, it shows that this procedure would work for your body type. It looks as though you do have enough fat to harvest for this procedure. Once you sculpt around the buttock area you will see a wonderful result to start. I would recommend to see a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined in person. Best of luck!
