Enough Fat for the Brazilian Butt Lift? (photo)

I am 5'9" and 150 pounds. I know this sounds small compared to what I see most women successfully getting this procedure weigh. But, I am normally 12 pounds lighter than this when in my best shape. Do I have enough fat to make a big enough difference in the roundness of my butt, similar to the wish pic? (I am pretty flat) Would adding another 3 or 4 pounds help, or is this not even enough? Thank you for your answers!

Enough fat for Brazilian Butt Lift

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, I think you currently probably have enough fat to harvest to give you the fullness you are seeking for your buttocks. I would recommend scheduling a consultation. An exam will allow your plastic surgeon to assess your fat stores and make sure the two of you see eye-to-eye about your results.

Hello, Thank you for the question and photos. It appears that you have enough fat to achieve a very nice result. How much fat can be placed will depend on how much you want, how much fat you have, but also on how relaxed your tissues are to accommodate the volume of fat placed. It looks like you have the beginnings of a very nice result. All the best, Dr Remus Repta

Good candidate for Buttock Augmentation

Looking at your pictures, you seem that you would be able to achieve a similar result to your "wish pic". I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to have a formal examination and to discuss your goals for surgery. You most definitley will see much improvement to your waist line.

Do I have Enough Fat for the Brazilian Butt Lift? Shjould I gain some Weight first?

The quanitification of what "ENOUGH" is has been the base of many human conflicts. While the same quantity(weight, money, possesions, etc) may be sufficient for one person it is commonly not sufficiant or enough for another. In your case, "enough" fat would depend on your starting butt volume, shape and fat distribution and on what your end goal of appearance may be in a woman of your height / size. If you have a realistic butt augmentation goal AND have... more
