Fat Transfer/Brazilian Butt Lift For my Size?

Hi, I weigh 100lb and am 5'3. I have contemplated for years and tried exercise but decided I definitely want to do this by surgery. Since I am skinny, I am wondering if it would be still possible to get this surgery. What are my options? How much weight would I have to gain? I definitely do not want implants, I've done my research regarding those. Also, any good surgeons in Vancouver, BC area that you could recommend? Thank you!

I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a complete exam before gaining weight. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno

Brazilian Butt Lift for petit size

Thank you for yor question. Without any photos it is difficult to make a recommendation. BBL is not only adding fat to the buttocks, but also subtracting fat and reshaping the anatomical areas around the buttocks. The suggestion that you should gain weight for the procedure, might sound like a good idea, but in the long run will not work. It will make the surgeon's job easier, but after surgery if you get back to your usual weight, your BBL will shrink as well. It is best to stay at your... more
