Am I a Good Candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift? Will I Lose Weight/lbs from the Liposuction? (photo)

I'm 5'6" 135lbs & 32-28-38 Normal weight is about 15 lbs lighter, with stress (divorce) I have gained weight recently. Concerned about losing fat transferred and shape after surgery. My booty used to be rounder,interested in the BBL. not for a bigger butt, just a better shaped & lifted butt along with a smaller waistline & getting rid of fat on hips and outer thighs. Ideally would like to be 32-24-34 and 115-118 lbs. Is this realistic? What kind of results can I expect & am I a good candidate?
