I Am 5'8 - 5'9 and 155 Pounds. How Much Fat Can I Have Transfered to my Buttocks/do I Have Enough?

I used to have a perfectly proportional buttocks that was very round and what myself and others would have considered "big" until I lost 10 pounds one year and it was gone. I've tried everything to get it back but nothing. If I had it at one point why does any weight that I gain not go back to that area? And around how much does this procedure cost? Thanks very much in advance.

Candidate for BBL?

Without an examination, It is difficult to say if you have enough fat to be a good candidate for a brazilian buttock augmentation. The procedure involves harvest fat from areas of your body where there is excess fat and injecting that fat carefully into the central zone of your buttock.

How much fat is transferred to the buttock?

Enough fat for a Brazilian

Nicole, At 5'8" and 155 lbs you probably have enough fat to transfer and obtain a very nice result. Of course, it depends on whether the 155 lbs is harvestable fat, i.e. in areas that can be liposuctioned. An examination can usually determine a fairly accurate assessment of how much fat can be transferred to your buttocks. Good luck! see video

Brazilian Butt Lift

It sounds like you are a good candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift. Without seeing you in person, it is difficult to know how much fat we can harvest. However, if you have extra fat around your waist, your thighs, your arms or your abdomen, we should be able to get a nice amount to transfer to your butt and make a nice improvement. Good luck.
