Thin patients may be better suited for buttock implants

If you are very thin, a fat transfer (Brazilian buttock lift) may not be a good option for you. You can attempt to gain weight prior to surgery in order to have enough donor fat to transfer. The other option is a silicone gluteal implant. These implants can sometimes become infected or shift position, so you should have this done by an experienced plastic surgeon. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see which option is best for you. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno more

Brazilian butt lift in the thin inpatient

The Brazilian butt lift can be done in patients. This procedure is a liposuction and fat injection. What you're doing is changing storage areas of fat.

Want a Brazilian Butt lift but are too thin?

A brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses your body's own fat to increase the size and shape of your buttock. This requires that you have enough fat to "donate". Sometimes people are just too thin. I have had several patients that wanted a BBL but were very thin. It is possible to find fat in even the thinnest of places. This is usally inthe lower back and flanks and I have performed many BBL on women as thin as 100 pounds. Some people think that they will need to gain... more

Alternatives to Brazilian Butt Lift

It is likely that your only option is a buttock implant. This is a great option for patients who do not have enough fat for a traditional approach. The implants are semi-solid silicone and are inserted through a small incision in-between the buttocks. See a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure as it is not that commonly performed. Best of luck, Vincent Marin, MD San Diego Plastic Surgeon

Buttock Augmentation Options

Currently the only two safe and effective methods for Buttock Augmentation are Autologous Fat Trasfer (transfer of your own fat to the buttocks) and Buttock Implants (semi-solid soft silicone rubber implants). Both are very good options so what it comes down to, like any surgery, is proper patient selection. Indeed because at least 50+ % of the fat transferred will melt away within a year, most patients are not good candidates because they lack an adequate amount of fat to... more

Thin BBL

When patients think they don't have enough for a BBL, they almost always are right. A gluteal implant is the best solution but it's fraught with many complications. Be thorough and research well the surgeon who tells you this is a good operation and can be done without trouble. Most of us don't do it because it has a bad reputation for complications. Gaining weight is an option for a BBL sometimes. Just a thought, Best Wishes, more
