Dear Imaginative628400,

based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

In the photo, the edited side shows more lower and outer buttock roundness with a softer transition at the gluteal fold. A BBL can sometimes move the shape in that direction by combining liposuction of the waist/flanks/back with careful fat grafting to the buttock, but it cannot reliably recreate an edited image exactly. The final contour depends on your pelvic shape, existing buttock volume, skin elasticity, donor fat, and how firmly the lower buttock crease is attached.

The gluteal fold is not just a missing-volume area; it is an anatomic crease, so adding too much fat low in the buttock can sometimes make the butt look heavier or less supported rather than simply rounder. A good plan would focus on balanced waist-to-hip contouring and conservative lower-pole shaping, with safety as the priority. For BBL, fat should be placed only in the safe subcutaneous plane, and an in-person exam is needed to judge whether your ideal is realistic for your anatomy.
