Body sculpting and BBL! Do I have enough body fat? (Photos)

Question

I am a small framed Asian girl. I'm 5'2 and 125 pounds. I'm afraid to get BBL due to not having enough body fat, thinking there wont be much of a difference. Do I need to gain weight for this procedure? I have very little muscle tone also. Am I a good candidate? And is the lipo for BBL always a body sculpting procedure also? Or is yh AXA t something different?

Based off your pictures you look like a great candidate.
A  Brazilian butt lift harvest fat from areas  with the fat removed from the areas using your own fat it transfer to the buttocks and into the hips.The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy.
Choose a board certified plastic surgeon who is highly experience in Brazilian Butt Lifts.

Dear Just_me123929292,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.Daniel Barrett, MD

An exam would provide a better way to evaluate you for the procedure. 
I liposuction thin individuals frequently with significant results.  I have performed the procedure on many thin patients and models, but this all depends upon where there is fat (abdomen, waist, thighs, back) and how capable the surgeon is at removing that fat.  The thinner patient requires an expert at liposuction to remove as much fat as possible while leaving the skin smooth.

Thank you for your question and photos. As long as you are not looking for an extremely large result, I believe you are a very good candidate for liposuction of your torso and fat transfer to your butt. I don’t ever recommend gaining weight, unless you plan to stay at your larger size. If you plan to go back to your prior lifestyle, your will lose the additional weight and your fat cells will shrink- including the fat you put into your butt. Please have a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to verify that you are a good candidate for this procedure.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for a liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. You do not need to gain weight.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You improve your abdomen, waist, back and of course your buttock to give you a beautiful heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
  
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire abdomen, back and waist liposuction with BBL, this is because you have located fat that can be done with lipo.
  
Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. Also please try to find a board certified plastic surgeon, remember that your safety, always, is going to be first.
  
Have a great day!

Hi,
Thank you for your question and your pictures, based on your pictures your a good candidate for a BBL. Areas to consider would be your abdomen, back bra rolls and flanks. Removing the fat from the back bra rolls and waist alone can greatly improve your overall shape and enhance your curves. Once your waistline is more defined like an hourglass you will be able to see your buttock shape. Then once the fat is transferred to the buttock you will get more projection. It's hard to see your skin condition and elasticity their might be some skin retraction after the Liposuction on your abdominal area. Its best to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get an examination to assess the areas and outcome. Best of luck.

Kent V. Hasen, MD · Answer

You are correct that you don't have a lot of excess fat, but you are still a candidate for a BBL due to the fact that you have excess fat of the tummy, flanks, love handles and possibly thighs.  From all of those areas, it appears as though enough fat should be able to be harvested.  Additionally by removing the fat around the buttocks, it will enhance the appearance of the butt even without additional fat.  So the next step is to see a board certified plastic surgeon to have a consult to discuss your desires and to see if you are in fact a candidate.
