Would a BBL be beneficial for an inverted triangle body type? (photo)

Question

My body type is considered an inverted triangle, with my hips being very narrow and my shoulders a bit wider. I currently weigh 140 and stand at 5'5. I carry most of my weight in my mid-section. Would a BBL make a difference for my shape? Do I have enough extra fat for the procedure?

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

The Brazilian Butt Lift would most definitely improve your shape. With liposuction on the abdomen, flanks and back, you should have enough fat to be transferred to the butt and hips to improve shape. The most important thing when deciding to do this procedure
is to find a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in Brazilian butt
lifts. I perform between 6 and 8 BBLs per week and treat all different body
types. It’s best to come in for an in person consultation to discuss the best
options for you. Good luck

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another.  Please visit my page on finding the right doctor at drnichter.com on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a BBL Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon. 
Candidates for Buttock Augmentation surgery desire an enhancement in the buttock area to offer a more balanced, defined or shapelier contour to the body. There appears to be two different groups of patients seeking the procedure. One group of patients is younger and has goals of transforming their bodies into more curvaceous figures, like popular Hollywood stars, J. Lo or Beyonce Knowles. The other group of patients is women that have aged and would like to restore a more youthful backside with buttock fullness to replace now sagging areas. Men have also been requesting buttock implants as well.

I could probably get out 5 liters and
 transfer up to 1200 cc to 1500 cc per buttock, which would make a huge difference in shape.Find
 a  board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of   
Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's   
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can   
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question, You seem like an excellent candidate for the Brazilian butt lift, you have several pockets of fat for us to do liposuction, this fat will be transfered into buttocks and hips for a beautiful hourglass shape.

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice 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 30 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 :)
