Would a BBL even me out and make me look natural and proportionate? (Photos)

Question

I spent the majority of my life maintaining 115 pounds. Even when I was skinny I was very disproportionate, which was discouraging, and around two years ago I kind of gave up and gained 30 pounds. I now weigh 145 and finally have time and money for a BBL but I'm worried I'm too fat now / too disproportionate with my scrawny legs and won't ever be proportionate. Please look at my pics and tell me if you think the BBL can even me out and make me finally look natural and proportionate. Thank you!!

Thanks for the question. 
In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.
Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).
Kind regards

Go for it!!!! You look fabulous and just need to redistribute your fat into the areas you're looking to increase (buttocks:) I often see patient trend lower in weight after their BBL.  Since your legs are thin, don't try to build the largest buttocks you can; instead go you reasonable size.  Best Wishes!!!!

Hello and thank you for your question and sharing your photos. Based on these photos, you would be an excellent candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which typically includes a 360 liposuction of the abdomen, flanks and back and fat transfer for gluteal augmentation. Liposuction of the flanks will narrow down the waist for an hourglass appearance and adding volume to buttocks in combination with liposuction of the lower back is intended at creating a natural curvy look. With the use of VASER liposuction and proper surgical technique, excellent high definition liposuction can be performed. And with proper technique, there will be more than 90% survival of the transferred fat. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best,

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a good 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, hips, 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 :)

The combination of liposuction of your waist (love handles) and abdomen combined with autologous fat transfer to your butt (BBL) would both narrow your waist and give you some projection and shape to your butt which would give you the proportions and shape you are wanting.

Thank you for your question and photos. Based on these photos, you are a great candidate for VASER Hi Def Lipo 360 degrees (abdomen, anterior and lateral chest wall, full back, lower back fat pad, waist and hips) with fat transfer to the buttocks for shaping and enhancement. Would also contour the arms to match the sculpted body.This will give you a natural hourglass figure. In my body sculpting practice, I use "stealth" incisions, so there's no sign that you had surgery. These surgeries, I do in our office accredited surgery suite under intravenous sedation only.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your question. It seems that you can benefit from a BBL,  fat can be taken from many different areas (abdomen, sides, back, bra rolls, thighs, arms, etc) depending upon the areas of excess and what your goals may be. Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. The goal is to transfer fat from areas where you find it displeasing to areas in which you would like more volume. I recommend you to schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified  surgeon for proper evaluation.

Dear Bee2Dee,
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.

I think you are an excellent candidate for BBL to reduce the flanks and enhance the hip.
This is what I usually call “volume switch” afte BBL and would apply very well to you.
I would definitely not perform liposuction alone (UAL or PAL or both) because your buttock is already empty on the putter quadrants and Lipo alone will make you even more square: for a more feminine look, I would strongly suggest to fill the hips with the aspirated fat.
I hope you will find this useful and I wish you the best of luck with your surgery.
