Can I get a Brazilian Butt Lift if i'm skinny? I'm 5'2 and 100 - 110 lbs.

I have liposuctioned models and thinner patients with good results, but I would need pictures or an exam to make a determination.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts and
liposuction procedures each year. Look for great reviews and great
before
and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.

It is difficult to evaluate your candidacy for this procedure with no photos, but according to your measurements you may be too thin for this type of surgery.

If  you are really skinny and have no fat deposits that can be harvested, then you may be a better candidate for buttock implants.

Thank
you for your question .

I will
tell you with 25 years experience that implants will not give you a natural
look and are up to 60% rejected from the body. Your own fat will be not
rejected and give you that natural look and you will not loose the fat after
your 6 months procedure.


Choose a
board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts
and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This
says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry
risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.

I have been pleasantly surprised by a number of women who do not carry much fat on them but who do obtain a lovely result from fat transfer to the buttocks. It is essential to perform a thorough exam to determine just how much fat is available. Frequently more areas need to be liposuctioned to obtain enough fat but each person is unique. Slender patient typically don't need as much fat transferred to get a good result as a more full figured woman. A surgeon experienced in this procedure should have no trouble telling you what you might expect and how likely you are to be satisfied with your results. Best of Luck    Dr Harrell

Present techniques of fat grafting generally factor in a 50% loss of the grafted fat. Consequently, more fat is needed initially to have enough left to sustain this loss and still have a worthwhile result. From your measurements I fear you have inadequate donor fat to get the job done. Unless you gain a substantial amount of weight prior to the procedure you will be a poor candidate for this approach to buttock augmentation.
