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.
I would need to see more photos to see if you were a good candidate for a BBL. BMI itself can not predict if someone is a good candidate. It really comes down to if you have areas with enough fat we can remove and transfer to get you a result that would satisfy you. I have done this surgery in patient you only weigh 120lbs and have achieved great results.
hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based in your question and the picture your showed the area of the picture showed in lower back can apply for full liposuccion and fat transfer.
An exam would provide a better way to evaluate you for the procedure. This will depend upon your expectations and the ability of your surgeon to remove fat. The thinner patient requires an expert at liposuction to remove as much fat as possible while leaving the skin smooth.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion with those photos. I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
Unfortunately the photos don't show enough to determine how much fat you have available for harvest. The only way to know whether BBL is an option for you is to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to be examined. Best of luck!
Patients interested in BBL often ask questions of the necessary volume for transfer. Ultimately, the answer is two pronged and based upon both patient expectations and the nature of fat graft themselves.BBL and fat transfer is ultimately dependent upon the long term viability of the fat grafted. That being said the resorption rates of fat transferred can be significant. Clinically this translates to a progressive loss of grafted volume in the months following the procedure.I tell patients that they can expect resorption or graft loss on the order of 50% (at most; prepare for the worst and hope for significantly better). Additionally some harvest volume is lost in processing the fat graft prior to transfer. Thus I generally recommend that patients seeking even the most minimal volume increase have adequate reserves for grafting of 500 cc per cheek (at minimum). This means that harvest will usually exceed 1 liter (assuming for processing loss).However, it important to remember that these are recommendations and can be amended based upon a patient's particular expectations. Some patients only want a subtle change and may be willing to accept a less significant result. But the rule still applies you have to have the fat to transfer the fat.With regards to your specific question, the best candidates are healthy and have reached a healthy stable weight (preferably with a BMI < 30). I don't typically encourage weight gain (unless you plan to maintain that weight post op) as the transferred volume can be lost.Ultimately, "enough" is relative to expectations. Those seeking dramatic changes need to have the available donor fat. However, your donor fat do not determine your candidacy for surgery. Your candidacy is defined by your expectations. As long as your goals are in line with what can be realistically achieved, then you can proceed. In reviewing your photos, it is not clear that your donor sites are adequate to achieve a dramatic effect. However, depending upon expectations, this may be adequate.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
Thank you for your question. Despite your low BMI it does appear that you may have some transferable fat from your low back. A full in office evaluation would be required to determine if you would be a candidate for fat transfer. Please seek out consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon with experience in this area. Best of luck
It is difficult to evaluate your candidacy based on these photos. I would recommend a virtual (with more photos/views) or an in person exam to assess how much fat is available. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
HI. It seems to me you have fat deposits in your upper and lower back and in any other place not shown by your pictures.
