Can I Get A BBL if I’m really skinny? I weigh about 125lbs, 5’6. (photo)

There is a broad range of physiques that will be appropriate. The thinner patient requires an expert at liposuction to remove as much fat as possible while leaving the skin smooth.  I have liposuctioned models and thin patients such as you with good results, but I would need an exam to make a determination.  Select your board certified plastic surgeon based upon before and after pictures, reviews, and experience.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA.

Thanks for your question.

You seem to be a good candidate for a BBL based on your pictures since liposuction can be performed in many areas of the body for fat transfer. Depending on your desired results, you may be required to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon has extensive experience in with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Great question!  Many skinny patients like yourself undergo the same issue of having only a minimal amount of fat.  The most important factor is setting expectations - since you have very minimal fat, you will see very minimal results.  The ideal patient for a BBL is someone who is a bit on the obese side - this way more fat can be removed thus creating a more significant body contour change, and since there is more fatty tissue, more volume can be achieved to the buttock.With your dimensions, you probably are not a good candidate for a BBL.  Other options include Sculptra injections (which is basically a filler) and/or gluteal implants.  The best way to go over all your options is to present for an in person consultation so that a proper exam can be performed and options provided.- Dr. Roger Tsai  @DrRogerTsaiBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its difficultd evaluted you if the case with this angle of a picture , its recommended get a consultation with a plastic surgeon to evaluate you.

The answer to this question is complex, and depends on how much fat you have to harvest, how much fat you need in the buttock area, and what your goals are.  It is not unusual for some patients to undergo more that one transfer procedure to achieve their goals.  Even with your picture, it is very difficult to make recommendations without an in person examination.  I recommend a consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.  

Thank you for your question. With Brazilian butt lift we transfer fat from one area of the body to the other.  You may not be a good candidate if you’re very slim with little fat to spare. However it's best to get a consultation with a board cetified plastic surgeon. Another option would be buttock implants.

Without in person evaluation it is impossible to say whether you would be a candidate for BBL. If amount of fat is insufficient for meaningful buttock augmentation (400-500 ml per side) your other option is augmentation with buttock implants. That is a controversial procedure due to higher complication rate but may be good option in hands of a surgeon experienced in this type of surgery. In person evaluation is recommended. Good luck. 

Dear sweetcherryblossom,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Thanks so much for reaching out., It does not look like you have enough fat to transfer. However there are other options. You may benefit from injections of sculptura  into your hips and outer quadrant of your buttocks.  Be sure to see a board-certified plastic surgeon and a body specialist for the best plan in treatment.I hope this helps :-)

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, you appear to have minimal reserves for augmentation. You still could benefit from liposuction for the purposes of contouring. However, the fat yield is unlikely to be high enough for a very significant upsize. You may want to consider implants or alternatively a non-invasive such as EMSculpt for augmenting gluteal muscle tone.
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
