sweetcherryblossomOct 18, 2018

 I barely have any fat on my body, the most would be found in my midsection area, but im not sure if its enough for me to get a bbl. I really want a bigger butt and hips! Is there another way for me to do that without a fat transfer ? Is there any way for me to know if i have enough weight for a BBL? Is there a weight requirement ?

About 60% of fat from the transfer is retained and the results are permanent. The size will change with your weight just as the rest of your body does. In other words, the fat acts like it was naturally there. You can get a good idea of the final result after 6 months.
