Is it possible to get a lift of the bum with a BBL but not go too large? Is Lipo at the base of my butt an option? (photo)

Question

I am thin on my upper body and would like my lower body to match and be more proportionate. I'm looking for a smoother silhouette of my hips and thighs. I also would like my bum to be lifted but not much larger, perhaps with a little more projection but really on the conservative side. What procedures would be an option to reach my desired outcome? I am 5'6 and 123 lbs.

You will need careful redistribution of fat to produce the smooth result that will be pleasing.  I
 would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is 
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of 
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as 
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.

You appear to have fat available in your hips and lower back, which could then be transferred to your buttocks.  This sculpting of the body through liposuction and fat grafting can result in a dramatic enhancement of feminine curves.  The little roll beneath the butt can be corrected with liposuction as well.  The amount of fat transferred from love handles or flanks depends on the quantity available and the extent of buttock augmentation each patient desires.  Sufficient body fat for a buttock augmentation is very patient-specific, depending on an individual’s body shape and proportions as well as their expectations.

When planning a Brazilian butt lift, patients can look forward to a double benefit: reducing areas of unwanted fat while gaining a perkier, rounded posterior. Each procedure must be planned according to the individual needs of patients, harvesting fat from target areas of the torso, thighs or knees and transferring it to create smooth, attractive contours optimized for each person.Buttock augmentation with fat grafting is one of our most popular procedures in Colombia, and from experience we can tell you that some patients do very well with 300 cc of fat per side while others can need 600 cc or more.
That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.I hope this was helpful.  Please let me me know if you have any other questions regarding the procedure. Thank you and best of luck.  Dr. Campbell

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with modest 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, 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 :)
