I am 5'5, 155lbs and a gym freak. I have hip dips I want to get rid of and a square butt.

Ideal candidates are at a stable weight,  in good health , and have excess fat in some parts of the body and too little in other regions.  Gaining weight before the procedure is to no advantage and when you lose weight again the fat cells will shrink just like the donor site fat cells.  Typically, the transferred fat results in a significant increase in volume of the body site being treated.

Thank you for your question,It is best to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. They will be able to assess you better.Regards,

Gaining weight is often counterproductive. If you gain weight that is fat, some of the fat will likely be associated with the buttocks.  I think it is better to maintain your stable weight.  An in office consultation would be required to determine the amount of fat available for harvesting to the buttocks.The smallest amount I have ever transferred has been about 500 cc per buttock or about 1000 total cc.  My philosophy is to place as much fat as possible without causing fat necrosis or undue pressure.  I always anticipate that only 50% will survive, but frequently more does. 
Find a board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials (experience, education, training, certification) who performs hundreds of BBLs each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results with favorable patient reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Dear Linda99061,liposuction with a fat transfer is a great option to give you more curves and hourglass shape. However, without an examination it is hard to tell whether you have enough fat to get the desired look. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

It sounds like you might be best to have a BBL. You would have to be seen in person to determine what is best for you.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Based on your photos you are a good candidate for a liposuction with bbl, (better photos would help).
The fat transfer, often called Brazilian butt lift has become
extremely popular because it allows your plastic surgeon to transform
your entire shape. You improve your waist, hips and of course your
buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)

Thank you for your photos and questions. It is best to be at a healthy weight that you are able to maintain before doing this surgery. It sounds like you are active in the gym and can easily maintain the weight you are at right now. After reviewing your photos, I can see that you are a great candidate for liposculpture with BBL surgery. This procedure will help smooth and sculpt your abdomen, waist, hips and back with adding volume to the buttocks resulting in a proportionate figure. I believe you would be very happy. Make sure you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be properly evaluated. 

Thanks for your question!I think fat transfer would be ideal for someone with your desires however it is impossible to say without a in-person consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. I think the versatility of the procedure is that takes fat from places you don't want it and puts it into places you do achieving the look you desire. In many cases it can be repeated as well after an adequate healing period.

Hello. Thanks for your question and photos. A BBL will enhance your silhouette when fat is precisely transferred to the buttocks and hips. The waist will also be sculpted. I would not recommend unusual weight gain prior to surgery. A skillful BCPS with experience in fat transfer can selectively remove fat from your problem areas and place the fat where it is needed. Good luck 
Best,
