I’m 20 y.o, 5’2 and weigh exactly 132 pounds. I want to get a bbl. I’m not sure if the body I want is realistic, I know a lot of people go in thinking it will come out exactly how they wanted and don’t. I really want to get the procedure but unsure if what I want is achievable. I want to fill in my hip dips and get a more curvier look also a smaller waist. Me vs my wish pics

Answer: I want to get a BBL. Is my dream body realistic? Thank you for your pictures and questions. Overall, it seems like you would be a good candidate for a BBL procedure. There are always some limitations to body shape and appearance that are anatomical and cannot be changed with fat transfer procedures. However, I think that most of your goals seem reasonable. I would make absolutely sure that the surgeon you see if board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and accept nothing less!Best of luck!Dallas R.

Answer: Q:I want to get a BBL. Is my dream body realistic? (Photo) This is all a question of balance and proportions. Fat can be taken from many different areas of the body including abdomen, sides, back, thighs, arms, underarms, etc. You have to consider not only which areas will have perhaps the best fat, but also you have to consider which donor sites will have the fewest problems afterward with the liposuction. In general, the abdomen and thighs are preferred, but, if those sites are not available, other areas can be used. Creative liposuction with fat transfer to the hips can fill the dents and make hips appear lifted, and rounder. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same.
