Do I have enough fat for a BBL? I'm 130lbs and 5'3'' (photos)

Dear curlycurls,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

I am not an advocate of gaining weight prior to a BBL. There are a lot of women who can get nice results from the BBL despite thinking that there is not enough fat. I have had great success with BBLs for thinner women. Maximal fat must be harvested without creating any contour deformities. If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced with liposuction to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and facial integrity has remained the same. Schedule a Skype, or email consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in thin patients to determine available fat stores for the transfer.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with 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 33 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 :)

You appear to have adequate fat to remove from your abdomen, sides and lower back and transfer it to the hip did and buttocks (BBL).
I do not like having patients gain wight to increase their fat content as it does not go to the areas that we would like.

To get an ideal BBL you will need liposuction of most of your body.

A lot depends on how much fat is grafted in the hips blending into the thigh.

To do this correctly you could easily graft over 1000 mL per side.

Liposuction of your full torso will probably contribute 1.5 L so fat.

Adding arms would country dude an additional 500 mL.

These numbers could be off by as much as 30-40%. Anticipating how much fat can be harvested on thin patients is challenging and doing so via photographs is especially difficult.

If you’ve had previous Liposuction then the amount of fat available will be much less.

Including inner thighs and knees could easily add an additional 700 mL.

Results from this procedure very substantially among providers. I suggest having multiple in person consultations with providers in your area.

Confirm that the chosen provider has extensive experience with a proven track record for this procedure.

Confirm all after pictures are taken at least three months from the date of surgery.

Best of luck,

Hello,
Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.

Definitely the most appropriate is to start (tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL can also be included), you are a candidate perfect, for the procedure, with this you can eliminate all localized fat and flaccidity, you will get the best results and have a defined appearance according to your body. everything depends on your BMI, if it is within the normal range, above 35 it can generate risks.
It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a good evaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.
