I am looking to round out my hips to create a more hourglass shape. Not a BBL, just hips. I am looking for quite an extreme look. Do I have enough fat for this judging by pictures? Thanks in advance.
Answer: Do I have enough fat for a BBL? Yes, you have sufficient fat for a BBL. In my experience a lot of people will over estimate the amount of fat needed for a BBL and they will gain weight for their BBL. But most of the time the weight goes to the viscera--they put on internal or visceral fat--fat we cannot remove with liposuction and they end up having to lose weight after surgery. There is a link to a video called a skinny BBL which discusses BBLs in patients who are thin.

Answer: Enough fat for fat transfer to hips Hi, In order to give the desired shape to your body, excess fat in the waist and abdomen can be removed by liposuction and then transferred to the desired area in the desired amount. You are suitable for this as far as I can see from the photos.

Answer: Fat transfer for hip augmentation? Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photos. However, please keep in mind that an in-person consultation with physical exam, or at least a virtual consultation, is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations are made. In general, cosmetic hip implants are the most reliable, predictable, and permanent option for filling in the hip dips and creating more of that feminine hourglass figure, whether slim or not. On the other hand, fat transfer to the hip area tends to survive quite poorly in most patients and thus produces only short term results (often less than 10-12 months). Injections/fillers such as Sculptra ir hyaluronic acids are cost prohibitive (i.e. guaranteed to be the biggest waste of money of your entire lifetime), short lasting and possibly deadly with high volume injections. Others such as silicone/PMMA/hydrogels/etc are cheap but extremely dangerous and a personal commitment to a life of serious and sometimes deadly consequences. Typically hip implants are best custom designed and created for each individual patient’s anatomy. Because an extremely few number of board-certified plastic surgeons perform this procedure, make sure you seek consultation with a reputable and experienced cosmetic hip implant specialist. You may have to travel a long distance from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Answer: BBL candidate Trinity, You have very little fat in multiple areas. Liposuction of several areas may yield enough fat to transfer, but in truth, you look very good now. A physical exam would be needed in your case to confirm that it is possible/beneficial. Best wishes, Dr. T
