Can you take fat from breasts to use for a Brazilian butt lift?

lagirl2300Jan 4, 2018
I’m tiny with 34DDs.. I want a bigger butt and wider hips (hourglass figure) to make me look proportional, but I’m very small everywhere else, my boobs are the only really fatty parts on my body. I dont want butt implants, would a brazilian butt lift work for me? can they take fat from my boobs? or is there a better procedure more fit for what i want..
