I am about 5'6 and 125 lbs. I'm not extremely skinny, but I don't have a ton of excess fat either. I have heard that some doctors will not perform a BBL on girls who don't have enough fat, so I'm curious if I would have to gain more weight to get this procedure done.

Answer: Weight Gain for BBL With a Brazilian Butt Lift, the amount of volume that can be added to the buttocks depends on the amount of fat you have in your abdomen, flanks, bra rolls and thighs to be removed via liposuction, and then transferred to your butt. Even with minimal fat to transfer, a BBL is oftentimes possible as long as the client is looking for natural, athletic looking bottoms as opposed to a round, voluptuous one. There are many different butt shapes, and if done correctly, a small amount of fat can add a subtle lift. Sometimes a small modification can make a big difference. For my thinner clients looking to obtain a fuller derriere than what a BBL would provide, I typically recommend using fillers to enhance their butt size. The use of an injectable poly-L-lactic acid helps stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which adds volume to the area. Always choose a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in these procedures. Best wishes!
