Am I good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift? I'm 5'2", 120 lbs? (photos)

Question

Hi. Lift heavy weights and am in fairly good shape but do have a little fat around stomach, back by bra strap, and in arms. 1. Am I a good candidate for a BBL? I would like more fullness, projection, and wider hip to outer thigh, while still retaining some of the pear shape to my butt. 2. If I do not have enough fat: my mother is considering lipo and has a good amount of fat? Is it possible to use her as a "fat donor"? Would my body accept the fat? And is this a strange request? Thank you!

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you do not appear to be a candidate for this procedure, but there is always that we can do. What I recommend you is be consulted by board certified plastic surgeon specialized in Body Contour, who knows individualize each patient to give you the better advice.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for the photos, It is difficult to determine from your photos whether you would have enough fat to transfer for a BBL. Unfortunately, you can not use your mother's or anyone else's fat. I would recommend an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in treating all different body shapes and sizes.

Unfortunately, you cannot use your mother's fat.  As a bodybuilder, I operate on females who work out a great deal.  I am not sure if I could improve upon your physique, but an exam would be able to make that determination.Try to research this to find the surgeon who consistently produces the 
results you would expect.  Look at reviews on this site and see who gets the surgery right every time.  Find
 a  board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of Brazilian 
buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's   
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can   
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for butt implants, since you don't have enough fat to transfer, and I think you'll get very good results. The size and shape of the implants are determined during an in-person consultation.
l recommend you to make a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a proper answer and to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

From just viewing the pictures you provided, it does not look like you have enough fat to transfer and get an optimum result. When I have patients who want this procedure and they have a similar body build, I suggest butt implants with fat grafting to surrounding areas and also to sometimes have the patient gain about 10 pounds to help add to the fat that we will be using to fat graft. Unfortunately your fat is the only fat you would have the option of using.Thank you for you question and I hope you schedule a consultation for a face to face discussion with a board certified plastic surgeon before making a decision!Melinda Lacerna-Kimbrell, MD, FACS
