Being a good candidate means having an appropriate body shape, skin tone, amount of fat and being in good health.

              I think that your stomach would be smaller and your hips and buttocks would be much larger.   I typically liposuction 5 liters and transfer 1500 cc per buttock, which makes a big difference.  The only other thing to consider would be the quality of your skin, which cannot be appreciated in these pictures.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials 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, MD Los Angeles, CA

Getting closer to your ideal weight will always enhance your final results and reduce surgery risks.

I can't see your abdomen in your pictures , but if you've had kids you will probably need also a tummy tuck to achieve the flat abdomen you want.
