Would gaining weight and getting a BBL make me have a more feminine figure? If not, what do you recommend?

Question

I was born with a really awkward figure. I have a wide upper body and no hips. I am in good shape because when I do gain weight it all goes to my tummy (and boobs). I feel like a boy with have no hips or curves. I have a hard time dating because I don't feel like a woman! I am considering putting on weight and getting a bbl for a more feminine figure. I would ask the doctor to put a good amount of the fat in my hips. Do you think that would help my figure? If not, what would you recommend?

Dear Genius907218,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Hello, thank you for your question. Gaining weight is often counterproductive. If you gain weight that is fat, some of the fat will likely be associated with the buttocks. In almost every case, I do not recommend weight gain prior to a BBL. I think it is better to maintain a stable weight. Based on your photos, you can benefit from a BBL. Liposuction will remove the excess fat on your sides, abdomen, thighs, flanks, and back and make the waist as small as possible. The fat harvested can be transferred to the buttocks to ensure optimal fat viability and projection. The amount of fat that can be transferred with a BBL depends on the quality of fat available for ‘harvest’ and the condition of the receiving area

By analyzing your pictures first I would like to talk about your buttock type in reference to a classification of buttock shapes, yours is in the foundation of an A type witch is regarded as a good candidate for buttock shaping surgery BBL on the other hand your bone frame is a bit long (if we imagine an L on the buttock ) the vertical arm would be 3 and horizontal arm would be 1 (1:3 ) ratio and that unfortunately give a masculine figure to overcome this problem the love handles and lower back should be sculpt to create a shallow enough to Make the upper margin definite the fat that would be harvested from the abdomen and love handles (360 ABS ) would be used to create the hip and central mound of the buttock hence rounding up the frame and creating an outer curvature in continuation with an inner curve of both sides of the abdomen all these as a total body sculpt we change your body in to a feminized figure

Based on the pictures, lipo of the flank and love handle area may give you some curves. The fat can be transferred to the buttock area at the same time. IN many cases, I do this awake with local anesthetic.

I do not recommend gaining weight for the purpose of fat transfer. It’s better to except a subtle result and include more areas in the Liposuction treatment to get sufficient fat for the fat transfer.

Start with liposuction of your full torso and in my practice I would add a Arms or inner thigh and Internet Liposuction if more fat was needed.

Do you have an attractive slim athletic figure that you should be proud of. Please do not gain weight for the purpose of looking better.

Your best look is to stay slim and you can certainly have a BBL if you want to.

Best,
