Hello, I was wondering if my body/bmi is suitable for this procedure. My BMI as of now is 23.5 but I’m trying to gain about 5 pounds. I would say I’m skinny/slim but I have plenty of fat on my stomach (slight pooch) and inner thigh fat as well as a little under arm fat. I want to achieve & little back fat. Im trying to achieve an hourglass shape & need enough fat for bbl. What do you suggest to achieve this. Do I need more fat? Thank you.
Answer: Would I be a good candidate for liposculpture? Thanks for your question. It's hard to provide a proper evaluation without seeing pictures. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Am I a candidate? An in person evaluation is recommended to determine if you are a candidate. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to discuss your goals. Contouring with liposuction may improve your trouble areas and give you an illusion of a more hour glass shape even if you do not have adequate fat to transfer.

Answer: BMI and Body Shape: Are You a Candidate for Liposculpture? Dear Magical30963, Based on your description, you could be a good candidate for liposculpture. Your BMI is within a healthy range, and you've identified specific areas of concern where you have excess fat. Liposculpture can target these areas, removing unwanted fat and sculpting the body to enhance your natural contours. Regarding your interest in a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the amount of fat required for transfer varies depending on the desired result. A physical examination would be needed to ascertain if you currently have enough fat for the procedure, or if gaining weight might be beneficial. Remember, it's important to have a realistic understanding of what these procedures can achieve. Your body shape and tissue characteristics will significantly affect your results. I recommend you to have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can perform an in-person evaluation and guide you on the best way to achieve your desired results. They can also recommend that you gain more weight if necessary. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen
