5’2 120 lbs, am I too skinny for BBL? (photos)

Question

Im 5’2 120 lbs Waist is 29-30 I’m not sure if I’ll consider this route because I’m small but what’s the body percentage to maybe achieve the goal I would like? It may be too unrealistic for my body shape:( I’m 21.95 on this BMI calculator. I’ don’t really know about butt implants ..it seems too much work to get new ones in 10 years again. But is it possible to do these type of bbl on thin patients? Please don’t say “ come in for consultation to see if you qualify”

Based on the photos you provided you are a candidate for a BBL. Fat can be harvested from your abdomen and flanks mainly. I believe you can have enough to make a significant difference in the projection of your buttocks. Good luck. :)

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well...based on the exposed photos I see that you are a perfect candidate for a liposculpture and bbl.With liposculpture I can shape your body and the fat that I extract can give you better projection on the buttocks what if you have to know I can make you buttocks turned and with nice shape but there is a low percentage that is reabsorbed but equally volume and shape is maintained .

Thank you for your question and photos. With a BMI of 22, you are a good candidate for a BBL and VASER Hi Def Lipo. Traditional lipo will not get you the results that you desire. You start out with a good body shape and bone structure.I recommend VASER HI Def Lipo of your whole back, waist, upper hips, lower back fat pad and full abdomen to get an athletic, hourglass figure and fat transfer to the buttocks. See the enclosed web reference of a patient of mine with similar BMI and a weight of 112lbs at surgery.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. good luck.

Based on your photos you can expect a very nice improvement. I am not sure if your goal photo will be possible but if you reconsider your expectations you will be pleased, Good luck,

Dear 1X1,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.Daniel Barrett, MD
