Based on your photos, you do not have a significant amount of fat for a BBL. It is important to have realistic expectations to avoid post operative disappoint. Have a consultations with  a board certified plastic surgeon who will discuss various options such a implants.  I usually do not suggest weight gain before surgery unless you plan to stay at the higher weight.  Weight lost after a BBL can affect your final results.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for full body intense liposuction to improve your body contour and get better curves, especially in your waist area and Dominican Butt lift taking the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection.
Kind regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi and thanks for the question and photos. It appears from your pictures that you are currently too lean for BBL. I suggest weight gain and I would consider buttocks implants. Best of Luck- Dr Hardy...

From looking at your photos you don't have a lot of excess fat. There is some over your abdomen and some more at your love handles...possibly some over your anterior thighs, but definitely not enough for HIGH volume fat transfer. I would imagine something like 300-400cc per side max. It is important that you make sure with your PS that your expectations are in line with theirs.
