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.-
You must select a board certified plastic surgeon with a track record of getting impressive results for thinner patients.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
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.
Thank you for your question and photographs.I would recommend that you schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon so they can perform a physical examination of your body and see if you are a good candidate for BBL or not. If you have little body fat, which it appears based on your pictures that you do, you may be a better candidate for buttock implants. I do not recommend patients gaining weight prior to surgery because weight fluctuations before or after the procedure can affect your results. For patients who have little body fat I recommend using buttock implants using the XYZ technique which is intramuscular. This would be the best option for you if you do not have enough body fat to harvest for a Brazilian butt lift and will help you achieve a curvier look. Best of luck in your endeavors!Sincerely,James Fernau, MD, FACSBoard Certified ENTBoard Certified Plastic SurgeryMember of ASPS, ASAPS, ISAPS, The Rhinoplasty Society, AAFPRS, OTO/HNS, ASLMS, International Federation for Adipose Therapeutics & Science
The recommended BMI is less than 30. This is the recommendation of the American society of plastic surgery. The reason simply, is increased chance of complications. These include but limited to, pulmonary embolus, deep venous thrombosis, delayed wound healing and increase infection rate.A "BBL" Brazilian butt lift harvest fat from areas ( Liposuction ) with the fat removed from the areas using your own fat it transfer to the buttocks and into the hips.The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body.When you're looking for a cosmetic procedure you find a surgeon that has been certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

You will have to get clearance from your general surgeon but in all likelihood you will have to wait 4-6 months minimum.
Hi and thanks for the question. No steroids are not necessary after BBL. You should not be required to take any form of steroid after this procedure. Best of Luck - Dr Hardy...
Nearly a decade ago I had a patient with a large abdominal area, small buttocks and narrow hips ask me about widening her hips during her BBL and so I injected remaining fat carefully into the “trochanteric fat pad,” or “saddlebag” area, which is an area that normally carries fat in women. T...
I would argue that you already have a bit of an hourglass shape - your waist has a bit of definition already. That said, the best way to determine what is possible is to look at before and after actual patient photos from board certified plastic surgeons. Find "before" photos that best ma...
I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing ...
I would discuss with your surgeon. If you are doing an implant for example, I would cancel without question. Otherwise, I would discuss with your surgeon, although it is always safer to postpone elective surgery.
