I am 5”7 weigh 130lbs. I’d like my lower hips, almost the “saddlebag” area to be as wide as my shoulders, two inches wider. And a little volume to my upper cheeks. I have a square shaped but and am wanting a heart shaped one, is this possible?

Answer: Mini BBL Heart Shape - is this possible? Hi. It is hard to evaluate the amount of fat that you have available for a BBL. You might need to gain weight for good BBL results. Just keep in mind that the weight needs to be maintained. The best weight for stable BBL results is a stable weight. Even if you don’t gain any weight, all fat that you have in your abdomen, back, sides, flanks, waist and even inner thighs can be harvested for fat transfer to hips. I feel that you need a little lats as well, so some should go to you lats. I’M SURE THIS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE…..the question is how much of a difference and if your going to be satisfied. I don’t think it will be enough to look like your “wish pics”, but it will still be a noticeable change in your overall shape. Gaining weight before or even after surgery will help. The transferred fat will behave like it did before. So if you had lipo on your waist, for example, and you usually gain weight in your love handles, you will now gain that weight in the fat grafted areas…your butt and hips. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: BBL candidate Dear Hereiamsideboob, 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.
