Thanks for your question. From you pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for the BBL. For the BBL, the fat is transferred to the hip and buttocks area. You surgeon will consider you goals and what can be done for your anatomy. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

You don't need to gain any weight before your BBL--you have enough fat for what we call a skinny BBL. The video will help to explain it but essentially you have good fatty deposits in your love handle region and in your tummy to perform a BBL. Most people tend to think they need a lot more fat than they do.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear Lilac2413,
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.

Usually, fat transfer would extend to adjacent areas, such as hips, in order to give a more natural look.
