5'9, 159lbs, will a BBL help me fix my inverted triangle shape? (Photos)

Question

I am 5’9 159 pounds with broad shoulders and very small hips and butt. I desperately want to improve my shape to be more hourglass and wanted to know if my goals are realistic if I get a bbl?

Stefan Mark Szczerba, MD · Answer

It definitely may help!  The small ratio changes can be a nice improvement.  I don't see a lot of fat to use for your BBL so adding Renuva or Sculptra for additional volume may be an idea.  Best Wishes!!

Igor Burko, MD · Answer

Hello, my name is Dr Burko, and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. You are a candidate for liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks. However, it is important to discuss expectations with your plastic surgeon. You have limited body fat, therefore, the amount of fat that can be transferred to your buttocks/hips is limited. Another option for your buttocks is augmentation with a buttock implant.

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, a BBL will help your shape. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. In addition, if you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body for fat transfer to the buttocks, such as the upper arms and chin. Depending on your desired results, you may be asked to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear BLopezg,
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.

Thank you for your question. As a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), your goals to achieve a more hourglass figure at 5’9” and 159 pounds are realistic. BBL can enhance your buttocks and potentially balance your proportions, but remember, results depend on your body's fat availability and natural structure. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a personalized assessment.
