Hello betsythecat,Thanks for your questions! Based on your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery. Your current Body Mass Index is between the ideal range for a successful BBL procedure. However, I would recommend asking your plastic surgeon if he/she requires you to gain weight or not depending on whether he/she is planning to do a full body Liposuction or just a limited Liposuction to harvest the fat. Set up an in-person consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon and continue having a healthy lifestyle with an exercise regimen and diet plan before and after surgery. Best wishes! Dr. De La Cruz.
Hello and no, you are not too skinny for a BBL. You are actually a very good candidate and your goal body if very achievable with the amount of fat available for harvest. BBLs on smaller patients turn out great. In cases where we don't have a lot of fat it is more about the shape rather then the size. This is not your case. We have enough fat for a considerable increase in size and a better shape as well.Best of luck on your procedure!Dr. Miguel Mota
