Can I have wider hips with BBL? (Photo)

Question

I'm a 32 year-old asian female, 5'7" and 145 lbs. I have very thick bones. I have narrow hips and I would like to get as wide as my ideal photos and of course rounder and bigger buttocks as well. Am I a good candidate for BBL? Should I lose weight for better result? If my current shape is 1, and my ideal is 10 (See photos), how close can I get with BBL realistically?

Hi.. thank you for the question and photos... Your goal photo is totally achievable with Mid/Low Back Liposuction, waist contour and Abdominal (stomach) Etching and BBL... you are a great candidate for this procedure...

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. 
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, hips, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 33 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

With your weight and photos I believe that you can get a very good result including buttock enlargement with contouring, hip enlargement as well as flattening your buttocks and narrowing your waist. You back may also be liposuctioned. You do not need to lose weight. You should consult with a Board Certified PS with extensive experience performing the BBL. Good luck!

Based on the pictures posted, you seem to have enough fat in the abdomen and the flanks to reshape the buttocks and the hips. Fat transferred to the hips and the projection of the buttocks.This will shape your abdomen, waist and flanks with the liposuction and fat transfer shapes the hips and buttocks.

You may be a candidate for the BBL procedure. However, a physical exam
 is really needed to make any recommendations. The amount of volume that can be
 added to your buttock will be limited by the amount of excess fat you 
have in your donor sites. The posterior flanks are a great reservoir of 
donor fat for the BBL procedure. The BBL procedure involves harvest fat 
from areas of your body where there is excess fat and injecting that fat
 carefully into the central zone of your buttock. In addition, it 
involves liposculpting the buttock to facilitate a more rounded look. 
The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior 
waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy. Please 
visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your 
options.Dr. BasuHouston, TX
