Can I get a Brazilian Butt Lift at 118 pounds? (photos)

Fat grafting really is the only way to go for a natural looking result. It may be quite possible to achieve your goals given your specifics, but you'll need to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced with the brazilian butt lift on all body types.I have been performing brazilian butt lifts for over a decade and in the fall of 2013 we completed a study of the last 100 cases to find averages. The average height of our patients is 5'3" and the average weight is 151 pounds. The average amount of fat injected (both buttock cheeks) is 1160cc's. How much you'll ultimately be able to transfer to the buttocks is, obviously, dependent on what is taken during liposuction.The reference link below is to one of my patients who is somewhat comparable for you. At the time of surgery she was 5'3" and 118 pounds. Granted, she wanted a subtle difference in her appearance, but it might give you a good idea of the type of results possible on a more slender frame body type. Be sure to ask to see before and after photos of comparable patient results during your consult.Best wishes!

Based on photos alone I do not think you are a good candidate for a BBL - I do not think you have enough fat to make a noticeable difference. However, you should seek an in person consultation to examine whether or not you have sufficient fat. Best of luck. 

Thank you for sharing your pictures .with the weight you have and the amount of body fat would be an excellent candidate for liposuction and fat transfer to the buttocks and hips that looks harmonious body.I hope my answer will help you to your question.Before undergoing any surgical procedure, please seek a board certified plastic surgeon

Even though you are thin, if there is fat to be harvested you can improve you buttock shape a lot. You may have to harvest many areas to get enough fat, such as your stomach, flanks, back, inner thighs, arms, etc.Even a small addition in volume can make a big difference. Your surgeon may need to choose a priority area to augment, such as the sides of the buttocks to correct a masculine look. You wont be able to get a really large buttock, but that would look unnatural on you anyway.good luck.

You appear very thin, but sometimes fat from many areas can be used to produce a very nice result.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with modest 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, 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 30 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 :)

Great question!  There are two factors that determine whether you are a good candidate for BBL.  First, Do you have enough at to harvest to be able to transfer to your buttocks and second what is the goal you want to achieve in your buttocks results.  Liposuction of the flanks and hips is part of doing a BBL, but is some cases, which by your pictures, you may be one of those cases, liposuction of other body areas may be required to get enough fat to do the fat transfer to your buttocks.  That then begs the question, are there other areas of your body that you want liposuction, because those areas will have have a change in shape with liposuction.  Also, is there enough fat in those areas to accomplish your goals.  Good luck!
