Do I have enough fat even though my weight is low? (Photo)

Question

I’m wondering if i’m suitable for a bbl? I have tried gaining weight for this surgery cause i’m lean with big muscles, so I stopped working out 6 months ago and started eating a lot to gain more fat. So now I have more fat, but since muscles weigh more than fat I haven’t gained weight cause I have lost my muscels aka opposite body recomposition, but do I still have enough fat for bbl even tho my weight is only 56kg? My height is 163cm and i’m 20 years old. I want to fix my hip dips, rounder bum

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for the BBL. The BBL includes 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. So, you need enough fat in these areas for transfer to the buttocks. That said, depending on your desired results, you may be asked to gain more 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.

Hello, thank you for your question @Calm295251, yes you are a great candidate for BBL. I do not advice my patients to gain weight before performing lipoinjection because what is desired is a harmonious body by transferring fat form various part of the body to breast or buttocks so that the body looks proportional. Gaining weight for this type of surgery is to some extent alter the results you would like to have. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures you appear to be good candidate for the full body intense liposuction and finally 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

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for a BBL. Fat grafting to the buttocks and hips will improve your contour and shape. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best plan. I hope this helps.
