Can a skinny girl with a big butt get a butt lift? (Photo)

Question

I am 5'5", 115-120 pounds, round butt, and no intention of gaining weight. However, I'm not fond of my love handles and my thighs. I was wondering about getting lipo on these areas (and my waist while we're at it) and use that fat to shape up my curves, along with removing a little bit of fat from my waist to make me look even thinner. I wouldn't want something super extreme, but instead something subtle to enhance my shape. Is this possible/safe? How much bigger could my butt get? Cost?

It is possible to get a butt lift even if you are skinny.  Sculpting the areas around the buttocks (thighs, waist, back) will help to improve the overall shape of the butt.  Even a relatively small amount of fat transfer in a thin patient will give a nice fullness and projection.  Each patient is different and your surgeon should be able to customize a treatment plan for you.

The areas of the hips and thighs that you do not like an be liposuctioned.  This can define the buttocks better.

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

The term "Buttock augmentation" for many conjures up images of large volume transfer for significant size increases. While this is true in many cases, there are exceptions. Fat transfer is a tool which is utilized by the operating surgeon to achieve a particular goal. For some, the goal is augmentation, for others it is sculpting to achieve a more pleasing curve or contour.Your proposed plan of fat harvest from the thighs and flanks followed by grafting to the buttock can be very effective at delivering a more pleasing shape. You will benefit both from the liposuction of problem areas as well as the redistribution to the buttock (with the goal of improved contour).As always, consult with a board certified plastic surgeon regarding your goals.

You are a great candidate for liposuction and butt lift surgery.  Your butt lift would be accomplished through taking the fat from your waist and thighs to use as fat grafts for your buttocks.
