How could I get a butt like Summer Walker if I’m not a candidate for BBL?

Question

I am 5’4”, 122 lbs and am told that my BMI does not qualify me for bbl. I’ve also heard butt injections I’m don’t look as natural so I’m curious about other options.

In thinner patients, buttock implants may be the only option to augment as fat reserves may be in too small a supply. The benefits of buttock implants will be that they are permanent solution. The implants are solid silicone with some flexibility. These will not rupture in the conventional sense. They will provide a durable and predictable improvement. Consult with a board certified PS via email or Skype.

Dear cali2000,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I am glad to hear that your doctor was honest by telling you that you do not have enough fat for BBL nor did s/he ask you to gain weight for a BBL. Even if you did have enough fat for BBL there is no comparison for the predictability, reliability, and permanent results of buttock implants. Glad to be of help.

HEllo @cali2000,
The easy answer is gain weight. Once your BMI is 23 or greater you will have enough fat for a BBL. In the meantime if you add exercises like squats and lunges and stair masters to build your gluteal muscles you will be able to build your booty.SincerelyDr.G

Rarely is somebody not at all a candidate for a BBL. At your current height and weight you can probably have a modest improvement with fat transfer but it will require liposuction of most of your body.

This means liposuction of your full torso(upper abdomen, lower abdomen, love handles, waist, back and under arms), Arms inner knees and inner thighs.

With that amount of Liposuction someone can probably fairly easily harvest 1.5 L of fat.

750 mL should be plenty for a great BBL.

I recommend having more consultations.

Gluteal implants are an option. They have a long list of complications that often lead to disfigurement.

If you do choose implants make sure you go to a provider who does them on a regular basis.

There are very legitimate reasons why most plastic surgeons in the United States do not offer gluteal implants.

Best,
