Question

Can I get a result like this from a BBL with my body type?

Lane Smith, MD · Answer

You would have to gain a significant amount of weight to achieve those results from a bbl. My recommendation is to consider buttock implants. With buttock implants, you could achieve your goal booty without gaining weight, and possibly changing your beautiful figure or taught skin with the weight gain. 
If you would like to be seen for a consultation here at Smith Plastic Surgery, feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation.

You may be able to get closer to that look, but the exact result depends on how much usable donor fat you have, your skin quality, and your natural pelvic/hip shape. In your photos, you already have a relatively small waist and some buttock projection, which is favorable for creating a more rounded BBL result. The area that would likely need the most planning is adding upper and lateral hip fullness while shaping the waist with careful liposuction.

That said, if you are quite lean, the limit may be fat availability rather than surgical technique. A BBL can improve contour and projection, but it cannot always duplicate a reference photo, especially if the reference has a different bone structure or more starting volume. I would discuss expected fat harvest, likely retained volume, and safety technique with your surgeon; fat should be placed only in the safe subcutaneous plane, not into the muscle.

Thanks for your question. Based on your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for the BBL. A BBL requires 360 lipo, which is lipo of the upper and lower abdomen, the upper and lower back and the flanks. In addition, if you do not have enough fat in these areas, liposuction can be performed in many other areas of the body for fat transfer to the buttocks, such as the upper arms and chin. That said, you may be asked to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure the surgeon you choose has extensive experience with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

That looks like a reasonable result. Check with your plastic surgeon to make sure they feel comfortable that they can achieve it but it does not look like you want anything extreme.

Dear princessjebli,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a BBL. Liposuction of your abdomen, back and flanks should give you more curves and hourglass shape and fat transfer to buttocks should give you more projection. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

"Thank you for sharing your question. After reviewing both your current pictures and the goal images you've shared, it does seem feasible that you could achieve a result similar to your desired look with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Your body type appears to have adequate fat reserves in specific areas that can be harvested and transferred to enhance your buttocks.
However, it's essential to keep in mind that individual results can vary based on various factors, including the quality of the donor fat and post-operative care. Always consult with a board-certified surgeon for personalized advice.

Based on your pictures, it is possible, in my experience.

Of course, an “in person” consultation is necessary.

I hope this helps, 
best of luck !

Emil Kohan, MD · Answer

The results you are trying to achieve, in my opinion, are realistic! The best way to know is to look up your surgeon and evaluate his before and after photos, and read their reviews. Find patients with similar body types that underwent the procedure you are desiring. This is the best indicator of realistic expectations going into surgery. In your case, I think you would be very happy if you choose the right doctor... Although results are never guaranteed by anyone, you are reasonable in your "wish pics." Hope this helps!
