You would be a good candidate for a BBL--where liposuction is performed all around your trunk (360 degrees ) and then the fat is transferred to your hips and butt to totally reshape you. It is an incredibly powerful operation to reshape and change the body. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that explain it much better. I have included a link below.

Thanks for your question. From your picture, 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. If you don't have enough fat to transfer in these areas, then liposuction can be performed in other areas such as the chin and upper arms. Depending on your desired results, you may be asked to gain some weight. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience with the BBL and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Hi Humorous973363, 
Weight gain isn't always necessary prior to a BBL, it all depends on the comfort level of your surgeon. Rarely do we require patients to gain weight prior to surgery. An hourglass figure is based upon your own body's bone and muscle structure. You would need a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in the procedure to best determine what is achievable.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested 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
