Can I have a BMI of 20 and get a Brazilian butt lift and will gaining a little bit of weight help with this procedure?

Asked By:nicoleyermanos in San Diego, CA

I'm 5 foot 5 weighing 120 with a bmi of 20. I would like an actually noticeable difference in my butt. Am I an ok candidate for a bbl? I am a little bit afraid of getting implants because of their unnatural feel and high rates of infection. I would consider bbl with implant but I don't think I would be able to afford that procedure.
