There is no doubt that you are good candidate for BBL. You do not need much fat graft to achieve visible improvement in buttocks/hips. In person consultation or teleconference with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in  BBL is recommended. Good luck.

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEPOBRAS · Answer

Based on your photos, you appear to have a relatively lean frame, so the main question is whether you have enough usable fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, waist, or thighs to create the change you want. A “skinny BBL” can be appropriate for some lean patients, but the result is usually a subtle contour improvement rather than a very dramatic increase in projection.

I would not recommend gaining 10-20 pounds just to qualify for surgery unless that is a stable and healthy weight for you. If the extra weight is temporary and you lose it after surgery, some of the transferred fat and overall shape may change. It is usually better to be evaluated at a weight you can realistically maintain.

An in-person consultation is needed to assess donor fat, skin quality, hip and buttock shape, and whether your goal is achievable with fat transfer alone. If there is not enough donor fat, options may include accepting a modest result, staging the procedure, focusing on liposuction contouring, or discussing non-surgical or implant-based alternatives with a qualified surgeon.

BBL safety is also very important. Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs BBLs frequently and follows modern safety standards, including placing fat only in the subcutaneous layer and using ultrasound guidance when appropriate. Ask to see examples of lean patients with a similar starting point so your expectations are realistic.

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good BBL candidate. The BBL includes 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. I recommend you schedule a consult for a proper evaluation. Make sure your surgeon you choose has extensive experience in with BBL surgery and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Dear maiisjourney,
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.

After reviewing your photos, it appears that you would do well with a skinny or mini BBL. If you truly want to gain 10 to 20 pounds, I would recommend gaining 5 to 10 pounds having the BBL and then finish your journey. Good luck

Mathew A. Plant, MD, FRCSC · Answer

​Without examining you it is difficult to be certain but based on the photos it looks like you would indeed be a good candidate for this procedure. Liposuction around the waist and to your upper back would make a big difference in the appearance and shape and transferring that to the butt and more importantly the hip dips and the transition zone would give you a great hourglass shape! I’d suggest having a consultation with a local plastic surgeon who specializes in BBL to be examined and get a better sense of what your options are. Hope that helps!
