121lbs, 5'4 - am I a skinny candidate for BBL? (Photos)

Thanks for your question. From 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. 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. Based 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 in with Skinny BBLs and clean credentials. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

A skinny BBL focuses on shape over size/volume. Less fat is used and more precisely placed. Your photos suggest that you'd be great for this procedure.

In order to achieve your goal booty you would need to gain a significant amount of weight. I usually tell my patients they need 10 extra pounds that can be liposuctioned to make a difference, 20 pounds if they want a drastically larger bottom. Another alternative you may want to consider is buttock implants. Buttock implants could give you permanent, instant volume. Then if you wanted to add more fat on top of them later, it’s always an option.

The thinner patient requires an expert at liposuction to remove as much fat as possible while leaving the skin smooth. There is tremendous difference in skill level among plastic surgeons in fat removal and fat transfer skills.

This is a question of proportion between your buttocks and hips and your thighs and legs. A BBL performed by a board certified PS who has a wealth of experience can enhance your overall proportions by improving balance between your upper and lower body. The key in many of these cases is to remove as much fat from the areas of excess like the abdomen, sides, lower back, and bra rolls to reduce these larger dimensions. The fat harvested can then be transferred to the buttocks and hips to help balance this further.

Hi! You are a candidate for 360 liposuction with abdominal etching and US guided fat transfer to buttocks and hips. We do skinny BBLs on a lot of models. You would be surprised how much fat we can find in skinny patients. The key is also in the liposuction of the lower back to give you a better buttock and hip contouring. Hope this helps. Goodluck!

"Thank you for sharing your goals and details. At 121lbs and 5'4"", you are on the leaner side, which might limit the amount of fat available for transfer in a BBL. While you might achieve results that enhance your curves and hips, replicating the exact look from your wish pics might not be 100% achievable due to individual anatomy and fat availability. It's essential to have realistic expectations and consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach tailored to your specific needs and desired outcome.

Thanks for the question. I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour. 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

Dear Banny_x,
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.

Hello @Banny_x, thank you for your question. Yes you are candidate. A Brazilian Butt lift can greatly improve the shape and proportionality of the body by highlighting the contour at the waist level and improving the characteristics of the gluteal projection without exaggerating, from my perception of beauty. However, the bone structure does not change and remains the same, which influences the outcome of the procedure. The best course of action is to consult one or several board certified plastic surgeon for more information and options tailored specifically to your needs. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

It would be very difficult to give you meaningful opinion based only on these photos. It is very likely that you would have a visible improvement with well performed liposuction and limited fat transfer due to amount of available fat grafts. You should have in person or at least telemedicine consultation with a true expert in body contouring. Hope this helps.
