I'm 5'4, 119lbs, petite Asian. Am I a candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift? (photos)

Based on your photos you are not a good candidate for a BBL. You do not have enough fat to transfer - I would not recommend gaining weight for this procedure either as gained weight dispurses all over the body not to just one area.

    You may not have enough fat, but I would have to examine you to make that determination.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with moderate BBL, and I think you'll get very good results.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, back and flanks, and of course your buttock, to give you a nice heart shape.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Tank you so much for your photos, since probably your genetics wiil make you remain in this weight! even if you try to force your bosy to gain weigh, you will come back to your ideal weigh!.In my profesional opinion you are a great candidate for a but implant intra muscular, it will look natural and balance with your body!Please let my know if you have any question!Sincerely Dr. Manuel GutierrezBoar certified plastic surgeon

I never ask my patients to gain weight for a BBL, for 2 reasons. First when you gain weight, you are not increasing the number of fat cells, you are only filling this cells more. the moment you loose the weight, you will also loose it on the graft. Second, How can i guarantee that this weight you gained will be in areas where i will be able to easily suction?? i don't agree in huge liposuction of all the body, Liposuction is for localized fat, not for loosing weight. Trust me you will have left over after your surgery if you gain weight.I have a simple Surgery selection criteria for Buttocks augmentation, Shape. If you like the shape of your Buttocks, then implants will always be the best, and more lasting solution.If you want to reshape your buttocks, in my hands Fat is the best option.If you want to reshape and augment and you have enough fat, then a BBL will be enough, but if you don't have enough fat, we will use the fat available to reshape and Implants to augment.A few other colleagues offer online consultations where you send us your photos and we can estimate the cost. Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discuss what will be the proper treatment to achieve the result you desires.Regards,Dr. Luis Redondo
