You appear to be a very good candidate for the liposuction and Brazilian buttlift.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a great candidate for liposuction with BBL, and I think you'll get very good results. To determine the right amount of CC's to transfer in a BBL, an in-person consultation is in order, because it depends on a number of factors.
Liposuction allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You can improve your abdomen, hips, 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 33 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 :)

Based on your photos alone, it is difficult to asses your donor sites 
for the BBL procedure.   From the photos alone, you may not have enough 
excess fat in donor sites for a BBL.  However, a physical exam
 is really needed to make any recommendations. The amount of volume that
 can be
 added to your buttock will be limited by the amount of excess fat you 
have in your donor sites. The posterior flanks are a great reservoir of 
donor fat for the BBL procedure. The BBL procedure involves harvest fat 
from areas of your body where there is excess fat and injecting that fat
 carefully into the central zone of your buttock. In addition, it 
involves liposculpting the buttock to facilitate a more rounded look. 
The common donor sites for this procedure is your posterior 
waist/flanks, lateral thighs, back, waist, and anterior tummy. Please 
visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your 
options.Dr. BasuHouston, TX

I doubt that you have 800 cc of fat  to be injected to each side based on the photos you posted.. Best to be seen in person. Good luck.
