Hi! I am 20 years old, 5'4 and 124 lbs. I feel my body is disproportioned since I have broad shoulders, big arms, big bust but skinny legs, smaller hips and little fat in buttocks. I eat really healthy and do exercise regularly but my genetics keep me from having a more delicate and balaced figure. Would I be a good candidate for upper body lipo (including arms) and fat transfer to buttocks? Or would upper body lipo alone (making my waist smaller) is enough for buttocks to appear larger?

Answer: Upper body liposuction to give a balanced look
Thank you for the photos. Although these show only a back view, limited advise can be given. You seem to have a small amount of localized fat at the waistline and over the posterior rims of the pelvic bones. Your buttocks look round laterally, but I cannot comment on projection due to lack of a side view. Since you already have a nice figure, this additional contouring would give you an additional improvement of your mid and lower back. I would not recommend liposuction of your arms. The small amount of fat collected from these areas can be transferred to the buttocks to enhance posterior projection.

Answer: What Should I do for a More Balanced Look?
You would need to have a full examination and discussion with your plastic surgeon to decide what would procedures would be best for you. However, judging from your pictures, some traditional liposuction around your hips and flanks would make waist line look thinner and enhance the natural contours of your bottom. You could benefit some from arm lipoplasty to tighten the upper arms too.
However, I would recommend you avoid buttock fat autoaugmentation. This procedure could leave your bottom with lumpy fat deposits and irregularities. Hope this helps, Erez Sternberg, MD.
