BBL on rectangle body shape - can I add hips to my frame? (Photos)

Question

Im a 42 year old womanwho is 5 10 185lbs-BF28%. I wrkout 5 to 6 days a week but dont have a significant hip and waist definition. I would like to get lipo360 and a bbl to add a shelf and hips to my frame. Is that possible with my current body shape?

Semih Yildiz, MD, FEPOBRAS · Answer

In my opinion, some improvement in waist definition and hip/buttock fullness may be possible, but the result has to be planned around your natural frame. A BBL can add volume to the hips and buttocks when there is enough donor fat, but it cannot change the pelvic bone structure or create a very narrow waist if the underlying torso is naturally straighter.
From the photos, I would want an in-person exam to assess skin quality, waist thickness, donor fat, and how much fat can be transferred safely. For your goal, the plan is often 360 liposuction to improve the waist-to-hip contrast plus selective fat transfer to the lateral hips and upper buttock, with realistic expectations about how much "shelf" and hip curve can safely survive.

Dear Stichesgalore,

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.

Thank you for your question.
Based on your concerns, you would likely be a suitable candidate for Lipo 360 combined with a BBL, which can contour the waist and add volume to the hips to create more definition and a balanced shape. Results will depend on available fat and your natural anatomy, but improvement is typically achievable.
A detailed evaluation can confirm the best approach for your goals.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Based on the information you shared, you appear to have enough fat for Lipo360 and BBL. These procedures may help create better waist definition and add more fullness to the hips and upper buttock area.
