I am 5'8 and weigh 135lbs. I've always been considered beautiful, although I've only recently started enjoying the way I look. My weight is very stable and I've been eating junk for the past 3 months. (I moved and started going to school fulltime and I'm a mother of a two year old so I reverted back to old eating habits) I have actually lost a few lbs recently (stress probably). But let me tell you, I feel like [RS bleep]. I miss eating clean, and apparently my weight is stubborn. That could be a problem for me, but we shall see.
I have big boobs. I have always loved my big boobs and my big hips, but I never wanted people to look at me from behind because my flat butt didn't match the rest of me. I really like my body, save for the butt. And it is a real insecurity for me.
I am not looking for a huge butt because that would look strange on me, however, if I could get the hollow areas filled out, I think it will be more in harmony with my wide hips. Also, I do not have much waist definition. That would be beyond amazing. I feel so grateful that this surgery exists, hopefully I am not too thin to achieve what I want.
I am currently in the process of speaking to Dr. Salama's office in Aventura, Florida. I've seen his work on a few skinny girls. If you know of any other Dr.s who are good with thinner girls, please let me know.
I can't wait to have this surgery. I am not concerned with the weight gain or loss after surgery. I am more concerned with the amount of fat cells that actually "take". I am still doing research on the whole weight gain issue, but it seems like there is a lot of different opinions on it.
I am an artist. To me, the vision I have for my body is very much like the vision I have before I create something. I hope that my surgeon and I can make something beautiful....and that the fat stays where its put!

Good luck on your journey. Dr. Salama is the go to guy. But be mindful that you may need a revision or round two if your body doesn't hold on to fat in that part of your body Some skinnier gals have gained the weight for the surgery, but have lost volume. There is no sure fast way of telling how your body will deal with the fat transfer. Most agree though that a revision or a round 2 leaves more permanent results.

Ok. Thank you for your advice!

Your welcome. Dr. Salama is a very personable doctor. Ask him what his experience is with his thinner patients (i.e., how many come back for more BBL work). He will be upfront and honest with you.

5'8 135 or even 155lbs is what you call "chubby"? That's funny

What I'm Currently Working With

Here are some pictures of me currently at 135ish lbs. I am the mother of a two year old. My stomach is a tad looser than it used to be but I don't think I need any kind of TT. I am not wanting a huge butt, just an existent one! I do want a small waist but I think that my rib to hip ratio is too small. Does that make sense? Like girls who have a long torso are able to get more narrow waists. I am all legs...like a frog.

I got an email today from Cynthia at Dr. Salama's office. It said that he had viewed my pictures and to call the office to find out what he thought. I tried calling but the office had already closed. I will update tomorrow on what his comments were.

The photos I attached are the ones I sent his office.

Hi, how are you getting on with your implants? I just read your post and I have exactly the same problem, no matter how much exercise I do, my but don't seem to change.
It looked painful process, but also looks beautiful. I wanted to ask you about the scar if you were left with any on your butt.
Keep up the good work. :-)

I know right! It's like, 100 squats a day is getting me nowhere! I didn't get implants, only fat transfer. I have 5 scars on my butt area. two on the top of each butt cheek, two on the bottom of each butt cheek, and one in the butt crack up high where the drain was.

She said I need to gain 20lbs! That seems so ominous. I remember I weighed about the same in high school as I do now, and I was so afraid of gaining weight so I started calorie restricting. I actually damaged my metabolism (which was already fast) and I began packing on the lbs til I got to about 150-155 and it stayed there no matter how much working out I did or calorie restriction. Finally I gave up on dieting and started eating healthy foods in combination of junk food and threw my scale out. Crazy thing, my metabolism restarted and my weight crept down back to my normal range. SO the thought of putting the weight back on kinda stirs up some mixed emotions for me. When I was 150 I had more booty but I also had more belly. Now that I'm more slender my stomach flattened out but my butt disappeared. LOL

That is why I am grateful for this surgery. Ok so I am scheduled for August 8th, assuming I am able to gain the weight needed.
She said to send her some of my "wish pics" but I have a hard time finding anyone that already has wide hips. I'm guessing more of a heart booty?

Only my husband knows, and I don't plan on telling anyone else... I just love squats... LOL

I am dedicated to gaining weight, however my approach is not going to be to stop working out and stop eating right. I plan to lift heavy and keep the blood circulated. I'm going to continue with my fruits and veggies and then add a avocado/peanut butter type of smoothie at night to store more fat. If that doesn't work for the first month, I will try what Cynthia suggested: "Monster Mass". 2 years ago I had high cholesterol, but by adding jogging and fruit to my diet I knocked it down 70 pts. I am determined to keep as healthy as possible on this journey.

And Nancy is the best!! She always responds super quick!! I'm going to try and gain some weight too even though she said I didn't need too because I have a lot of fat in my waist. I've seen some other RS girl say she took Apetamin and it helped her gain weight I'm going to try it they have it on Amazon :) good luck girly

The important thing is that you have a well thought out plan. The weight gainers are good because it allows for weight gain in a healthy way without resorting to eating junk foods etc. Good luck doll. You've got work to do. Keep us posted!

Good for you! I understand exactly what you mean. I lost weight through being active and healthy eating. At 5'2" 136 I am terrified of gaining weight. A majority of the BBL'rs are thicker women so finding a slimmer BBL is hard her. Not sure how you feel about traveling outside of the states but Dr. Villalobos & Dr. Tania Medina (who I'm considering) do very well with smaller patients and their before pictures don't appear to be women who gained huge amounts of weight. Their results are natural but you can see the shapeliness and definition. Congrats on starting your journey. It's so consuming but you're mindset is beautiful! Stay healthy so you can feel good on the inside and out when all is said and done. And God forbid (but lets not be naive) if the surgery doesn't give you the exact results we want we'll still be happy with our bodies. Putting on 20 pounds sounds so drastic to me but your method sounds positive! Thanks for sharing! Wishing you all the best! Can't wait to see the best version of you!

Salama has amazing results on small frame! I am one of his... I was 5'3 137lbs the day of the surgery and he gave me 1200cc on each cheek!

Those surgeons sound really good. I have decided on Salama, but I enjoy looking at the other styles and shapes on here. Every surgeon is a little different! Thank you for the love and support! :)

Hey girl! That's the truth. You were skinny and somehow he managed to give you a big booty! looking forward to more booty pics! Hope you're feeling well.

You do not need to gain all that weight. I am 5'5 and 110 llbs. and I am getting the surgery done in two weeks. I would look at other doctors.
